Turk quality is all over the place. They range from really nice examples, to something that looks like it was dragged across the country behind a camel, repaired with bailing wire and with excessive headspace to boot. The M38s were made in Turkey but as stated previously, a lot of turk rifles were made in Germany and Czechoslovakia and may have been rearsenalled many times over.
The Turks also got creative with their rearsenalling practices- one of them was to cut a counterbore into the front of the receiver to hold the handguard in place. These aren't very common, but I wouldn't fire one if I found one. Most of the Turks with the exception of some the the CZ rifles are either small ring mausers, or large ring mauser 98s threaded for small ring barrels.
