I have a 1932 Turkish Mauser action with a .375 20" barrel (in an unknown chambering) on its way. I'm hoping it's .375 H&H, but we'll see on arrival. It's the action and trigger only with no bolt, magazine or any other bits. The guy I'm getting a great stock from, told me he recalled there was something different about the Turk Mausers, but he didn't recall what. Am I in for it in trying to make a rifle out of this? The stock is an older Interarms that he got from a PH in Africa 20 something years ago. It had been a .458, started a small crack that didn't go all the way through and has been professionally repaired, but the PH decided to go the synthetic route. I'm thrilled to have a beautiful piece of older wood! The first thing will be figuring out the chambering and if it isn't .375 H&H: is the action long enough for a rechambering, and can I rechamber the barrel? Only my gunsmith will know for sure when he sees it.

So the big question is, are the Turkish bits different and does anyone know a source?
