One should ALWAYS take a solvent saturated bronze Toothbrush to the firing pin channel, as the cosmoline can become hard and slow down the FP just enough to cause a light strike-Don't ask me how I know. As you mentioned , there could be solidified Cosmoline in the bolt also. I would soak the bolt for a week and then blow dry with compressed air before reassembling-John in Texas
Got the same style Turkish 1893 refurbed in 1933 to 8mm and had similar issues with bolt. I ended up boiling it for 4-5 minutes just to much cosmoline/crude/carbon to deal with soaking in gasoline and kerosene assisted, however over all boiling it did so much better. and YES it does kick out some nice groups over all for a almost 100 year old WWI/WWII work horse. Awesome video.
The problem with many turk mauser bolts is that they would cycle bolt to check clear and didnt decock it. I have an Ankara 1941 large ring and it did the same. I replaced pin and spring and now it even hammer thru stubborn greek primers
Really nice video! I have a '41 K Kale that I got for 1 1/2 bones in perfect condition and mirror bore is simply amazing. It puts them where you want and not ever a hiccup with the Turk hot rounds. Love this rifle! With my older eyes I added a scout scope and it a laser. I have always liked the 8mm and this rifle is one of the big reasons why. I picked up a Turkish bolo bayo for it also.
Disassembling and cleaning the bolt of cosmoline is essential with these. They come as caked as Mosins straight from a crate.

That's probably a firing pin spring issue. I had the same problem with mine. Got new spring for it, fires perfectly now.
I've shot a 3 shot sub1" group at 100 yards with Turk milsurp 8mm. Why I have three of them and 2 cases of vintage Turk 8 x 57mm:)-John in Texas
That cleaning rod was a bit excited during the accuracy test

Did you have any problems finding ammo?
That's a fantastic rifle
A taller front sight post will lower the point of impact. It dosent take much.

That 93 barrel will fit on that 38 Turk with a little fitting.
I have this exact rifle ☺️
I have 5 of them...only one in a modified stock. I'm considering making my own laminate stocks for them.

Good shooting
You could be having problems with Mach Gun ammo.None of it was close to SAM specks.
If you put a taller front barleycorn on that will bring that muzzel down.

A trick : you can watch series at Kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Archie Ronin definitely, have been using kaldrostream for years myself =)
What is all the brown smoke coming out from your mouth and nose? I can't see any cigarette...
Are you a dragon?
The 38 Turks are small ring, surplus 6.5x55 Swedish barrelsa will fit on the 38 Turks.
