Berthier Mle 1907-16 Rifle - 8mm Lebel

I also guess that Greek raider's carbine is a Turkish Mauser M1905 Carbine. Greg-Z (talk) 14:35, 19 March 2015 (EDT)

I think the barrel is too short on the Turkish Mauser carbine. Bolt handle also looks different. Dudester32 (talk) 14:50, 19 March 2015 (EDT)

Correction, the exposed part of the barrel is too short. Dudester32 (talk) 14:51, 19 March 2015 (EDT)

Another guess is a Spanish Mauser M1895 Carbine. Greg-Z (talk) 14:59, 19 March 2015 (EDT)

Agreed! Dudester32 (talk) 15:05, 19 March 2015 (EDT)

Hold it! I think I've found it. It's a Turkish Berthier Carbine.Dudester32 (talk) 15:18, 19 March 2015 (EDT)

It seems some variants have a straight bolt and covered barrel while others have bent bolt and uncovered barrels.Dudester32 (talk) 15:23, 19 March 2015 (EDT)

I just noticed the Turkish version does not have a portruding magazine unlike the original Berthier.

Can we get a poster for this? --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:45, 19 March 2015 (EDT)

"Other bolt action rifles"

Does anyone have a clue yet as to what rifle is shown in the third screenscap of the "Other bolt action rifles category"? Dudester32 (talk) 08:54, 20 March 2015 (EDT)

This rifle bears resemblance with various Mannlicher model but it lacks its typical magazine. So my guess is Greece Mannlicher-Schoenauer M1903/14 (like the one at the bottom). Greg-Z (talk) 13:22, 20 March 2015 (EDT)

The Commonwealth troops in Istanbul carries mockup Mk.III's. They are easily spotted due to the bolt handle being too far forward and the generally bulky appearence of the weapon.
