Agreed.  Do Not Shoot it!  There must have been a lot of old Turkish soldiers, border guards, police, forestry workers, mailmen, telephone linemen, etc., carrying, dragging & dropping their old bolt-action and single shot rifles & carbines across some rough terrain in Turkey.  Be they 1890, 95 or 98 Mausers, the old Martinis or other BP guns, or French, Russian or Greek rifles, all are beat up & battered & generally horrible when they leave Turkish hands.
