I have several M1890 Turk original Rifles, but no Carbines (Unknown if any were made).so my original Turk action will grace a "Replica" M1890 Carbine, in correct calibre.sights I don't know, probably the same as the Argy M91 Carbine?ĭoc AVThat's a bummer about 8mm you are correct in 7.92 x 57JS, I hand load for my K98 with 200g noslers running around 2650FPS it would be convent but those are max loads also. I have a Turk M1890 action, and after some 20 years, picked up an FN 7,65 Carbine Barrel (Commercial) which will thread up beautifully into the small shank reciever. Keep to the original 45,000 CUP levels of the original 7,65mm Round Nose load. The M1890 and M1891 action is definitely NOT suitable for "8mm" whatever that may be (ie, 7,9x57 ). Whilst the Turks did convert some of their M1890 Mausers to 7,9mm in 1929, they did not last very long.hardly any have come to either the US or Aus.
