Turkish Forrestry Carbine
made from a Brethier - Mauser carbine front sight
has been used and

During the thirties Turkey started a rebuilding program on their rifles at Ankara. All rifles were rebuilt to the configueration of the M1893 with M93 front sight, bayonet lug and lower barrel band. These guns are refered to as M38's but I do not understand the model designation as the rebuilding started before that as seen with some of the guns below.
