Yes, as far as I recall.
Anyways, so I guess I'm looking for a 8mm rifle now as well. All honesty I'm not a Yugoslavian fan, so that rules out the Yugo Mauser. Also from what I'm told Turkish Mausers are not that great either. Here is the best 8mm list I can put together 8mm Mauser German (+$300) 8mm Mauser Egyptian ($250-300) 8mm Mauser Persian ($300) 8mm Mauser Siamese (?) 8mm Carcano ($250) Did I miss anything? Also, how horrid is this Turkish stuff? Will I lose an eye? Any other suggestions are great. Thanks for the help, Jack |

Just FYI, Carcanos are widely regarded as the worst standard issue rifle of the war.

The Ariska is basically a Mauser. In stress tests (hyper over max loaded ammo) the Ariska was the only gun the testers couldn't blow up. They took proof loads that grenaded Springfields, Mausers, M1917 Enfields, Mosins, etc. The "bad rep" that Japanese rifles have is because there were functional cast iron training rifles made that would accept live ammo....
