I have a sporterized 1917 Danzig Gewehr 98M. Just wondering if a Turkish large ring 29in barrel is the same profile as a gew 98 barrel?
 
It would probably depend on what model rifle the Turk barrel came from. The Turkish 1903 was a large ring receiver, but a small diameter barrel shank, thus not a match for the Gew 98 large receiver, large shank barrel. There is quite a hodgepodge of possibilities with Turkish Mausers!
 
The barrel I have is large shank. I ordered it from Numrich. They had it listed has a Czech 98/22 barrel, but it only has Turkish marking on it. When I just placed to barrel in the stock the barrel step seems to be in a different place.
 
The Turkish and Czech barrels are setup for the long handguard so its possible the step in the barrel to accommodate it could be in a different location
