Help with value? Turkish 8mm Mauser

Thank you!

That was way more trouble than I expected it to be.

Moral of the story....if you're making a post, and get a "Bad Gateway" message, don't keep clicking trying to get past the bad gateway, or you come off looking like an idiot.
 
Looks to be a small ring 93 based Mauser, not the more preferred 98 Mauser. Depending on condition and matching parts, it could be valued anywhere from $250 - $375, depending on the buyer.
 
These mausers used to have a magazine cutoff and are build on small ring actions. In the 1930s Turkey created a program to modernize all their rifles by rechambering them in 8mm mauser and giving them all stocks with semi pistol grips. In this process, the original 1893 rifles often got replacement stocks(original stocks have a straight grip), new sights, had the magazine cutoff removed, as well as new 8x57 barrels installed.
