THE DIFFER.ENCE OF THE MODELS
Appearance (outlook): Yavuz 16
pistals ore different in point af
appearance. BORA and BORA LlGHT;
TU~RA and MC T 40; MC 23 and MC
23.45 models hove the same
appearance.
Other models' appearances ore
different. MC 21, MC 23 and MC
23.45 models hove been designed
speciolly for installing laser pointer to
the body. A special device is needed far
installing laser pointer to the other
models ofYavuz 16.
MC 23 and MC 23.45 pistol's
faresight's ore spacial designed and it is
called swallow-tail technically. Other
models foresight's ore fixed to the slide.
Magazine: MC T 40 and MC 23.45
model's magazines are not compatible
and their magazines also different from
23 ond MC 23.45 models. This adion
consist of the barrel movement

23 and MC 23.45 models the action of
the mechanism is provided by both
barrel looking component and slide.
This adion consists the movement of
the barrel back and forth, and upward
anddown.

an indicator which shows, if the
chamber is loaded or not!

PERATION PRINCIPLES
Yavuz 16 pistols ore semi-autamatic
firearms operating on the short recoil
prlnciple and using a falling block
locking system. Upon firing, the
pressure developed by combustíon gos
in the chamber recoíls the slido and
barrel assembly together in a shart
distance. After o short run of slíde-
barrel assembly, the locking block falls
and releases the slide letting it recoil
while the barrel stops against frame.
Period of its rearward movement, the
slide extracts and ejeds the fired
cortridge case, cocks the hammer and
compress the recoil spring. With the
force of recoil spring tense, the slide
then moves forward feeding the next
cartridge from the magazine into the
chamber and causing barrel-slide
locking. The slide stays open after the
lastcartridge in the magazine has been
Be sure Ihat the chomber is empty
and the barrel is free from dirt and
obstrudions (PICTURE2). If you do not
intend to fire, keep your fingers off the
trigger. Check the loaded chamber
indicator (PICTURE3) if it is loaded or
unloaded. MC 21, MC 23 and MC
23.45 Models don't hove chamber
'oaded indicator.

ASSEMBLlNG
Assemble the pistol following the
disassembling procedure in reverse
order. It is odvisoble to poy attention to
following points.
Set safety / decocking lever on sofe
(PICTURE 1). The slide should rest
perfedly flush against barrel and the
ejedor must settle in its groove in the
barrel. The borrel locking block lugs
should rest in their housing and the
barrel locking block plunger should
protrude from the barrel. The recoil
spring guide head should lodge in the
center of its groove in the locking block.
When rotating disossembling latch, the
slide should be in closed and locked
positian.
HOW TO REVERSE THE
MAGAZINE RELEASE BUTTON FOR
lEFT HANDED SHOOTERS
This operation must be done by a
gunsmith. Unscrew ond remove grips
with a suitable screwdriver (PICTURE
29). Press the back of the magozine
release button (PICTURE30) down from
flat side and owoy. The magozine
release bulton assembly will then drop
out. Reverse magazine releose button
assembly and insert the bulton from
grooved side in position tilting it
slightly. Holding the button from
grooved side of magazine, releose
assembly firmly in place, press its flat
side and push it until it clicks into place.
(PICTURE 31) The operation is done
correctly when the magazine slides
easily into its housing. Replace grips
with screws.
ADVANTAGE ANO THE SUPERIOR
FEATURES OF YAVUZ 16 PISTOlS
Because of YAVUZ 16
semiautomatic pistols designed for
especially armed forces and police
requirements, YAVUZ 16 Compad
pistols hove a lot of superiorfeatures.
BARREL lOCKING SYSTEM;
Barrel locki ng system provides long
barrel life and high accuracy at
shooting. AII models have Barrel
locking system except MC 21 , MC 23 ve
MC 23.45 models.
DOUBlE ACTION;
When the hammer is in the lowered
position, pulling the trigger will f1rst
cock the hammer completely and then
release it to strike the f1ring pin This is
described as double actian trigger
system and gives advantages of a
revolver to the pistol
MAGAZINE;
YAVUZ 16 pistols, except MC T 40 ve
MC 23.45 hove the double line
staggered magazine which has 15
rounds capacities. These magazines
hove almost 2 times greoter capacity
than common single line magazines at
same length.
SAFETY SYSTEM;
Safety/decocklng lever allows
sofe hammer lowering over a
chambered round. Selting safety lever
on safe position prevents the hammer
striking on the firing pino Also,
disconnects the linkage between the
trigger and the sear.
Automatic flrlng pln block
prevents forward movement of the
firing pin unless the trigger
completely pulled.
Chambe;' 'oaded Indlcator
indicates the state of the chamber.
When a round is chambered, the
extrador head protrudes further from
the slide breech and exposes a red
warning tab. In the dark, protrusion can
also be felt by touch. This makes
unnecessary to pull back the slide to
verify if chamber is loaded. MC 21, MC
23 ond MC 23.45 models don't hove
chamber loaded Indicator.
EASY DISASSEMBLlNG,
Disassembling system is designed
for a quick and easy field stripping and
to ovoid casual or involuntary
d isassembly.
USAGE FEATURES;
Slide stop latch locks the slide at the
rear after last rounds in the magazine is
fired. This position informs the
magazine and the chamber is empty.
Ambidextrous safety lever allows easy
and quick actions for left handed
shooters, too. Sight dimensions
selected for swift target acquisition
allows easier and quick aiming.
Grooved frome design provides good
handling in special conditions like
handling with wet hands, rapid
successive f1res etc. Magazine release
bulton can be revorsed for left handed
shooters at the YAVUZ 16 semi-
is automotic pistols. Checkered grips
provide beltor holding ond aiming.
