Balikli Arms was founded in 2004 in Uzumlu, a long-established Turkish gunmaking centre, and says it is the only Turkish maker of combination over-and-under rifled hunting shotguns and .300 calibre bolt-action rifled shotguns. Its BLK bolt-action rifle is built on an M700-pattern push-feed action, so it takes aftermarket parts made for the Remington 700, and is chambered in .308 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield. The rifle has a Turkish walnut stock, a detachable magazine, a fluted bolt, a fluted and threaded 20-inch barrel and a trigger with user-adjustable pull weight. European American Armory imports it into the United States.
