i think based on siamese mauser due to marking on it but can't confirm 100% though
Welcome aboard, as the showgirl said to the Archbishop...
Awsome, definitely a Mauser. I don't know which one (not that I know much about Mauser rifles).
Welcome
Bolt looks kind of similar to my Parker hale .270
Kia ora, looks like a Siamese Mauser to me. Very cool
Welcome

EXCELLENT choice to begin your forum life! I too am a convert. I'm currently down this rabbit hole because A: its cheap and B: its hilarious fun shooting these.
Tried fmj, jacketed SP/HP, monolithic, cast lead hollow base and flat based. It shoots them all well.
Today's discovery....K&M make a freakin' 45cal mandrel. So there's an alternative to the Lee saxophone bell-end maker dies. Might work, then again it might buckle completely sideways when seating.
