I have to finish fitting scope mounts and then take it to the range. I have wanted one ever since reading about them many years ago. Dad has 1 (or 2? dim memory says he bought a second) in .45-70 and Bro' Dan has one in .444 Marlin. They sure are fun to shoot.
Funny story...I bought a box o' Mauser parts off GunBroker a while back. It had a Timney trigger needed for another project and the whole works was selling for about what the trigger would cost. In the box, was some lower metal which I knew to be Siamese along with a sporterized bolt and some other goodies. The bolt was comfirmed to be Siamese as well after arrival. (Trivia: they are NOT interchangeable with a standard '98.) The very next week another auction came up for a Siamese action with no bolt! So now, a complete Siamese action sits in the shop waiting for attention. I have been reading a little and am leaning towards something based on the .348...either the parent cartridge itself or maybe a .50 Alaskan.
I need another project like a hole in the head but a fella has to plan for retirement now, doesn't he?
