donmarkey Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Kind of quite here so here's one I resently did some upgrades on. New sights, safety, scope and mounts, reworked guard, etc. Should be a nice little deer gun. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzRednek Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 WAY TO GO!!! "Should be a nice little deer gun" is an understatement!! Bet its a boomer like 45/70, 444 Marlin or some monster rimmed wildcat. A usual, every time I see a photo of one of your projects I become envious of your skills.

donmarkey Posted November 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 45-70. Was going to open it up to 45-90, but my friend changed his mind. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 For what its worth. Years ago out of seven Elk hunters, myself included. The only one that got an Elk was a lawyer from Los Angeles using a 45/70 Siamese Mauser. I'll never forget the lucky guy. He wiped me and everybody else out playing poker.<br /><br /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmarkey Posted November 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I don't know the details but I guess he can use straight walled cartridges to deer hunt at his property. Where normally would be shotgun only. So hence deer rifle. Where I hunt we can use just about any rifle so I just use my little 06 or my win88 for walking.

Any center fire ammo with an expanding or soft tip bullet good for all big game except Bison. FMJ and tracer bullets are prohibited. Bison requires a bullet weight, any caliber of 220 grs or more. There was an effort a few years ago to allow shotguns shooting buckshot for Javalina but as far as I know the regs were never changed. Varmints, pests or any non flying, non regulated or endangered animal. A licensed hunter can use anything from 22 short, sling-shot, air gun or even Falconry. There are some no-lead either bullet or bird shot areas in Arizona. Near the Colorado River by the California / Arizona border. From what I was told, the no lead areas were established by the feds. Guess if somebody wanted to use 30 Carbine or a rifle shooting a handgun cartridge on big game. It would be legal but foolish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powdr Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Done what are the dimples on either side of the action opening? powdr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gun nutty Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Done what are the dimples on either side of the action opening? powdr The Siamese action had a breech port (ejection port) cover. In its rear-most position, it covered the ejection port; it slid forward to allow ejection. I'm betting those dimples served as stops for a matched "nub" on the cover's underside. You can see the dust cover in this video: http://www.forgottenweapons.com/type-45-siamese-mauser/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
