Gun Show " Toy "

[Ben]

Just got back from the Tulsa, OK Gun Show.
A great show ! !
I bought a Siamese 98 Mauser , 45/70.

Here are photos :

This photo will give you an idea of the overall length :

That should be a whole heap of fun. I bet it goes deer hunting pretty soon.

 

[Rick]

Nice, is it going to be wearing a great piece of Ben's wood soon?

I think that would be a safe bet !

I've already thought about it.

Thanks Rick,

I didn't expect the stock as is, and wondered the same. Nice score, Ben.

A VERY VERY small portion of the show :

 

[David Reiss]

It's ugly, but I like it. Great find!

 

[Chris]

Those things don't grow on trees in good condition. Nice find, I bet you make something of it.

I would have had to walk away with that one too.
I never see things like that around here unless someone else just bought it just before i got there lol.

Nice find.

 

[Ben]

I hardly ever see one anymore.
The gentleman that I bought it from shot wild hogs with it in Arkansas.
Guaranteed three shots in a clover-leaf with Win. Factory loads, 300 gr. at 100 yards off the bench.

Gun has a Timney adjustable trigger. Nice, clean, crisp trigger pull.
He said that it fed from the magazine flawlessly.

[Chris]

Dang!

 

[35 shooter]

I'm betting it will do exactly what the man said it would do too.
I'd be like a kid with his first BB gun with that one Ben.
If it feeds as slick as he said it would, i'd be at the range everyday for quite a while.

WITH CAST BULLETS !!!!!!!!

Yes,
Ben

 

[Ben]

I'll be shooting some of these in my new rifle :

 

[Brad]

This and 24 gr of 2400. Should give 1300 fps or so and shoot well. Recoil will be manageable too.

 

[Ben]

I also have the Gould HP :

Yes, that bullet may be on my Christmas Wish List...............

I watched the video.
didn't see anything there I needed.

and it was Ian that run amok on your other thread.

I have a very similar bullet in a Lee 6 cav mould. Talk about drain a pot.
That bullet shoots well enough that all my other 45-70 moulds sit unused. Actually, not true. Paul keeps my Gould HP busy.
