Unknown Mauser

[Larryjk]

Curiosity got me and I needed answers now. I googled Siamese Mausser Rifles and found all kinds of information. The main referral was the DeHass book on Bolt Action Rifles. It states the Siamese Mauser cocked on opening. YOu may have a rare variation since many of the actions were made in the Tokyo aresenal and their Type 38 Arisaka is a cock on closing. Apparently, there was a lot of variation in that rifle.
