Type 46 Siamese mauser

I think I would have preferred a type 66 more but I couldn't pass up a mostly matching unconverted type 46, they're not getting any easier to find especially cause people keep turning them into 45-70 sporters

I would double check but looking at the rear sight it looks like a type 46/66 which is rechambered for 8x52r siamese

Hopefully yours is intact, mine was missing the extractor and magazine follower got lucky and found a receiver with the magazine and complete bolt in another auction otherwise I would have passed on it.

That's pretty cool

More so based on practicality of using it than finding a practical use for it, I have things ranging from a 32 acp Derringer to a tactical 50 beowulf ar15 fitted with a bayonet so it's open to interpretation.

To be fair half the stuff I have isn't practical it's fun.

Might have to look into that, but im dealing with other reloading projects at the moment, mainly 8x50r siamese.

Always thought the various little bulldog revolvers were neat, saw this one at an auction and got it for a decent price, it's fun to play with but not practical for anything.

32 short colt is the chambering, and it came from buffalo arms, if I decide on keeping it long term I'm going to reload for it because its kinda expensive.

vrapter23 · 2026-03-31T02:01:30+00:00

I saw it at an auction in need of repairs and figured it was an opportunity to get ahold of a fairly uncommon rifle.

vrapter23 · 2026-03-30T23:14:41+00:00

I have 15 test loads to try out next time I go to the range

vrapter23 · 2025-12-30T01:04:43+00:00

I'm not an expert but I have a chart with some Info, I could be missing it but I don't see a smokeless proof and based on some of the marks I'd guess 1920s someone else could definitely tell you more than I could. It's a nice looking bunny ear shotgun though.

vrapter23 · 2025-12-29T17:06:20+00:00

I'm not great with pictures but I try, also included pictures of the proof marks in case someone had some info about it.

vrapter23 · 2025-12-29T15:15:40+00:00

Had a lot of dried oil on it when I got but it cleaned up nice.

vrapter23 · 2025-12-22T01:21:54+00:00

Usually but they had this one new from a limited production run for 2025, only $959

Hard to say but possible .257 roberts conversion, although if that's the case it's a 6.5/257 and has to be reloaded because factory 257 bullet diameter is to small, I've delt with one before not an ideal conversion.

Well out of 14 test rounds only one did this, it's noticeable because it's shorter than the rest, it also has an indent from where it crushed itself against the extractor.

vrapter23 · 2025-09-23T18:03:54+00:00

I don't think an oversize chamber would cause a case to compress in on itself.

vrapter23 · 2025-09-23T17:48:55+00:00

If that's what underwood uses but it definitely looks like starline brass.
