Nice Job on the Siamese. Who is the master gunsmith?

Also here is a picture I found of one of the PME A-301 Siamese safeties next to the original shroud with the vertical broach.

What do you think about the 338 Marlin Express in a Siamese Mauser, or better yet neck it up to 35 cal?

Navy Arms imported these for a couple years back in the eighties. Nice Walnut stock, 26" barrel, in 45-70. We rechambered mine to 45-90. Since the original caliber is an 8mm based loosely on the 45-70, they fed well. You can get close to 458 WM velocites, but 1800fps with the 500gr cast GC bullets kicks just like the WM.

nice rifles in the pictures...

Ray, still haven't fired that 375 I bought from you a couple years ago. That was a very fruitful trip.
