Siamese Mauser Type 66 Bolt Action Rifle - 8 x 50R with Dust Cover

This really nice unit is in 8/10 condition and wood is as one would expect from a
military issued rifle of this age - some dings and scratches but sound all over.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE LISTED AMMUNITION AND DIES UNDER LOT#
619 for the Dies and 707 / 708 for the Ammo..

The really nice thing is markings (in Thai) are clear and the dust jacket ober breech
is in place...
Rifle operate very smoothly and is a tack driver according to owner.

An excellant collectable Rifle.

Type 66 rifle
The Siamese Type 66 rifle is an export model of the Japanese Type 38 rifle ordered
in 1923 and built in the Koishikawa Arsenal. Delivery was delayed until 1928-29
due to catastrophic damage to Tokyo from the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake.
Although a Type 38 in appearance and function, very few of the Type 66 parts are
interchangeable with the Japanese rifle.
Although not strictly a Mauser rifle, the Arisaka receiver is a modified Gewehr 98
action that borrows heavily from the Mauser design.
