[QUOTE="Doc Mach, post: 3006835, member: 79577"] It appears to be a Small Ring M 96-style Mauser from what I can see in the pictures you sent. These have one less locking lug than the M 98 Mauser rifles (two versus threes). They make excellent rifles for small to medium calibers, and I've seen some "maxed out"...I've never seen one in 45-70 Gov't until now. Based on the stamping I see on the RH of the receiver, it may in fact be a Siamese Mauser...I'd work up a load carefully and see how she shoots. [/QUOTE]
