Another caliber question

9.3x62.....India the 275...

Plus one on that.

Perhaps I misunderstood. I thought you were only going to have another Mauser bolt action or two built (one for Europe and maybe another for India) to match up with the other two Mausers. As in a four rifle set.

Well that was the idea when I posted the thread originally. I still think it would be the most appropriate.

I bet every time you look at that picture you smile.

I like the pith helmet.

Indeed, and moreso while holding the MS.

I like the pith helmet.

It sadly decayed over the decades, as did the cat's hide which had never been properly cured.

I have the leopard's claws and cased M1910 TD.

If you read through this thread, you'll find all the info I have found out about it. Meanwhile I'm busy making more history with it

One more vote for the 6.5x55 Mauser cartridge.
