Fun fact there is actually a Buddhist shrine dedicated to king chulalongkorn in the north of Sweden. He came to visit in 1897 and a hundred years later they built a shrine to honor him. Been there a few times and it is a beautiful place.

For anyone confused: The public schedule is now "locked in." There will be another full length episode in two weeks, and then two weeks after that, just like it has been for years. In one week the next trap episode drops like usual as well. I will say, the next big episode is going to be a special. It will be available "early" to Patrons next week.

Yep. She also knows where he sleeps, and where he keeps his ammo.

I once owned a type 38 carbine in 7.7 Japanese. It was in the 1940 Siamese Rifle test trials. It had several unique features----the only markings were the serial # and a small triangle on the chamber, The rear sight was on a curved ramp, the front sight was on a widened bridge with squared ears with a squared holes. the barrel had 3 smaller blocks to hold a type 30 Bayonet at the proper length for mounting. The butt stock had a Mauser style sling slot cut in it. I sold it to Fred Honeycutt any years ago . The last time I saw him he said he still had it and no he didn't want to sell it back to me. Bob Benson

"This rifle normally uses a stripper clip...So it's single loading for me" And that's the reason the Mauser style magazine is better (for the collector, 100 years later) than any using an en bloc clip

Years ago I had to take my Type 46 to a Thai restaurant to get them to translate the writing/markings on it. They were not only able to translate the rifle's serial number but they ID'd the other markings on it as well, incl. the crest. It was an 8x52r caliber which at the time I owned it could only be made from 7.62x54r brass and that meant about $65.00 a box (early '90's). The rifle shot 'decently' with that ammo, not well enough for me to keep it.

Fun fact that seems to have been deleted from contemporary history books: the original Siamese conjoined twins, Chang and Eng Bunker, got rich doing 'freak show' tours. They invested their wealth in a plantation and slaves in the Carolinas where they settled down, married, and had children. Their children fought in the Civil War on the side of the Confederacy.

You know the world is right when after firing the rifle, Mae gives that satisfied sigh/smile!

Its semi-official name was "รัตนโกสินทร์ ศักราศ ๑๒๑" (based on ร.ศ. ๑๒๑ mark) and It should be pronounced like "Rat-ta-na-kho-sin Sak-ka-raj Nueang Song Nueang" (if you pronounce Thai number as an individual number), which Othais managed to correctly pronounce the "รัตนโกสินทร์" part. PS: its official name according to Royal Thai Army (RTA) is "ปืนเล็กยาว แบบ 46", which can be translate to "long rifle, model 46", and number 46 came from a year it was adopted in Buddhist Era 2446 (1903). Also, its western name according to RTA is Siamese M1903.

See? This is why I love y'all so much. I had never even heard of this beautiful rifle before this video, and am now going down a rabbit hole of reading about the history of Siam/Thailand, 😂😂😂. Also, thanks to you guys, I bought a Vetterli M1870/87/15 along with my own copy of the book "The Italian Vetterli Rifle," and bought a Winchester 1907 when I went to the gun store to pick up a Gen4 Glock 20 10mm Automatic, 😂😂😂😂.

I've been a subscriber for 18 months and have come to enjoy learning about the military firearms of WW1. One of my favorite parts of each episode is when you both speak about the firearm and Mae's impression of it. Your playful banter makes me smile. An episode dealing with the problems and solutions reloading ammo for some of firearms would be interesting to me, nothing too technical just general information.

A bit of help with your pronounciation there. Ra-ta-na-ko-sin-sok nueng-roi-yi-sib-ed. I'll keep em coming as I watch through. All this might sound like nitpicking, but getting it right helps others along the line. 4:48 The reigning dynasty then and now is actually the Chakri dynasty, with Rattanakosinsok being the total reigning period of the dynasty. That type of year counting has almost completely fallen out of use in modern times. Current year is ร.ศ. 226. 30:27 Pronounced Bo-worn-det by locals, he later led a failed royalist rebellion in 1933 against the constitution monarchy in an attempt to return it to an absolute monarchy. In all honesty, there's been more coups here than I can keep track of over the years. Have fun with that. 46:18 The crest in the picture shown says แบบ๔๗/๖๖. The direct translation of แบบ is type, so that would be the Type 47/66. 46:49 Pronounced Plaak Pi-bun-song-kram.

Very cool and elegant rifles, underappreciated. I have one in the 8x52R chambering and like it a lot. Thanks for this wonderful video on these fascinating rifles!

That's wild that the deal was with Mitsui. Used to see their ships and containers at the port here all the time growing up. Also clever of Siam/Thailand to contract with Mauser for the design but have them manufactured in Japan to keep from drawing too much attention in Europe.

Both of info about the gun and extra Thai history are so valuable to hear. Thank you so much

Wow!! Finally!! Been waiting for a feature on the Siamese! Thanks!

I'm really happy you guys went into such detail with these rifles. There are very few good resources on these mausers.

I bought mine from an add in "Shotgun News" sometime in the 1970`s. No ffl required as ammunition was "not available". I`d of tracked down the Austrian round if I had known it would have worked!

Othais, thank you for doing your duty!

Budda's nips on that statue are bold indeed. They're nearly a big as a rivet from the ill fated titanic.

Gorgeous looking Mauser, almost as nice looking as the Persian model. Always wanted one, never had a chance to pick one up. Gun shows around here are terrible. Always the same vendors selling the same stuff (which never seems to sell anyway) at the same inflated prices.

"Tune in this week for the return of The All Mauser Channel!" Jk, love the show

My dad has one. He paid 15 dollars decades ago and had it converted to 30 40 Krag which was common to do back then since there weren't even reloading dies or components for the rifle at the time.

Thanks for the video.

YAAAY, new episode

WOW is best rifle , watching from Thailand .

one of the best programs on the inter weebs

This episode makes me want to go dig out my own Siamese Mauser to have a fresh look at it and perhaps make up some ammo for it.

Oh I see they started with a Mannlicher model and thats why the 8x 50 mm R cartridge. Ok that makes sense @32:55 Oooo ! that 8 x 50 sounds very satisfying as it goes boom

That's a beautiful and practical mud cover (for out of combat mud protection), wonder why no other major power picked up on it.

This gun looks slick.
