The Type 45 Siamese Mauser was a service rifle adopted by the government of Siam (now Thailand) in 1903. It was a bolt-action rifle based on the Mauser action originally chambered for the 8×50mmR rimmed centrefire cartridge (not to be confused with the dimensionally similar Austrian 8×50mmR Mannlicher or French 8×50mmR Lebel cartridges).
