That 'scope on the '03 certainly doesn't look like it'll be going anywhere soon! I've seen pics of that style front mount before,,was probably another Linden rifle or some other that copied the mounting.
Do you think Linden removed the striker knob also? Or did he have Emil Kolochak(sp?) do that type of metal work for him.
Great looking stock for sure.
I do like that Newton though!
I believe that Emil Koshollek made the buttplate and grip cap on this rife as well as modify the bolt and checker it. The rifle is a 1903 National Match with a headless cocking piece and a reverse safety. They were built that way so the shooter was not hit in the nose while shooting prone.
