Steve,
I looked through my stuff and have the Fisher flier "When Less Is More" that you took the pictures for. If needed I could scan and post on the new thread.
The Newton floor plate drops down, you then unscrew that screw and the barrel and action lift up at the back out of a hook arraignment. It's a take-down thing without tools.

One of the more famous Linden rifles belonged to Townsend Whelen. This rifle turned up last month and was one of the last of his rifles I have an interest in that I did not know the whereabouts of.

MP, describe "Turned up". Thank you. I got an email with pictures from an individual asking me if I could identify the maker of the rifle. I could and I did.

I’d like to expand on this a bit. I am contacted by mail, phone and email by folks who are trying to identify the maker of a classic custom rifle. There is nothing more rewarding than to be able to connect the maker with a rifle. I charge nothing for this service but do benefit in learning about new and wonderful things. I do not withhold any information and if the rifle belonged to a well-known person I pass that along as well. I do this for whoever ask, even dealers. I do not offer to buy the rifle with the exception of rifles that are for sale when the buyer cannot make up his mind if he should buy it or not. In cases like this I tell them if you buy the rifle on my advice and don’t like it I will buy it from you, normally for more than they paid for it. Sometimes that all it takes for the buyer to realize that it might be a good deal.

A good many years ago before I got into Krag sporters an Alvin Linden Krag still as I recall with the 30" barrel was advertised in Shotgun News. Wonder where it is now and hope the barrel has not been shortened.

With thanks to Townsend Whelen Bowling I am able to share this picture with you of the Linden rifle. From the back of the photo "Birchie in front of Cabin. Jackman, Me 1934".
