Show the metal finish inside the action. My experience says it will look like a fine watch. It's American counterpart almost looks like castings, crude!

Absolutely incredible! Shame the head couldn't be saved and a butt grafted on. Thanks for sharing.

Once, bell bottom pants were in vogue. This stock is so different, but I wonder how it would shoot. A Rational Stock with a Continental cheek piece. So well done that I love it.

And the bad thing about it is that we really have no idea of who performed their magic w/ the wood. But we are working to rectify that....

I restocked one last year ,it was everything Doug described ...I was very impressed at the inletting and scratched my head as to how to duplicate what the original guy had done ,the internals were also as described ...IMO very clean ,very precise and very robust .
as impressive a gun as I've ever seen

While the inletting is very nicely done, it is really no better than the inletting or finish work you’d see on a Sauer built in the same era. Seriously, people, especially here like to rave about Lindner/Daly’s being a holy grail of a gun, and compared to 98.9% of U.S. built shotguns of the same era, they are. I’ve seen enough Lindners, Sauers, and many other Teutonic guns broken down to the bits to know the quality in fit, finish both internally and externally were very similar between makers in regards to the guns grade. I’ve NEVER seen a pre war Teutonic guns internals that weren’t polished up and made to look like a “fine watch”.

The reason for the similarities is that Lindner was working on the upper rung offerings in a satellite shop @ Sauer while his apprentices were putting the finishing touches on the lower rung offerings @ his house/shop.

There are two Charles Daly take off stocks on EBay which look to be exactly like this one in inletting. Sure there are minor differences but the level of skill needed to make them is plain for all to see.

Polishing the internals greatly increases resistance to rusting. I don't know why anyone would think whoever wrote "The Gun and it's Development" might know something about guns and shooting.

I think I have seen that gun before. If the stock is original to the gun, I would never consider restocking it. I once sold a Lindner to Doug Mann that was possibly the worst example of stockmaking I have ever seen. Now that was a gun that begged to be restocked, and Doug did restock that one.
