After speaking with David, I think the part of the story that I enjoy most is that the previous owner hunted with this gun steadily for many, many years. (And I'm not talking preserve hunts or sunshine days in the dove field, but chasing chukars in rugged terrain in Idaho.) David intends to do the same - good for him! I think Lindner would be pleased to know his gun was in the field and doing what it was designed to do 100+ years after it left his shop.

Enjoy your gun,
Ken
