Lots of examples of not only Lindens, but many other period makers work in it. The Springfield 06 and the 1922 Hornet pictured in it are in my collection. If you do some digging there should be a post on this forum with some pictures of the Hornet. John Hello gasgunner I've taken a few detailed pictures of some of the features of my Linden. Have you seen features like these before? How to Hunt Wisconsin Whitetail Deer with a Cannon

It would be interesting to look thru the ads in the Late 1930�s American Rifleman and see if there�s anything that matches. Anyone stuck at home with a bunch of old rifle magazines?

It was checkered like the one in photo without the design, I am thinking that the design was added by matting. I have one in my parts stash and will look for it and post photos. I learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what I learned the day before was wrong

The AB on the underside of the buttplate would seem to make it more likely. I think these were available from the late 40s until maybe 5 or 6 years ago. The were made by Al's son the last several years. Last edited by rocky mtn bill; 03/24/20 03:44 PM. Bill Ferguson
