doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion German & Austrian Sporting Guns @ doublegunshop.com Anyone familiar with this action on this Timner?

No worries Brad. Does the longarm wear any of the Röhmer & Company trademarks?

I have made a cursory search for Gebrauchsmuster Nr. 16378 but came up blank for the moment.


Serbus,

The patent drawing does not appear to show the "lever". I wish I could find a drawing and description of D.R.G.M. 16378.

No, I can't find any Röhmer marks on the gun, but the construction is very similar to pictures of other Röhmer guns.

Have you ever handled a drilling with the button/lever like this ellenbr?

Brad

I it well possible that I have handled one thru the years but I have not operated one for sure.

The probability that a drawing / sketch of Gebrauchsmuster Nr. 16378 exists approaches zero as those are more scarce than hen's teeth. But we might well stumble on the verbiage.

>>Schuss und Waffe<< lists many of the Gebrauchsmusters but now there are filters and copyright protections that prevent one from effectively searching. But you can enter the term >>Gebrauchsmuster<< and several do appear in snippet form.

Here are a couple of videos of the action:

Shifts about like an auto transmission?

Yes it does.

I still can't decide if it is missing parts or if the works like it is supposed to and the parts could have been used with a different variation that did reset automatically.

Brad

Were there some extra pieces of metal floating around when you disassembled it? Were the screw slots altered as if it has been opened prior? Unless the original custodian had it altered, I have serious reservations that it was modified after that? Everyone else would be scared to death of the action. I would say that triggers & other components were used from typical production, which may or may not have additional holes, notches.

Have you spoken w/ Larry Schuknecht the custodian of Dietrich Apel's >>German Hunting Guns<< website? If anyone would know he would.

Serbus,

No, no parts bouncing around, I am inclined to agree with you. I will try emailing Larry.

Thanks for all your help, it is appreciated!
