It’s pretty awesome to pull a Niedner buttplate off and find this stamped into the wood.

True, but not showing the rest of the gun is borderline criminal. Now, out with it. With luck, this is a falling block gun.

Here’s one of the auction pictures. I’ll get some pictures of it and the Brownell rifle here in a bit.

Shelhamer stocked GEW98 in 220 imp swift. Was in the Huntington store museum in California.

Looks to possibly be a recycled older custom rifle. Going off the number below his stamp this was the 60th stock he finished after leaving Niedner, probably dating it to around 1950.

Looks nice.
