It has been an incredible opportunity to help Michael's family with his firearms related items. This afternoon, I spent some time combing through the " Big Guy's " research files. It wasnt my first time in his file cabinets, but I took more time than usual and still left a few drawers unopened.

The amount of information stuffed in hanging file folders is overwhelming. It seems that Michael even had portions of A. O. Niedner's personal photo album. Before all these items find a permanent home at a museum, I thought I'd take the opportunity to share some of the photos.

Joe,

Thank you so very much for sharing these amazing photographs!

Hopefully they will continue the appreciation and legacy of all American gunsmiths well into the Future.

It is not mine but mine is not much different. Save for the recoil thru bolt and the rear sight on mine and the side mount on the one with Niedner, they are very similar. Mine is a 7x57 built on an Oberndorf Commercial Action.

Joe,

The pictures are great and appreciated. The bolt gun is nice, but I am enthralled looking at the single shot in the vice, the Trapdoor (?) on the shelf and the other actions around the area. I wonder what distance the target was shot that made it a "keeper"?
