Yes, it was sometime about 1997 when he sent me a page from a newspaper he had made up, reporting on my death, his hand in it, and how our local police dismissed the case because they agreed with the "Mad Russian" that I had it coming. At the time, I had an Adolph-Springfield, and from time to time, I would send Alaska-bound a picture of it captioned "did you know I had this?". I knew he wanted it, and it was just our natures to screw with one another in a friendly way. Maybe I did have it coming.
Anyway, I retaliated and made up my own newspaper and sat still for the local "reporters" interview after he'd witnessed my resurrection and out on the lookout for the Mad Russian. Anyway, we both got a kick out of it. I suppose I could recall some lesser stuff - and I may.

Well, I am sipping some whiskey, raising a glass to Michael Chris Petrov. I had a good day, I did some gun work that I would have been happy to share with Michael, I supervised my kids as they practiced with a bb gun gifted by a member of this forum.


Thank you all for your contributions, I especially enjoyed Joe's story and loved seeing pictures of Michael's gun room and Krag 1902's story of Michael and his pranks. I hope this thread continues.

My friends Zischang sporting rifle in .25-35, if you look close you can see the safety in front of the trigger guard. When Niedner did DST on a Borchardt sporting rifle he made a cocking knob instead of a safety.

It's Mr. Niedner's Ballard and the stock was done by Tom Shelhamer.

This is the first group I fired, in the rain, when my late friend John Will made me a mould for my birthday.

The first five shots were not much bigger than a bullet diameter and I started breechloading another bullets and John who was watching through a spotting scope said for me to stop so I would not ruin what was sure the smallest five-shot group I every fired, I said "Hell it has to be ten" ;-).
Regards,

Michael

And enough for now I might add some more later for everyone to continue to enjoy.

Dr. Bakers .25-HP Niedner

The cocking piece is Niedners way of having a safety on a sporting rifle when he installed DST's and removed the Borchardt safety.

Zischang made a safety for the front of the trigger guard when he installed DST's on a sporting or hunting type rifle. Attached picture is a friends Zischang .25-35 sporting rifle with a safety.

Regards,

Michael
