Neat posting, hammer! That rifle looks like a rifle should, the shop looks like a gunshop oughta, and the Mercedes looks like a car, not a toaster oven. I'm also a great fan of the .22 WRM, one of the best things that happened in 1959 (Take me back!).
I visited a shop there many years ago while cruising Rte. 22 on my way to Rutland; wonder if it was his. As I recall, it was too near supper time for the owner to spend much time with me, although I did buy a set of Lyman 310 dies from him (for a song--who wants those old things anyhow....). When did Hauck leave VT? I don't think that proprietor was him; it would have been in 1987.
