The rifle is still in the shop owners collection. It's a Win HiWall scheutzen 25 caliber wildcat, I think 25-35 improved. I read that he stole Harry Pope's secrets of rifling, and Harry never spoke to him again. I seem to recall, my family didn't think Arthur was a nice guy. I never thought I'd see another Hubalek rifle.
PS:Did you ever find somebody to restore your rifle stocks?
