I saw this, this evening, on gunbroker it isn't mine, if it was, I wouldn't be selling it, but it is a lot of fun to look at Niedner 1903 in 250-3000

It looks like the rifle that Tom Shelhamer built for his wife Alice, but the monogram on the floorplate does not bear that out. Neat rifle that reflects all that I love about Niedner ingenuity. This rifle deserves some researching.

Indeed, very close to a Winchester 1885 schnable, which I consider the highest form of schnabledom (with a nod to Ballards for being a close runner up).
The seller certainly did a nice job of providing photos. I don't think I've ever seen so many, and providing all the critical details.

Very cool indeed.
Gary, what is the story behind Shelhamers wife's gun?

It is cool. And, it looks like it has the "unusual bolt treatment" that has/is being discussed in an earlier thread.

I can guess. An unwanted inheritance.

That is one very nice feral chicken rifle if ever there was one.
