Lindner used Sauer actions. Many companies used that model Sauer action.

Perhaps the question might be who besides Charles Daly did Lindner make guns for?
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

I’ve been told that not only did he use Sauer actions Sauer had him work on some of their higher grade guns. Either it was done as a outside contractor or in stead of paying for the rough actions. A high grade Sauer is a very nice double indeed. I made the mistake of passing on one 30 years ago and still regret my mistake.

Who knows with absolute certainty that any of that is true, but just knowing how ginormous the Sauer works was, the money they had, I tend to think they themselves had all of the talent necessary, to produce every gun marked as a Sauer totally and completely “in house”. They had no need at all to use outworkers, there was plenty of in house talent to rival any gunmaker in Germany at the time. Sauer was Germany’s version of W&C Scott.

The Sauer I failed to buy was a 12 ga, Sauer which I am sure was a pre WWI gun with some of the finest metal and wood on it I have seen on any Sauer of that period. The fore end was much greater than a splinter but not a full beaver tail. It was just comfortable in the hand. The checker was very fine, I expect it was finer than 24 lines per inch. The seller claimed it was 28 or 30. The skill to cut that fine a job is beyond anything I'd ask anyone to do. Metal was engraved but not overly so and not it the deep Germanic style you often see. It was just a finely proportioned gun which I should have bought. One of many.

Cheers, Raimey rse That Larry B Shucknecht is a good guy. "The Dutchman" is a pretty good stock maker and gunsmith too. He's stocked two guns for me and the work on both was very good. Thanks Ellenbr for posting the link to the Lindner article archive, pretty much everything one would care to know about Lindner guns is in there.
