Canvasback, this work of Claudios is phenomenal. As is your participation in the restoration, agreeing and paying the price. Please keep the updates coming!

Kind words Joe, thank you on behalf of Claudio and myself. I know we are enjoying our parts in it and both of us are gratified there has been such an enthusiastic reception here.

Canvasback, I am eagerly awaiting each daily update on my friend Claudio's work. I can see Claudio, arising from bed in the morning, rereading the story about the "message to Garcia" before taking that first file stroke. I'm just glad that all of my Lindners are extractor guns. Bill Murphy in MD.

Thanks Bill. That gave me a chuckle. I know what you mean about extractors! LOL. And when hunting, I prefer extractors. Oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound.
Your friend John is encouraging me to find my way to Maryland so he can show me some of his Lindners.....encouragement I'm taking to heart. With any luck we may have a chance to meet.

Such a great thread. I got to meet Claudio last year and was blown away with his work. I also very much appreciated his choice of hunting dog.
James, I hope to see this gun in person one day and look forward to shaking both your hands in congratulations.

I have really enjoyed this post. Thanks to all and for all of the good pictures.
I am surprised at all of the things, metal things, wrong with the gun. The almost universal opinion is that these guns are built to the highest standards.

James, you and Claudio should come down to Maryland together. Jon and I live about fifteen minutes apart and we can all get together with the "Official Custodian" of the Bill Wise files, who lives fairly close in Virginia. It's been a few years since we had a Lindner show and tell. The National Firearms Museum is about forty minutes away from my home, closer to Jon's home. The Robert Petersen Collection is worth the visit. Bill Murphy

When you say "wrong with it" are you referring to problems developed from wear and abuse over time or as originally built?
