Numbers
I am going to post pictures of serial numbers stamped into stocks of WRA mounted rifles and the series numbers stamped into the bases of the 150 rifles Niedner on which Niedner mounted scopes. These are both rarely encountered due to the rarity of the rifles themselves. Two collectors with Niedner rifles did not wish to dismount the scopes on their rifles to check for stamped numbers. I can understand their reluctance. It is also difficult to find these rifles with their original stocks. I post these pictures for no other reason but to show those who have never seen one that they do exist.
Note the screws on the Niedner rifles are not staked. Since the bases were soldered on, there was no need to stake the screws ? They are soldered in place. Enjoy
