    Layers of history on that one — so many talented, special hands have touched that rifle.
    Really incredible.

    Link is dead apparently.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Must have been made for someone with an unusually long neck.

    Odd little cut-out on the stock line near the receiver ring. If no corresponding holes in the metal one should wonder what that's all about!
