hey i'm a newby, just joined yesterday 'cause i bought a half stock with S. Mier on the barrel. so i googled Sam Mier, and up you folks came. and i clearly am the proud new owner of a Sam Mier half stock. it is stunning how closely mine matches those you have posted in your archive. (especially the one picture set over the chair arms) same false tigermaple, same signature. and it shoots really well!!! which i find particularly interesting as it doesn't visually have a great bore. i guess old sammy just got it right. it has a lot of punch markings near the sights, same signature, (the S is slightly different), commode patch box, double sets, etc and with a "leman" lock stamped "lancstr pa. so where is there more info on him and how does one use your site? i feel a little cyberdeficient....chuckles2011 i'll get pics up if some one replies and tells me how to do that...great link!!! my first signed bp firearm...!!!!!
