I have several German guns I could put in it. I think it would be a good idea.

From the responses here, it would seems that there are a number of Jaeger Rifles that are are owned ALR  members. Would there be an interest in creating a library of photos and details?

There already is a heading for Jaegers in the Miller Library. "Ancestors of the American Long Rifle"

 I will add additional photos  (to the Bruce Miller Library) if there is interest. This Jaeger is on the high end of the decorative scale. It was used as a model for my NMLRA seminar a few years ago. It has a short barrel , 23 inches if I recall correctly. Several of the Freund Jaegers are in Erhard Wolfs book, this one is not. I have study casts and the molds for the mounts are licensed to MLBS.

Chris,

Hope you are not near all of the flooding we are hearing about.

Thanks for your concern Kent!
Fortunately I live in Northern Germany, far away from it.
I feel so sorry for the people who lost so much, it’s horrible what happened there.
Kind regards from Germany, Chris

Thank you Ron! This is a great topic, I love seeing all of these.

Thanks Chris_B for the pictures, especially the muzzle "shot" showing the filed out grooves and lands to allow loading
decent ball and patch combinations.
