Greetings to all the fine blackpower shooters and collectors.
I was very lucky a few years ago to find my first Kassepipe. And now, I have found another! Perhaps you kind gentleman can comment on? Of course it is no longer in original condition. But except for a very poor restocking job with a US 1903 stock and lots of plastic wood it seems to be with a Norwegian Grindreng lock, so I think I am lucky
"Grindereng/Grindreng" is mentioned on page 55 of this book: "Norwegian gunsmiths from 1575 - 1900".

I also did a search for "P Aarnes", but could find no match in the above mentioned book...
Thank you Cap'n Redneck,
Although you are correct I can not see it...

And I see there are a few posts for P.Aarnes also. ;D
Hi.
I have a rifle from P.Aarnes. https://forum.svartkrutt.net/index.php?topic=18550.msg18550#msg18550 (https://forum.svartkrutt.net/index.php?topic=18550.msg18550#msg18550)
Nice :)
I bought this Grindreng barrel from the USA a couple years ago. Looks like it is the same smith as the one who made the lock on your.
