Has anyone heard of a stockmaker named Martin Hagn?

There is a rifle supposedly crafted by him on gunbroker- I really like the styling- slim short forend, open grip, well maybe the cheekpiece could be refined... Looks great on that Pre War 70...

Would any of you stockmakers know where I could get an identical pattern???

I would try the Great American Stock Exchange [or is is Great American Gunstocks?] in California. I think the proprietor's name is Henry Pohl. I believe he has a good selection of european and classic type patterns. I believe they are on the internet. They are situated in California, greater Sacramento area I believe.

That's Hagn of the famous Hagn single shot actions. Ralf Martini is the other half of the company. Both are VERY high on the scale of custom gunmakers.

Let's take an inventory.......the three digit pre-war M-70 barreled action is worth at least $800 . The stock blank would now cost you at least $1200.......labor is worth more than $1500. I think the best way to get that pattern is to buy that rifle. It's an absolute steal.

Heres a Martini-Hagn single shot with false side-plates, ready for the engraver. <Reno 2002>

That particular rifle is a bargain at $3500.

I must admit, I was tempted to just buy it... It's very close to what I want.

Ahhh. Champaign taste, Budweiser budget- the story of my life...

Another Hagn photo.

When I was living in The Cranbrook, B.C. (Canada) area, there was a gunmaker named Jim Hagn. He made some exceptionally nice rifles, and his prices were reasonable. Sorry I don't have an address or phone number for him.

Dang Roger! You scarred that one up GOOD !!!

Could you send me a bigger picture of that scroll.

I'm doing my first English style now and you KNOW I'm always looking for ideas to steal.

This is the last address I have handy.

I emailed you a supersized photo. It may take a while to download.

Fairly basic design work. Feel free to use anything you need off of it. I know I have used a whole pot full of your advise off of these pages.

Jack....I forgot to ask.

Who did the stock and metal work on the rifle photo that you submitted?

Very crisp work....indeed.
