What can anyone tell me about this German gunmaker?

JUST DONE A WEB SEARCH ON HIM. SEEMS AS THOUGH THE KERNER FAMILY HAS BEEN BUILDING GUNS FOR SEVERAL GENERATIONS. APPEARS THEY REALLY LIKE DOUBLE RIFLES AND DRILLINGS. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY MY GRANDFATHER SAID THERE WAS A LOT OF GUNBUILDING GOING ON IN THE SUHL AREA OF GERMANY.

I WOULD BE WILLING TO BET NEXT MONTHS PAYCHECK HERR KERNERS QUALITY IS VERY HIGH AND WORKMANSHIP TOP NOTCH. A LOT OF THE CUSTOM RIFLES AND SHOTGUNS FROM GERMANY INVOLVE A LOT OF INTENSIVE HAND WORK AND ARE FOR THAT REASON EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY AND EXPENSIVE.

ANOTHER AREA THAT PRACTICES THIS SAME QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP IS THE FERLACH AREA OF AUSTRIA. THERE IS A MANUFACTURER THERE BY THE NAME OF SCHEIRING I BELIEVE WHO PRODUCES FIREARMS OF EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY. I WAS PRIVILEDGED TO VISIT HIS SHOP BACK IN THE '70S. WOW. HIS EMPLOYEES WERE A MIX OF YOUNG AND OLD AND THE TRADE WAS BEING TAUGHT TO THE YOUNGER FOLKS. BOY, IF I WAS YOUNGER I WOULD PAY HIM FOR THE PRIVILEDGE OF WORKING THERE.

PROBABLY MORE THAN YOU WANTED TO KNOW BUT YOU CAN DO A WEB SEARCH ON HIM AND STUDY THE DETAILS.

Thanks stinger. I did a search and found very little.

Over the decades have often looked at Kerner guns. Quality very high. Never owned one.

HP Shooter,

I have seen two Emil Kerner rifles both Mausers with "J" bore 8x57 chamberings. They were really beautiful. Are you looking at a particular rifle that you would like to buy?

Good hunting!
