Here is one of mine.
BTW, I have a copy of an article that appeared in the American Rifleman in 1971 about Jaegers. Very good article filled with pics and information. I saved digitally and have shared many times. If interested, contact me via PT and I will e-mail to you.

Oops! :redface: Edit, I forgot the pic.

Welcome to the forum. The Jaeger is a favorite of mine also. Search for a post on 4/16/12 named Jaeger which has a lot of great pictures of some really great looking rifles.

Beautiful rifle there... I often wonder looking at the Jaeger rifling if it did not inspire the Whitworths? Even though the are much more pronounced that the Jeager I see many similarities in them. The Jaeger sure changed the face of things here in the America's.
 
man that's nice, i just ordered the wood from TOW no. 3 i will order the rest in a couple of weeks. what grade wood is yours and what finish did you use?

Question: Did Jaeger rifles have steel or wood ramrods?
Fred

Jaegers were, and still are, around for a long time. Made in several countries they were made in different configurations for different purposes. So, yes to both. Military models (usually) had steel rods. Most others, wood.
 
This rifle is well built.and shoots like a dream....
Consider this TOTW kit! :thumbsup:
Just something about a short barrel big bore that's appealing!

Here's a repost from a few years ago:

This was the last gun my Dad made. He called it the 'Family Rifle'. The cheekpiece is our family crest. The edelweiss on the butt is a brooch from my Mother's side of the family.

This one is a keeper.
