He he, what a refreshing and informative post. Thank you for replying! Sorry for the term " slapped on", I am not that well-educated in terms of gun terminology, I just try to explain the best I can :P The claw mount has been fitted in 2007 at the cost of nearly 1500-2000 dollars by a Norwegian weaponssmith according to the arms dealer, by the current seller. He knows this because he is often kept up to date or consulted by his current customers. So the claw mount is not factory fitted as far as I know, however the weapon smith who has performed the job is considered the #1 smith here in norway, so its probably of satisfactory quality.

According to the seller the Double rifle is produced in 1980, but you seem to think it is even older? Mechanically, it is described as " as new".

The current owner is a Links shooter, and replaced the original stock by a new one made from Turkish Walnut, and in links. Suits me fine, since I am Links myself and used Links DR`s arent exactly common. They turn up on in the classifieds maybe once a year.. the point about getting the loading data is a good one, Ill be sure to write that down behind my ear!

Aside from that, it somewhat vexes me that there seem to be absolutely NO information whatsoever about the model 5E. Maybe I should send a mail to merkel...
