I recently picked up a .22 target rifle that is stamped A. Furter Olten.
It looks like a Tanner, has dual firing pins, and a unique set trigger. I am having a hard time find out any information on the rifle. Any suggestions

Even if the question is in the wrong board: Albert Furter was a Swiss gunmaker with a shop in Olten, Switzerland, which still exists, but with a new owner. Most of the rifles Albert Furter sold were designed and made by Stefan Dobler, who worked till 1991 for Albert Furter and has now his own gun shop in Gelterkinden, Switzerland, with the email adress <
info@waffen-dobler.ch>. If anybody can, it is probably Stefan Dobler who might be able to give you some information about your rifle.

Thank you for that information ElBosco
I had started another thread right after realizing I was posting in the wrong section, but thanks.
