Al Linden was one of the early custom makers working out of his home in Wisconsin. He made a few rifles from Jack O'Connor in the early days. I have never owned a Linden made rifle, but I have seen a few. I have a photo here somewhere of one he did for O'Connor, a Model 70 in, what else, .270 win.

If I can find the photo, I'll attach it here.

Piss poor picture, but this is a Neidner Springfield stocked by Alvin Linden. I'll get some decent pictures of it when I get a chance.

I do know it came out of a Alaskan natives estate 15 or so years ago. I will also have to hunt down an Emil Koshollek grip cap as the one belonging to this rifle is AWOL.
