I think I stumbled onto a legit Griffin and Howe. The cheekpiece is throwing it off a little from others I've seen. That buttpad is definitely a newer addition.
My (outdated) copy of the SRS actually shows some serial numbers near this one (1427734) being sent to Griffin and Howe.
What do you guys think? These pictures are from the seller. (Note to self: I like the blue background for these gun pictures!)

I'm going to say thats not a legit G&H. G&H normally marked their rifles on top of the barrel. Also the 1903's ive seen had the arsenal markings linished off the reciever ring and stippled. They would've filled that rear sight base spline too. Metal finish not what I'd expect from G&H either.Quote:

This was...not a good purchase. Can't win 'em all! :surrender:
Griffin and Howe? More like Good Grief, and How!

That was sort of my thought too looking at my copy.
This stock is definitely not Griffin and Howe quality though. The barrel isn’t marked either.

Nice rifles...
Beautiful rifles.
I would say the third one is an NRA Sporter that was upgraded by G & H. Am I right?
Looks like you are only missing a Niedner rifle! You may have one hidden but those are very nice rifles posted. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your very kind words, H. A great value coming from you.
I don't know if the third rifle originated as an NRA Sporter, or not. The crown is polished/re-crowned so no evidence of a star. The front of the receiver is slightly rounded like my known NRA Sporters, however, I have no non-sporters to which I could make a comparison. I don't know how else to check, so I would say "I don't know". Experts??
