Griffin worked from about 1910-1923 at one job and made rifles in his spare time. He had a lot of spare time and there are many of his rifles around. I have a picture of him working in his shop and there are three or four rifles with the long forearms in the picture. However most of his early stocks have a normal length forend. The Griffin with the long forearm and shot barrel is about the most comfortable rifle I have ever had the pleasure of throwing to my shoulder.
It could have been made for me it fits so well.

The engraving on both rifles is the work of R.J. Kornbrath.
