Griffein & Howe - modified NRA Sporter ?
I have just purchased an NRA Sporter that has been 'uprgaded' by 'Griffin & Howe'. It is a very nice rifle in beautiful condition. I THINK it began life as an NRA Sporter -( s/n1288xx). Can anyone check for S/Ns in that range??
The rifle has a re-shaped stock, checkering and a ebony forend tip. A shame to have modified an NRA sporter but it is done very nicely. How could I confirm it was done by Griffin & Howe? Are there likely to be any markings that would confirm this?
The rifle is in the ten day wait. I will post pics when I have possession.
TIA
Eric

You might give G&H a buzz on the phone. Not sure what records they still have.

Will need pictures and the serial number, XX's do not do the job.

Well, it is not an NRA Sporter. S/N is wrong, bolt is not etched with s/n and no star on the barrel. It may still be a G & H rifle. I wiil take your advice and contact them.
It is a nice rifle, however.
