Griffin and Howe heavy barrel M1903 target rifle

[Calfed]

I recently glommed this rifle at an auction and have been scouring the internet for any information about it with almost almost no luck.

The auction pics and description...





"Custom U.S. Springfield, Model 1903, Bolt Action Rifle, with 28" custom heavy barrel by Griffin & Howe, .30-06 caliber, SN 1269532, custom heavy walnut checkered stock, very nice condition."



It arrived a few days ago and I got a chance to snap a few pictures before it went into my FFL's safe for a 10-day "cooling-off" period.

Anyone have any information on G&H heavy barrel target rifles?

The bore is very good...shiny, sharp and the muzzle measures "0" on the CMP muzzle gauge. The bluing is excellent.

The barrel is marked "Griffin and Howe Inc New York"



And "30.06 Gov"



Bolt had striker modified and the bolt handle is marked "J5"





Stock has interesting grain
