I am selling my custom Springfield 03, chambered in .35 Whelen. I have let some experts look at the gun and they said it surely looks like an early Griffin Howe made gun and early guns were not always marked. I am definitely not implying it is 100% a Griffin Howe, I called them and they said the same information, but they did say an employee may have built it for themselves. Regardless they keep no information.. So, is it, or isn't who knows. It is priced right... Between the peep sight and the scope mount, they are worth half the price of the rifle alone. It is a nice weapon.

The metal is in 98% or better condition, the stock shows lot of use and character however is solid as a boat paddle!. Handling marks and scratches and such. Gun has a great bore, I have not shot it, just hung out in the safe. It comes with a original Griffin Howe scope mount that is in impeccable condition and quite valuable a;ong with the peep sight.

It's a nice piece from earlier days, and ready to hunt!

Asking $1,350.00 shipped!!

If it's not allready sold, I'll take it.
 
Yank the stock off that thing and take copious photos of every mark, symbol, and the craftsmanship of how the mount was applied, the barrel band installed, etc.

Get the photos to Paul at G&H and be VERY polite because they don't authenticate any longer with Bob Beach's retirement. If they can affirm its a G&H, you REALLY have something special.

If it isn't authentic, you still got a hell of a deal on a very nice sporter.

It could also be a Sedgley, or a Paul Jager, or a Shelhammer, or a Hoffman.
 
Good buy--and it looked like the authentic and unique Griffin & Howe cheekpiece, right?

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
