I just acquired a non drilled or tapped 1903 action, that I'm somewhat keen to build a rifle in the pattern of the G&H 1903's like this rifle

I'm curious if anyone has any good photos of a 1903 with a quarter rib and/or express sights?

Have you found a supplier for your 1903 G&H styled stock yet?, if so do share. I recently had a 400 Whelen built on a 1903 and need that style of wood for it to make it complete.

Great American Gunstock Company has two G&H style patterns advertised. But I met a local guy who hand carves stocks and has one that I'm seriously considering.

Henry Pohl informs me Great Western Gunstock Co is closed. He has sold everything and the machines/inventory was sold to two individuals. One in Idaho and one in California.

Looks like I'm going with a hand carved one.

Evans Compton has some of the original G&H stock patterns in his inventory. Some of the patterns were made by using parts of the original military stock grafted to newly made butt and forearm sections. 336 766 0271 I don't believe that he has a website.
