I found this at a local gun show today. I know nothing about it other than what can be seen. It’s a 270 and has C.E. Grace on the barrel. Anyone familiar with the maker? Interested in what people can point out to me regarding the build.
Charles Grace out of Colorado is my guess. ACGG member and renown stockmaker and gun builder. You got a good one!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling
Some of the stamping issue may be photography related. I know the rifle feels very nice. Very light and lively in the hands. I was thinking that was the smith, but wasn’t sure as I have seen his name a few different ways but not referred to as “C.E.” other than this stamping.
Stamping is way off. Email him a couple pictures to verify he made it? I think he is still around. Chuck Grace email from ACGG - riflemakerone@yahoo.com
Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can.

I did send him some pictures a few days ago. He remembered the rifle. It was built in 1984. Built off an Erfurt small ring action. Blackburn bottom metal and trigger.
