I'm not sure what information G&H kept on the men who did the work. They mainly stayed in the background and I don't know if they were allowed to sign their work or not.
I've not paid a lot of attention to the post-war workers at G&H but Ernest Kerner was the chief stocker. There was also S. R. Griffin, Robert Heym, Andrew Lawnikouski, Albert Dykes, Otto Kratzenberg. I'm not sure who all did the stock-making, at one time they used a pantograph. Men like George Hyde I think left before the war.
What's the G&H work order number on your rifle?

Dave Wesbrook must have been there about that time or a bit later. He is a ACGG member, so they should have contact information for him.

I think George Beitzinger was there at that time also, not sure if he was woodworking then.
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

Does anyone have a theory about the unusually high scope mount?It was not unusual for pre-War G&H Springfields to have the scope mounted high enough that it cleared the Lyman 48 rear sight and made altering the bolt handle unnecessary, but I have never seen a Model 70, let alone a post-War Model 70, treated that way.
Maybe the original scope had a much larger objective?

I've seen several M70s with the high G&H side mounts. Mainly to clear the iron sights so they could be used.

My own main question is, why the cheap peep? The borderless checkering fits the '60s dating. However the usual G&H practice is/was/has always been to use the best available components but that cheap(er) peep doesn't really fit their image, at least not in my mind. The 48 was still being produced at that time so I wonder why? Strange.
