What say you O' Grand Poobah of the Prewar Sporters? I am anxiously awaiting your sage wisdom to be imparted to this lowly but humble devotee. Further I sayeth Not. Jerry p.s. I leave for CODY in a little more than 2 weeks will check on your question. The Sons of Alvin Linden

Griffin & Howe next assigned blocks of numbers to particular calibers starting sometime in late 1923. Barrel Number Caliber Highest No. Recorded 101-150 .30-06 147 151-200 .35 Whelen 166 201-250 .400 Whelen 228 251-300 7X57 300 301-350 .250-3000 314 351-400 25 Whelen* 351 401-500 .30-06 494 * The .25 Whelen was a version of the modern .25-06 or .25 Niedner.

Michael Petrov Sidelock Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 6,881 Alaska	I don't have No. 500 in my database. Would you please tell me about it? I'm surprised it's on an action that could take the 30-06 length. I've seen very few 300-Savage G&H rifles and as far as I know they never set aside a block of numbers for them. The earliest one I have in my data is around 1050. MP Sadly Deceased as of 2/17/2014
