If you can see the slots in the screws that attach the G & H sidemount base to the receiver it was most likely not installed by G & H.
G & H normally screwed & pinned the base to the receiver & then dressed the screw heads & pins down flush with the base & reblued so that you had a very neat installation & could only see the screws & pins if you looked at the base from the correct angle & in very good light.
If installed properly it would not matter much to me who did the installation of the G & H sidemount but the muzzle brake would be a big turnoff unless it could be removed & the bbl neatly re crowned & I would also want to do something re. the Williams rear sight that (to me)
always look "cheap & out of place" on a nice rifle.
