Watch as we install our M1C Side Mount on this M1 Garand receiver in the sought-after 1" ring configuration.
Originally developed to provide a rugged and repeatable optics mounting solution, the Griffin & Howe side mount remains one of the most iconic upgrades available for the M1 platform. Our craftsmen continue to fit and install these mounts with the same attention to detail that has defined Griffin & Howe for generations.
Looking to complete your own setup? Our standard 7/8" M1C Side Mount top halves are now available for purchase directly through our website.

There’s something timeless about a true double rifle—the balance, the craftsmanship, and the confidence they inspire in the field. At our appreciation for double rifles runs deep, and so does our commitment to building solutions that respect their tradition while enhancing their performance.
Our in-house made RDS mount is designed specifically with that philosophy in mind, offering a clean and reliable optic solution that can be either drilled and tapped or expertly dovetailed into the rib depending on the rifle and customer preference. Modern function, traditional craftsmanship—built to complement the character of every double rifle that passes through our shop.

What began as a customer’s vision was brought to life through the craftsmanship and artistry of
No 2875 More than an engraved floor plate—this scene tells a story of power, dominance, and survival.
A Cape Buffalo and Grizzly bear collide in a dramatic hand-engraved battle inspired by the iconic “bull and bear” of the stock market. Strength versus force. Patience versus aggression. Rendered in steel beneath a rifle chambered in the mighty .416 Rigby.
The engraving transforms the rifle into both a dangerous game companion and a true work of art. Paired with the traditional removable Griffin & Howe side mount and double square bridge action, every detail reflects a legacy built over generations.

No.2875 Built for the world’s most demanding hunts, this custom Ma**er Sporter is chambered in the legendary .416 Rigby and crafted with the timeless details that define true sporting rifles.
Featuring the traditional removable Griffin & Howe side mount, the optic can be detached and returned to zero with ease—preserving both the rifle’s classic profile and field-ready versatility. A double square bridge action, fine craftsmanship, and dangerous game pedigree come together in a rifle built to carry on a century of tradition.
