Description:
Frank Hoffman and his investor Harry Snyder opened for business June 1923, the same month as Griffin and Howe. His company's future was very promising. A month after its inception James Howe, part of Griffin and Howe's namesake, joined Hoffman Arms Co. The company spent $90,000, a very large sum of money in 1923, to set-up their modern gun building shop. Snyder and other company officers traveled to Europe, where they purchased numerous commercial 98 actions from Mauser. Snyder also acquired the largest collection of imported stock blanks in the United States, according to Mr. Petrov, for use on their rifles. Some of Hoffman's key employees came from the Ross Rifle Co. in Canada. Eric Johnson from Colt, John Dubiel joined the team, specializing in stocks and barrels. John Wright, from Holland and Holland, also specialized in stockwork. This Hoffman Arms Co. history, is taken from Michael Petrov's wonderful book Custom Gunmakers of the 20th Century (copyright 2005 by Precision Shooting, Inc). Total Hoffman Arms Co production, according to Mr. Petrov, was not more than 500 guns, including shotguns.
This offering is for barell number 422 which would put its production in the early 1930’s. It comes in .300 Hoffman magnum, based on the .300 H&H magnum. The gun is built on the well renowned Mauser Waffenfabrik commercial single square bridge variant of the 98 action. The barell is 24” in length. The LOP is 13 ¾”. The rear sight is an original Lyman #48 and the barell sights are folding leaves in 100, 200 and 300 yd. increments. The bluing is 99% and the wood retains its original fine finish. The purchaser will also receive 180 unprimed, unfired cases and a two-die reloading set.
