404 Jeffery builders

Competant gunsmith and it works so who gives a sh*t.....
 
Sorry it's 3+1. Just realized what I typed. I just went through the email transcript I had with Corlanes back in 2015. All the "smith" had to do really was to open up the barrel channel, make a couple of extractor cuts, put on a different set of sights that I wanted, and install a barrel band for the sling, install the new barrel.
 
I had Jim Kobe here in Minnesota do my 404. I used a 375 Win Mod 70 as a donor and a Cabelas 50th Aniv Edition Stock ( E-bay Purch) and Dougles supplied the Barrel etc.

Jim did what he needed to do and the result is great looking, fantastic shooting Rifle that I haven't had to spend a Fortune building
 
I own 3 .404j
#1 original Jefferies M-98 action
#2 original Rigby converted Mauser SSB
#3 Converted CZ

I prefer the original Jefferies

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
