Hi Guys

I have been looking several days now to find some proper cleaning equipment for the .404 Jeffery.
Obviously it's not that easy in Europe to find nylon brushes or a matching patch holder in .423...

All I found was a BoreSnake for .416 to .460 and a bronze brush.
I didn't find snap caps either...

Did I miss something or is it really that hard to find such an equipment (at least in Europe)... ?

Please help, if you know where to get such stuff :)
 
I use a plastic coated Parker Hale cleaning rod, matching tip and .44 caliber bronze and nylon brushes.

I agree with Mike, I don't think I have ever seen brushes specific to the 404, just use 44 cal brushes and a jag made for the 44 Mag pistol round, bore is actually .429 not .44.

I've got the Tipton brush and jag sets along with the single carbon fiber rod. Like others have said I use the 416 diameter.
 
I did look for brushes and jags specific to the 404 Jeffery, but found none from any manufacturer. You MIGHT do better looking in the UK. The .429" equipment work just fine on my .404. No ideas on snap caps.

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
