The 404 Jeffery an Icon second to none

I was sitting here thinking why would he shorten the extractor or why & how ,i see its the ejector blade, Beautiful rifles not too fancy to use if i was younger & fitter i would want a 404J. what Mauser actions does he use ?
 
Gert,

Have you sold any of the 404's to America. If so, do you have an idea of what the shipping and transfer costs amounted too?

Do you have any 404's left in stock or will there be another run? If so, what is the base price?

Does Johan install a 3 position M70 type safety on the action for a better scope fit?

I have read that the older Mauser actions need to be hardened for the larger caliber's. Does Johan do this or is the information I have read incorrect?

Does Johan install claw type scope mounts. If so how much of an option would that be?

As an off hand question just for my general knowledge, are the Musgrave actions pf or crf?

If you want to respond by pm, that is perfectly fine.

Always enjoy the projects you are involved in.

All the best.
 
Any chance that one of these rifles could be made in left hand and if so, what would the cost be? Please PM me with info. Thanks
 
Johan sounds like a guy I would enjoy sitting down with a cup of coffee and talking with.
@AZDAVE, Johan was the first .404 builder I tried dealing with the spring/summer of 2016, while trying to buy/import a .404 Jeffery. I was in Kosovo, but I was trying to use my FFL folks in Bryant, Arkansas. Talked to Johan several times on the phone, but could never make it work out with my folks in Bryant. They had never imported a gun and it was just over their heads. For a short period of time I just gave up on try to acquire a .404. Was dealing with @Gert Odendaal also who was/is a friend of Johan. Then you popped up on the radar....and you know the rest of the story

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
