Push-feed, not sure date of manufacture but definitely ‘64 or newer. They didn’t make a huge number of these, kinda oddball. This rifle came to me stocked in a hideous Fajen thumb hole, I found a factory stock for it. Stock is not the original. It’s nice however I believe it has been stripped. The sling studs are gone, it’s had some free floating done in the barrel channel. I replaced the plunger that holds the floorplate closed. So it’s a shooter that would be good in a collection. There is a box of empty once fired brass. I put a Leupold VXii 2-7 on and got it on paper. It’s mounted with Leupold QD base/rings. Decent 3 shot group below. No failures of any kind were noted.

I’d like to get $650 for it as is. Shipping would be ~$80, US Postal only.

I have one, shoots under 1/2” with just about any load, one of my favorite varmint rounds

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .

I have quite a bit of 458 win mag brass, most of it new. How much are you looking for?
