Zastava 375

Has anyone built a 404J on the Zastava enlarged action? If so, what issues cropped up during the build? I understand the action isn't really any larger, just relieved in the magazine area?

Cheers,
Bryce

You are correct. Also the 375 length is a little bit longer than needed for the 404. Also the magazine is too narrow as are the feed rails.

Also, they have a misprint on their list. The 458 uses the same action as the 300wm and 7mmRM, not the 375 length....

Since you are going to have to open the rails and boltface and replace the bottom-metal
you might want to start with the 30-06 size.
