Got some pics progress pics of my 1909 .404 J project, not far from being done now. It has been two and a half years and will be worth the wait.     | ||

Beautiful work! Looks like you are getting it done right. What bottom metal is being used, and what scope mounts will you install? | |||

500 Bob De'Vries made the bottommetal himself.................he now uses blackburn I beleive and I managed to get the last of his own personally made .404 Bottom metal. He has made a set of custom talley bases which are more attractive than the standard talley bases. See the pic below. I have done my best to do this right, I have used Oz's premier metal smith and stock person Bob De'Vries and Ross Waghorn and have put all the appropriate extras on it. The trigger group will be a stell blackburn unit.  | |||

Now that what I like seeing. Very pretty. I need to call Ted Blackburn now, the bottom metal on my my very similar project is my trouble and thats a good lead. I thought he wasn't doing 404 bottom metal for the 98. I am going to call today. How many rounds down down in your mag? Again, Very nice!!!!! | |||

PC, As I've said before your all class mate, that's turning into an heirloom of a rifle! Hopefully our elected officials will allow our grandkids to hold that style of rifle and say " Grandpa PC was a gun whore ... but boy he had some taste (as they line up a grassy in the spotlight from the back of a dusty ute  )" When are you heading eastwards so we can drag it through some scrub after a Sambar? Get in before the kids/grandkids do??  Cheers mate and its looking awesome... Con PS: Did you check out Bob's handbuilt double .22RF? | |||

PC, Once this rilfle is finished, I doubt you will be able to stand the sight of a lowly CZ.  | |||

Outstanding work. You're rightly proud of building such a labor of love. The finished product surely will be worth it. Nice going! ____________________________________________ Did I mention, "I REALLY LIKE GUNS"? "...I don't care what you decide or how much you pay for it..."

Terrific...just terrific. Keep us posted on the build, I just love the work in progress photos. There's just something about seeing a rifle take shape that makes it more attractive to me in the end.
