Is there any good reason NOT to build a 404 on a standard Mauser action provided provided proper heat treat and correct mag box?

micdis,

if you have a 505 Gibbs the optimum choice here is the 404.

I'm thinking about building a nice, English style medium-heavy in the next year or so. I was planning on a 416 on a GMA action but am starting to have second thoughts. If I start with a military Mauser action, financially, I can have a 404 a good way towards completion by the time i write the check for the GMA action required for a rigby. I'v considered the cz action for the 416 but decided I'd like to go pure Mauser. As near as I can calculate I'd save about $2000 going with the 404. If anyone has input that might help bring some clarity to this dilema i'd appreciate it.

Awww, I have a fan.

So, dan, exactly how many 404 mausers have you personally built? None? Okay, how about how many 500 jeffe's? None? Okay..

How about - How many rifles have you personally built, any centerfire caliber RIFLE ?

None..

Okay, How many rifles have YOU personally sorted out the feeding on?

None ..


Dang, we aren't doing so well, just trying to find a common ground where we can share EXPEREINCE...

Wait.... since the thread is on the 404, how many 404's do you own, as I recall reading you post of PERSONALLY reloading the 416 rigby, but not the 404....


So, yeah, Dan, I am seeing a pattern here... You preach the 404, but you point out it's flaws... and you HAVE the 416 rigby, that you deselect in public...

Definately seeing a pattern going here.

You give advice on a caliber - yet have no experience building it

You give advice on a caliber - yet you don't own it

You give advice on proper twist -- yet don't own a rifle in that caliber with that over twist

You give advice on penetration - yet don't own the means to test

You write article for gun mags -- yet don't receive payment for them

You give advice on achieving 2350fps in a 458 lott with a 500 gr bullet, and state that the reloader must be defective in not acheiving that -- yet fail to come through with the data or the twist

Yes, Dan, you certainly are a bonified internet expert...

Keep up the good work, everyone loves a clown.
