Once again, we are very excited about the future. We have sorted out all our programming problems, we’ve installed new equipment, hired skilled people, and now we are ready to move into developing new products. Our focus for the short term is building adequate inventories on all the items we offer for sale, but the future of our company will reside in new product offerings. I don’t want to elaborate at this time what products that involves, but I think you will be very pleased with what we will bring to the market in the near future.
I will keep you posted three or four times a year on our progress. If you have any suggestions, needs, or requirements I also enjoy hearing from you and both value and appreciate your point of view. If you need any orders for the balance of the year, I suggest you place them now as this always helps us in planning our production schedule. Once again, thanks for your support.
Best regards,
William D. Hober

AtkinsonI recently purchased one of your drop box Mauser .375 boxes and a standard box also..both were very well made and I was pleased..
With the success of the rebirth of the 404 Jeffery's I think it would behove you to produce a 404 drop box for a Mauser..
Also bottom metal for the Enfield, Rem 30S etc for the 404 and 505, 550 Jefferys has been a need for a long time...

ColoradoMattRay,
The post was not made by Swift, but was an e-mail past along by the poster. I received the exact same e-mail from Swift today. I would encourage you to e-mail Swift and tell them what you want. Duane Wiebe is doing a 4-down standard depth 404 bottom metal. I bought a 5-down drop box 404 unit from Duane a couple of years ago. I asked him for another a year or so ago, but he had discontinued them. Don't know if he decided to to make some more. You might ask him.
