Can a standard mauser action be converted to handle the 404 Jeffery ? I have one more left handed Zastava/CD action that I may want to take in this direction if it is possible. Can it be made to work? What modifiications would be needed? | ||

Sure it can same way that the M98 has been converted to 404 for years. Not near as easy and a 375H&H conversion. Needs bolt face, box work, rails and feeding issues to say the least. If I was going to the expense and wanted it on a 98 I would look to an action viewed more as a classic. At least an FN earlier 98 even better. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

I have one on a 1935 Brazilian Oberndorf action, & it feeds flawlessly. Also, I totally agree with what Paul K said ....... quite a bit of work, & it should be a classic action for that classic cartridge. ____________________________ .470 & 9.3X74R Chapuis' Tikka O/U 9.3X74R Searcy Classics 450/.400 3" & .577 C&H .375 2 1/2" Krieghoff .500 NE Member Dallas Safari Club | |||

Most original 404s were built on std length actions. From 1909:  NRA Life Member, Band of Bubbas Charter Member, PGCA, DRSS. Shoot & hunt with vintage classics. | |||
