RustyI think if you call Woody at
Lothar-Walther USA. As I remember he has the original 404 Jeffery contours. Order one of his barrels. I like the two .423 I have!

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

SGButtonI have a Jeffery's barrel I am fitting for a customer. If you can not find one when I get back to the shop I will take the measurements for you but it will be a couple of weeks.

"There is a bloody brave little animal called the honey badger in Africa. It may be the meanest animal in the world. It kills for malice and for sport, and it does not go for the jugular-it goes straight for the groin. It has a hell of a lot in common with the modern American woman."

RustyJason,
I ordered mine several years ago for two rifles. I didn't know Woody had the contours until I had gotten mine. I ordered to Heavy Sporter Magnum blanks and Tip Burns did the metal work.

AllenBoselydpcd,
Try this link, this LW barrel contour is supposed to be an exact copy of a Mauser Type A rifle barrel.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Allen
It's a Mauser thing, you wouldn't understand.

.680 sound good for a 404.
BTW I like .625 on 375s, not that anyone cares.....

Well since you said you care, I have an old FN(Mauser) actioned Sako in 375 H&H. It has a muzzle diameter of about .585, for what it's worth....
