Here are some of the latest pics from my 404. Off to be engraved, checkered and back for rust blue and final assembly. Barrel is 25" and the finished weight (unscoped) is 8-lb & 11-oz. Here's one cleaned up and color corrected for print.  These have not been cleaned up.    | ||

A beautiful and fully functional rifle... congrats on the highest form of the gunmaker's art! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

what action did that rifle start with. | |||

Fantastico! Could you give us a view of the port side? Also would you mind sharing some stock measurements? The proportions of stock to metal are perfection. Congrats! Todd | |||

Thanks for the compliments. I'm quite pleased with this one too.
The rifle was built by Stuart Satterlee on his square bridge Mauser action http://www.satterleearms.com/375_length.htm
TMG - Odly enough I don't have any photos of the LH side. I'll have to take some more. In the interim, here are some other angles.    | |||

I like everything accept the bolt handle. Reminds me of my Kimber. Work is of course excellent. | |||

Pretty slick  Just think. Stu made most every part of the rifle . He's not even a guild member. Wonder if a rifle like that would get him in the guild? Oh, wait, rules say you gotta build two. Wonder if they could bend them?  | |||

Well done! Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

The bolt handle Idea came from Tom Turpins book pg. 102, 103. I had the need to do some simple sculpting with a file it's like an ich you can't help but scratch. It's an integral handle. Chris, did a great job with selecting the components he wanted on this rifle and made sure they got here to my shop. He knew what he wanted, we did it, simple as that. Great job with the photos as well, really pulls everything together. A great use of my time and his. Go collect some trohies with that baby. Timan | |||

Chris: Gorgeous looking rifle. I'm having Bill Soverns cut the stock on my son's .30-06 to have a similar profile as to yours. Great stuff. 577NitroExpress Double Rifle Shooters Society Francotte .470 Nitro Express  If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming... | |||

New Guy Are you going to hunt that rifle? If so, what do you have planned for it? | |||
|
One of Us |
New Guy, I'm very impressed with the rifle. Are the components NECG or Slaterlee's own. I noticed on his W-sight he makes a safety for the left side of the rifle for a true right hand use. Are NECG components German Recknagel as they sure look like. How many rounds does it hold? | |||

What would The Guild think about about a Satterlee Stainless Magnum Mauser in 500 Mbogo, with: integral picatinny cross-slots on the square bridges right side safety integral rear sight island and recoil lug on the barrel 24" stainless "Harry McGowen" barrel of 1:10" twist, .835" diameter at muzzle barrel-banded front sight and sling base and a rear sight insert similar to the .404 Jeffery above and all of this set in a synthetic stock ... Would this be considered too avant-garde? I'm sure Stuart Satterlee can use Recknagel sight parts or duplicate them in stainless. | |||

He is doing a Mex Mauser, with a Mike Rock stainless barrel,McSwirley stock in 338 Fed. Think the Guild will take his card? Sorry I let that out Stu, LOL. | |||

Thanks Steven. I should join the Guild, I like that show. There's a November deadline for work, Right? Timan | |||
|
| One Of Us |
Yes, the bases are Recknagel. They were ordered as blanks and Stu machined them the way he wanted, and yes, the rifle will be hunted... just have to figure out what to hunt first. | |||

Hi Stu, For Guild membership, I will volunteer the use of the titanium mauser in 6.5X284 you built for me , and you did make the wood stock from a blank... best, kurtvn | |||

New Guy, and Timan, that is just fine! I would be tempted not to blue it! Seriously, I would love to see it after bluing and checkering, what a fine rig! Congrats--Don | |||

All I can say is WOW! A VERY nice rifle that anyone would be proud to own. I'm glad to hear it will be hunted and not just a safe queen (although a wonderful safe queen it would be!) Timan, A guild membership would be an endorsement to your obvious skill and I would encourage you to persue it. You have a great talent in the art of riflemaking. John There are those that do, those that dream, and those that only read about it and then post their "expertise" on AR! | |||

That is a beautiful rifle. I can't wait to see it finished. 8lbs 11oz sounds great. Congratulations on a great job! DRSS | |||

Wondeful rifle! Absolutely love it!!! What African hunts do you have planned to break it in?  Best Regards, Dave | |||
|
One of Us |
Can you show the bore? I have the same profile and barrel at 25" but mine is a 6.5mm. | |||
|
| One Of Us |
David - I'm pretty sure it will be headed to Africa next spring. I've got an outdoor writer/HEYM elephant hunt planned for a magazine with the new 450/400, and although the new 450/400 double will be the focus, I just don't see how I can leave this one behind. A photo from the muzzle end? I can post or send you a photo, but it will take me a few days to get that done. | |||

One of Us |
new_guy, since more photos have already been requested can I add one more request? If you could, a photo with the scope attached would be nice, assuming you already have a scope prepared for mounting. _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||
