404 Jeff by W.J Jeffery & Co
25/09/15 03:53 AM

Hey guys,

Been looking for a classic turn bolt rifle, preferably 404 jeff for some time now, and came across this rifle. I honestly dont know much about these and need your help. All I know that this is a military action rifle (possibly built by jeffery while Rigby had the exclusive rights to mauser actions).

I do understand that this will be project rifle, but the question is that is this particular one worth the effort? What I like about the gun is the fact that its a Jeffery in 404 jeffery.

The questions I have and dont have answers for are:

1. Is this a true Jeffery (the serial number on the barrel has one digit different from the one on the trigger gaurd)
2. Is this particular Jeffery desirable? considering the following:
a. its a military action
b. I remember reading something about the early rifles have a barrel dia different for modern loads? (need to find that thread again)

I would really appreciate your inputs.

Thanks
Saif
