The wrist angles and ceckering design and overall wonderful work makes me think Dorleac.

That sure looks like a solid sided double square bridge to me. Full octagon barrel with integral rib. As the seller says, a nice candidate for a rebore/rechamber to 9.3X62.

It was a double square bridge, but rear bridge is removed and it looks to me like half octgonal to round barrel.

Pity the scope mounts is gone.

Ah, Gen Hicks, you caught me. The description says "Laufkontur von eckig auf rund." (Barrel contour changes from angular to round). However, in my mind a double square bridge remains one, no matter if the rear bridge is mutilated or ground off. Also, as far as I know, there are no solid left wall single square bridge actions.

The reason I didn't notice the alteration to the rear bridge is that I have a double square bridge Oberndorf Mauser with a Suhler Einhakmontage and the rear foot is dovetailed into the square bridge without otherwise changing it.

Hello,

I don't see the rear bridge was altered. It seems original to me. By the way, DORLEAC have showed recentley a .404 J made with an Original Sporting Mauser action like this 8x60 S: single FRONT square bridge!
Mr. DORLEAC said it was very rare but entirely original.

Best wishes and Happy Christmas!!

I'm having trouble posting photos for some reason but I will attempt to describe the arrangement.
The rear base of the mount has a male dovetail extending from front to rear, and the square bridge has a corresponding female dovetail cut in it to receive the male dovetail. This eliminates the need for any attaching screws and lowers the base as far as possible.

Lancaster, Humbert is an arms dealer that has been established at Saint Etienne in France for ages; they still trade and their website is www.humbert.com . For those not aware, Saint Etienne, in central France, is the city where arms making and arms trading has historically been concentrated. Regards. Louis

thanks, what do you think about the 404, its belgian made
isn't?

the rifle don't looks so bad( I have no sense for engraved safe queens).
would be just the rigth rifle to give Ziegenhahn in Suhl´for rechamber it to 404 Schueler Magnum. dont need it but would be cool to have it.

What's the difference between the normal .404 Jeffery and the .404 Schueler Magnum? Thanks.

the 404 Schueler Magnun was a maybe pre WW 1 improvement of the 404 by Schueler
some years ago one case was found in the old proof house in zella mehlis behind an old board after being there for 80 -90 years iirc, by the old master Ziegenhahn. he had made a chamber reamer and at least one rifle, brass can be made from 460 weatherby cases. the cartridge is also in the 460 weatherby class and much to heavy but cool!


http://www.municion.org/

the Zi-Di headstamp is an old Ziegenhahn trademark, its a reworked weatherby case
any 404 rifle can be changed into the 404 Magnum
