a .404 rising from the dust
22/07/11 05:15 AM

I took pity on this old gal. It required WAY too much work to be worth while financially, but I am a sucker sometimes. I acquired the stock, which had been altered for and aftermarket and very shoddy bottom metal, the barrel with an excellent bore and the original bolt. The action was missing and wood had been opened up too much for any bottom metal that was available. I had Steve Button at Sound Metal Products fit one of their bottom metal to a 1906 Oberndorf action I patiently waited to get my hands. After getting it back from Steve I cut off his trigger guard and welded a 1909 trigger guard on to replicated the Oberndorf look. A new Horn grip cap was also fabricated to replace the missing one. I still have a bit to do, but it is getting close now. This gun was Jefferies high grade model and it will go out to Charles Lee soon for some Proper scroll work soon. One advantage of the new bottom metal is that the gun now holds 4 down.
