I ordered the bottom metal from Duane Weibe. I don’t think he’s building them anymore. He’s on the forum. Might ask.

Thanks. I've builded the mag box for the 404 Jeef cartridges then I might just alter the origenal bottom metal as well.

No, he's not building bottom metal. Duane told me last year he sold his patterns, jigs, etc to another guy and he still hadn't done anything with it. He referred me to Swift-Blackburn and that's where I got my 98 Mauser bottom metal.
