460 G&A Brevex Magnum Mauser Custom Rifle

[Esoteric Junkie]

For Sale
.460 G&A (Guns & Ammo) Brevex Magnum Mauser Custom Rifle. The 460 Guns & Ammo is a 404 Jeffery case necked up to .458" with the shoulder blow out. The cartridge was the brainchild of Tom Siatos. Performance is midway between a .458-win mag and 460 Weatherby. It offers 458 Lott, or slightly more, performance with tons more sex appeal. Here is a thread that discusses the cartridge:

The barrel extends 22-1/4" in front of the receiver and is 23-1/4" in overall length. The bore is in mint as new condition. Soldered on barrel sling swivel stud. One standing rear sight leaf. Jeweled bolt, extractor and follower as well as the right side of the action as seen from the top view photo. Two panel checkered bolt, two position safety and checkered steel grip cap. Note the shape and contour of trigger matches the inside of the trigger guard. All metal work has been rust blued. Beautiful walnut stock with ebony tip and inletted rear sling swivel stud. Shadow line cheek piece and no overruns anywhere on the beautifully executed checkering. 14" length of pull, 1" Pachmayer recoil pad. There are a few very light handling marks on the wood.

Nice rifle and I remember the write up in G&A. I didn’t see the weight listed? Any brass or dies?

I will have to weigh the rifle. Brass is easily formed by necking up 404 Jeff to .458 caliber and fireforming. I have dies, however I am unable to access them at the moment so no dies with the rifle at this time.

Great stock and action on that rifle! Man, I sold a bunch of new .404 non-headstamped brass for $1.00 each several years ago. Oooooof.

By the way, pretty sure @buckstix will buy this. Tempting, but what I have in mind for it would require bolt face modification as well as box work (and likely a new barrel).
