FYI .404 Jeffrey on GnBrkr

[crossone]

There is, what appears to be, a Mauser actioned custom .404 Jeffrey on GnBkr which has been listed as "Other Caliber" and I just happened to stumble across it the other day. Because they listed it as "Other Caliber" it doesn't show up on their listed calibers as .404 Jeff.

I have nothing to do with this rifle, the seller or anything else about this listing. I'm only posting it here in case anyone may want to check it out and because it's not easy to find.

ADMINS, if this post violates any rules, feel free to take it down. Like I stated, I have nothing to do with it. Just thought someone else may appreciate it.

It has been listed for quite awhile. They are asking a lot for it, probably twice what it is worth and the seller has almost no history. No inspection period either.

Yeah $9,900 for a rifle built on an FN action seems pretty steep.

That’s all correct. The same seller also has .350 Rem. Magnum brass for sale and (allegedly) some ammo, per the GB ad, which I was interested in.

And although both ads say to “ask any questions,” I sent the seller three questions on the .404 rifle and two questions on the 350RM brass and received NO reply to either.

That lack of response to simple questions and his minimal history on GB make me suspicious. If you click on his feedback history, some of the wording in the one post sounds like he had a buddy make it up for him.

As always, buyer beware.
