I’m in the Dallas area looking to buy a 404 Jeffrey. If anyone wants to sell one, let me know. Thank you for your time.
 
Any idea what you are looking for or are you wide open?
 
I may have a CZ 550 SAFARI MAGNUM 375 h&h Action (NIB) and a 404 barrel un threaded NEW unchambered if you want to get one built.
Krish.

Hi duckfish,

The idea that Krish describes is very doable, if you can deliver your project components to a professional Gunsmith-Rifle Builder and wait awhile until it is completed.

Yours truly did exactly that for my .458 Lott,
pictured below.
First I bought a used CZ 550 Magnum rifle, in caliber .375 H&H.
Then, I hired a Rifle Builder-Gunsmith (Jim Kobe, in Minnesota) to rebarrel and re-work it into a very fast handling, large bore rifle.

When completed and I received it up here in Alaska, it was still a little bit persnickety while cycling it with live rounds.
And so, I had local Gunsmith, Andy Hawk slick it up.
It is now very smooth feeding, reliable, etc.
I like this rifle very much, even though the most dangerous animals that I have shot with it have so far, all been made of paper,stapled to cardboard.

@krish always has the nicest items for sale. That's a good option to consider. If you want to break open the piggy bank, there is a top notch Joe Smithson/Granite Mountain build on GI for 17k. No connection to the seller but Joe Smithson is one of the finest DG builders on the planet.
 
Why wasn’t listed on AH first? Feels like an injustice. :)
 
I was wondering why it’s still on the site, seems like a great deal. Thank you all for the information.
 
I looked on the website and can’t find it?

Some of the well known sellers (Champlins for example) keep guns listed that have been sold in their inventory list to generate traffic. I have guns I bought from Champlins 3 years ago that are still listed. They aren't being unethical as they wouldn't sell it again but it does generate traffic to their offerings. It's just hard to tell what is really there sometimes.
 
Have a 404j in Iceland built of a mauser action message me if interested..can easily export
 
You could buy that gun, keep the scope, and sell it in a month for $1500 less. That seems like a good deal based on one pic and no description
At the risk of being struck by lightning, I disagree. I think he could keep the scope and still make money on the rifle. :)

Searches still bring up Hallowell listing going numerous years back, but they are not still listed on their site.
 
I’m in Denton Co I and have an AHR DGR in 404 that I could possibly be talked out of. Also have factory ammo and reloading components to go with it.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto
