Awhile back someone asked for a list of what gear and food went along on a safari of bygone days. I cant find the post now but ive found a book from around 1910 that lists everything they took along, what all the natives did that they hired and lots of other logistics that other authors omit. The book is “IN AFRICA Hunting Adventures In Big Game Country” by John T. McCutcheon. The book is probably available as an ebook through your local library.
 
Could you give us a synopsis/outline?
 
Is it a worthwhile read? I see it’s available on my iPhone

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
