So Phil, you have captured my interest with the photos.
Questions:

1. No magazine box?

2. Has the action been altered to allow the bolt to extend more reward when cycling? I see a lot of metal removed from the top front of the rear bridge.

3. How much metal removed from the bottom lug of the receiver? I would love to see details in a photo or two.

Would like photos of the sights and of the stock.

Stock dimensions would be handy also: LOP, drop at heel, drop at front of comb, any cast off?

What a novel concept, wood for the magazine walls and front!

I have a box full of M98 actions and a 404 is on the to do list. I would like to make it look like an original.

Thanks!
