Probably the best way to build a 404 Jeffery is to start with a M70 Win Classic (CRF) in one of the RUM cartridges. The head diameter is very close and may work without any (or much) bolt face alteration. The magazine box and rails are already configured for the RUM diameter, so should feed the Jeffery without problems. I don't have any experience with the M-98 conversion to 404 Jeffery but have heard it requires significant work to make it reliable every time.
