Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Tell Me About The 404 Jeffrey

Here's a .404 J. Cogswell and Harrison built on an Enfield action. Got the photo on line.

What's your thoughts on using a 1917 Enfield? Sometime one can find a sporterized Enfield with a lot of the expensive work already done and that crooked bolt handle would have to go. The follower and rails would need work to handle the fatter .404 J. round.

Enfields have a big, deep box mag. and often when they're customized, the floorplate/box is cut and welded to eliminate the drop. For a .404 J. I think you'd want to keep the deep, drop type mag.
