The .404 African (2002)

American Custom Gunmakers Guild Firearm Project Number 17 - .404 African

The #17 ACGG Firearm, a .404 Jeffries, was designed as a serious dangerous game rifle. The craftsmen designed a firearm similar to what might have been commissioned by a young British civil servant heading to African in the early days of the 20th century.
