Over the past few years, I have come across a couple of the Savage Chinese Lend Lease rifles with the Chinese markings on the receiver, but they always seem to be missing the original butt stock with the markings. Considering they shipped approx. 40,000 of these to China, I find it strange that it is easier to find a more rare rifle (SMLE MkV, No1 MkVI, L42A1, and Enforcer) than one of these.

I actually came across one yesterday at an on-line auction and was bidding against an onsite bidder. One of the problems with on-line auctions is that there is a slight delay in the feed, so if you are not paying attention, you can miss out, which is what happened to me. I was distracted by one of the kids for a second and next thing I know, the hammer was dropped and I missed out on this rifle.

Congrats to the on-site bidder, I hope he is a member of this forum and will be posting pics soon.
