The sideways sickle is actually the US "flaming bomb" inspection stamp.
Your rifle will be 1943.
Production ended near 1,100,000 in mid- late 1944.
Rather than adding anothe digit in front of the C letter prefix, they went back to 0c and added a 5th digit after the letter prefix.

The Savage-Stevens operations routing sheets show that the B was added as one of the last stages of work, but at present we don't know what it signifies.

I was guessing it would be somewhere in '43. So it's basically a stamp that failed to properly stamp? Interesting.

A local gun store had it listed on armslist for $400. Came with a Savage marked bayonet.
