    I bought a US Property marked Savage N04 Mk1

    I bought this rifle a couple of weeks ago for $200, Is it a mixmaster or close to correct? The magazine number matches the stock band, but the bolt number doesn't. It seems to be in very nice shape, the bore is shiney and sharp.

    That's a very nice rifle at a very good price. If by "correct" you mean the Garandicon collector's definition of the term...as it left the factory...it looks pretty close to me. South African rifles have a tendency to show up here in that "gently used" condition. I'd guess that the Mk2 two position flip sight would've been the factory original, but it's just that...a guess.

    Shame about the non-matching bolt, but that early C/P always looks good on a No.4, IMO. I'll leave any advice on checking the bolt for proper fit and function to those who used to get paid to do it...

    Congrats on a very nice score!

    Is it a South African rifle, and what does C/P stand for? Thanks

    The U with broad arrow is a South African property mark. C/P means cocking piece. Nice rifle by the way.

    The 7C bolt was probably from a MkI rifle originally and found a home on your MkI*. It's a nice example and retains most of the Savage marked parts, great score.

    madcratebuilder is correct, a 7C bolt would be off of a MkI from approx. March 1942 (35C is most likely December 1942).

    ive owned a numer of savage rifles and the mixed bolt/rifle situation is not uncommon , but there is no way to tell when / where / or how it occurred , if it headspaces enjoy it for what it is , finding the matching bolt / rifle is a tall order to make these 'correct' and she is a nice looking rifle ,

    Congrats to your rifle! I own 2 of those beauties from Savage and both are great shooters. As far as i know the rear sight wasn´t original to this rifle. I have the same "F" marked one.
