Is This, All of my Rifles are Shooters and this one, (Long Branch No 4 Mk1*) shoots very well, but someone sure Bubba'd this one and I can't understand why, I have had it for more than 20 years, but just now got to looking.

Looks like somebody didn't want somebody else to see what was there. Like tattooing over an ex girlfriend's name!
The letters "D" and "P" for example.Quote:

Is that a 'U.S. Ordinance Bomb' marking on the bolt-head?
Yes it is!Quote:

A late war ('44) Savage bolt by the s/n and an early war cocking piece.
Wonder if this rifle was a re-capture, perhaps from the Germans.....? Any other markings on the butt ?
Cheers.
No, no markings on the Butt or the Stock or underneath the Butt Plate, there is an R on the Flat of the Barrel and a 4 0 slightly to the side of that, I think that this is a Parts Gun put together at Federal Ordinance of S. El Monte Cal., who was the Importer.Quote:
