0C109 is a No4 MkI T and is the only Savage I have seen that was converted to an L42. I did not know a Savage L42 existed until I saw some pictures of it from an auction in Australia -- are you the new owner?Quote:

About as far west as you can go and still be in Australia. Which company (confidentiality is OK)Quote:

Thank you, I was only aware of 0C109 since it was the only one I had seen and very few Savage's were converted to T's. If there are two, may be there are three, so maybe I do have a chance to obtain a Savage L42. 0C1 and the one-millionth are a different story, I will only obtain those in my dreams.Quote:

Longevity, serviceability and standardisation were the basic requirements
There must be at least three Savage L42a1s as a friend of mine sold one a several years back. Delivered to a fellow at Knob Creek, IIRC. Why I did not buy it is a giant mystery...Cash poor at the time?
