1941 Savage No. 4 Mk 1 Sniper rifle?
I'd like some opinions and info on this rifle I took a bit of a gamble on at a recent gun show. Hopefully I didn't pay 3x what it's worth! From my basic research it appears to have many correct features and markings of a No.4 T, at least for a Savage. The photos show most of the details, but a few other points to mention.
SNs match on bolt and magazine
5-groove barrel with excellent bore
The forehand was cut off in shorter style with no upper hand guard but a milled band refit
Buttstock has aluminum buttplate and holes where a cheekrest was mounted
Micrometer rear sight was butchered into a V-notch (what buffoon thought that was a good idea??)
I'm most curious about whether this is a legit No. 4 sniper and about the TR and FTR markings. I would like to refit a full fore end and possibly a retro scope and mount as I probably can't afford originals.
