Yup, I'll be sure to flip it around once I pick it up Saturday.
Ah gotcha. Looks good to me. And not sure if the forend is stamped S. Rifle arrives Saturday. I'd bet my Savage scopeless T it is though. No one else used that kind of wood for their stocks.
Not sure what you mean by strap at rear of forend.
I like the way you think, because secretly I had my doubts about that No.3 bolt head as well. Resting easy now!
Thanks, I was trying to figure that out.
Picked this beauty up for $450. Should be arriving Saturday.
Been a long time since I've seen one this nice! What do you guys think?

My 1950 Long Branch was the same way; nice clean serial on receiver, but punched in somewhat crudely on the bolt.
Every Savage I've had showed the serial punched into the bolt as your photo shows. Thank you by the way! It was in too nice condition not to pass up. Seriously this has been my dream rifle for 10...
#4,000 or so out of a million...that brought a smile Tommy face :)
I'm thinking of getting one of the reproduction No.32's sold at Numrich's website. I asked Brian whether a Mk1 or Mk2 would be...
All good news :)
I didn't see any stake marks on the one Badger linked either. I'd think those were done once a scope was fitted and the pads "shaved" accordingly.
I think it may just be the poor quality photos. Here is a photo taken from the Article Doug posted, very similar:

Perhaps once I receive mine and dust it, I can take some photos and add it to the article.
Hey guys,
I've got another authentification request for you. Brian and Badger have already given it the green light, but just interested in what others might think.
You may remember my last...
Awesome! So it's safe to assume this rifle was on a Navy ship?
Any idea why they marked them as such? Who used them?
Hey guys,
Could you tell me if there are any red flags for this rifle and what value it has? Thinking about pulling the trigger:

Thanks so much!
Thanks Brian and thanks again everyone for your responses. Love this community.

Thanks for all the replies guys! And thanks to those who told me about the bayonet grips being upside down! I've fixed it already. You guys are great.
Posted this in another forum: Unissued No.5 Mk1 Lee Enfield - Album on Imgur and was immediately told it was not original, as the buttstock, bolt and rear sight were incorrect for the following...
Yea I read something about the stocks being stamped in Israel. Very cool! Any idea on value? From what I've read the Singer one produced 25,000 receivers for Underwood. Glad to hear the good news!...
Thanks for the quick response.
Here is a picture of the rear sight: http://i.imgur.com/ZkJmWhf.jpg
Looks like a solid pin with a little dimple in it.
Thoughts?

Can you shed some light on the rear sight roll pin? Not exactly sure what that means.
Thank you
