It's a Number 4 Mark 1* made by Savage in the U.S. for the "Lend/Lease" program. Someone has sporterized it.

Thanks guys,
'taint me, it's the rifle. Since that range session, I've done a bit more work on the rifle. Read a post by Ed Horton on another board where he explains in detail how to properly...

Hey, you wanna sell a +.09 or +.10? The tallest one I had is +.03 and that got me 2" high @ 25 yards. I need to bring it down 2" on a Savage #4 Mk1* and according to the book, a +.09 would just...

Thanks Stevo,
That's what I thought, but I hadn't seen anything that said whether the + marking meant increasing numbers made the POI go higher or whether it was in reference to the actual height of...

Need info on the + and - markings on the #4 front sights.

Do the + marked ones raise the point of impact, or are they actually taller to lower the POI?

Finally got the new bolt from Springfield Sporters to replace the missing one on a Savage #4, Mk1* I with a 2 groove barrel I was given about a month ago. New bolt came with a #1 bolt head and...

pred66,
Yours is a few months newer than mine. I have a No. 4 Mk 1(F) dated 9/48 that was also South African issue and the bore is really nice. Your stock is all matching, but mine had a beechwood...

I still don't know what I did to deserve it, but I was given an almost complete Savage #4 Mk1* this afternoon. It has a 2 groove barrel with a tight muzzle and nice sharp rifling. Externally it's...

Thanks Badger, and I've done a bit of cleanup work on the old warhorse since the last trip. Found some decent wood and got it all properly installed after a bit of work. Applied a couple of coats...

Yup, that's one of the major reasons for using Hodgdon's Varget. It's just about the most temperature stable powder out there. Results don't change much from sub-freezing to desert heat. I use it...

Hey bearhunter, you aren't hijacking the thread. It's a legitimate question and I've gotten a lot of good information from quite a few people both here on this board and on the Surplusrifleforum.com...

Badger,
I finally got a chance to take that No.4 MK I that I got as a freebie (and was looking for the #3 bolt head for) to the range yesterday. Ammo used was manufactured in Serbia with PPU...

About a month ago, I was given a 1948 Fazakerly No.4 MK I by a friend who had rescued it from a pawn shop in Delaware. Aside from some really beat up wood, the rifle is in fine shape with a clean...

OOPS, my bad! :madsmile: I mis-read the book -- you move the front sight into the error, not away from it. It's the rear sight that goes in the direction you want to move the bullet strike.
...

If anyone knows where I might obtain one of the windage adjustable rear sights for the No 1 MK III please PM me or post a reply here.

My 2A groups very tight, but it shoots very far to the right....

After working for about a month to clean up one of AIM Surplus' Ishapore 7.62 2A's, the South African surplus 7.62 x 51 NATO Ball ammo arrived this afternoon. I immediately grabbed 20 rounds and...

Just talked with the folks at AIM. They are going to correct the website information and send me a UPS call tag so I can ship mine back to them.

They have corrected their site to indicate just No...

Now I have some BAD news - the stock set from AIM is for a No 4 MK II not a MK I. At least the one I got is. Anyone ordering them should re-consider or cancel your order if they haven't shipped...

Got the stock set from AIM late this afternoon. UPS showed up around 5:30 p.m.

All 4 pieces appear to be "new old stock" walnut. It has been stained very dark and preserved, but the surface oil...

Thanks Badger,
I'm not worried about the headspace in my No. 4 MK I, as it passes the .074 gauge test just fine.

I am trying to come up with some spare parts in case I run into problems in the...

Is there noone out there that knows the proper sizes for the No.4 MK I bolt heads? So far I've not been able to find the information on the internet or in any publication I currently have.

Any...

Followup on the stock set from AIM. UPS tracking says the set will arrive 08/13/08 (this Wednesday).

I'll post pix here of the wood when it comes in, and again of the rifle once I get everything...

AIM Surplus is listing some complete No. 4 MK 1 Enfield wood and they are calling it Military Surplus in VG+ condition. $39.95 US plus shipping which in my case came out to just a bit under 9...

Not sure which forum to post this question, so I'm asking here. :)

Where can I find the actual front to back dimensions in either inch or metric specs on the 0, 1, 2 and 3 numbered bolt heads for...

Hi Matt,
Welcome from a rank newbie to Enfield collecting. Spent 20 years in the US Army Security Agency, retired in 1981 and had always been a Garand or M14 lover. Now, at 66 and on a fixed...
