Do you have more info on this? I have a savage no4 mk1 T that I have been suspecting may be a trials rifle. The pad screws are all chewed up and I thought some idiot in the surplus market was the...
[QUOTE=Roger Payne;526978]They may exist, but I've never seen British produced cheekpieces in walnut, only Canadian. I have examples of UK cheekpieces in beech (the most common), birch (usually...
Thank you to all for your posts. I took a black light to the rifle and I think there is a semblance of the S51 and potentially a scope number on the wrist. Would any scopes have started with an 8? ...
Thank you all for the input. I do not think it was faked as I really did pick it up for cheap by todays standards. I agree that the stock does appear refinished but it does not appear that the T...
Hello, we can list under items I bought because they peaked my curiosity and hurt my wallet. I purchased this about a year ago. In my collection I really wanted an early Savage No4 mk1 (no star)...
Looking for original USGI M1D scope mount for a cmp rifle
Looking for a 1903A4 bolt to restore an original A4 back to original specs
Looking for an original No32 scope and mount for an original No4T
I got lucky and picked up my no4T no scope because the description was “maybe sniper?” So I got it sub 1k on auction only to find it soaked in cosmo with all the correct markings and parts. I think...
Is that a numrich repro scope on there?
Fascinating! Do you have the link the to the original article?
From your description it does appear to be from the first batch from 1944 as there is not a letter prefix. Out of curiosity does anyone know the turn around time between being manufactured at BSA...
Thank you all for the input. The bolt is marked R but may be an older modification. A member has already reached out to me about a NOS bolt Im glad I checked with the experts
Thanks Jim that is what I was looking for. It would make sense the stock appears to have been sanded and now has some shiny finish put on it. Any recommendations on where to source a replacement?

Hello All,
I acquired a 1903A4 this last summer and am just getting around to researching it and looking into getting the scope put back on. I am in talks with a member...
I double checked the wrist and the serial does not have a suffix for a prefix letter. It is just 5 numbers. Does that mean early 1944 manufacture? I tried doing some reading online for Garands...
Would you recommend acetone over mineral spirits and heat? Correct me if I’m wrong but the cosmoline is so thick in places I think the entire stock needs removed, heated, and wiped down with acetone...
I found it interesting that it has a Savage rear sight perhaps taken off of a spare laying around. Also it has two small holes in the side of the buttstock. I have owned a number of no4s and never...
Hello thank you for letting me know about the pictures I am still learning the photo system and will post some more. Thank you for your input. I read that the Fultons of Bisley are as close to the...

I have been traveling for the holiday and haven't gotten back until now. I pulled it out of the safe and cannot for the life of me get an idea of the scope number. Any of the markings are filled...
Thank you for your quick reply Roger. From my reading on here you are the local expert on these rifles. The scope number is currently not legible. Could this be the cosmoline in the stock? I have...

Heres the rifle
Hello All,
If this is the wrong place to post my apologies I’m new to the forums. I recently acquired a no4 T that has all the correct markings but albeit the wood stampings are very faint. It has...
Some of the new manufacture bayonets cost more than the original rifle. I have had good luck the quality reproduction models available from a variety of suppliers
