Ok thanks!
It’s for sale and I’ve never seen that before so it definitely caught my attention. There are no other modifications or markings on it so it’s definitely bizarre

So nothing specific, just maybe someone’s idea at “lightening” the rifle?!

Thanks everyone!

Hi guys!

Does anyone know what this slot is that is milled in this No4?

Thanks!

Well Peter you don’t just once again prove you are a wealth of knowledge but a treasure! Thank you for this!

Thanks Alan!
I wonder if this is the case because the bore on this thing is brilliant!!

Thanks Roger!...

I recently purchased a package deal of 2 No4 sporterised rifles with full length barrels.
One is a savage no4mk1* with 2 groove barrel that had the bayonet lugs removed, barrel polished and blued...

Thank you for the info Captain!

I also enjoyed the shameless plug of what’s in your collection ;)

It looks like the mk1* program started with serial 0C50000, can anyone corroborate this?

Thanks Alan!

From what little research I did I could not seem to find any logs of Mk1* with 0 after the C, they seemed to all have a number other than 0 so I found this one odd.

I’m wondering...

Hi all!

I am curious about the lineage of this rifle.
I looked up serial numbers and couldn’t find any mk1*’s with serial 0C0###. Is this an odd one? Or not that rate.

Thanks in advance!
...

Thanks for the suggestion!
I was contemplating trying a couple different sight blocks I have on hand and see if they fit a little better, if that fails I’ll give this a thought for sure!

Thanks Roger,
Looks like maybe on the right way here?
...

Thanks guys!
I checked the nose cap and it seemed like there was a gap so I tapped it tight to the nose of the forend and still won’t clear.
Here are some pictures of what I’m dealing with....

Is it typical for an unissued No4 forend (N49 stamped) to be too long?
I am trying to fit one and no matter how I position it it won’t seat.
With the rear hard against the socket face, the nose...

Excellent points and info thank you!
The owner is an 85 yr old gunsmith who is not savvy with computers so getting pictures will be a challenge but I’ll see what I can get!

Thanks for the offer!
I’ll let you know if it comes to that!

Hey Thanks! Good idea on the WTB!
I checked Sarco but they won’t ship to Canada

Thanks Roger! This definitely helps

Thanks Hayboy!
Totally agree about it being more of a curiosity...

Hi guys!

I am in need of the 2 stock cross bolts typically found on repro A3 C-stocks.

I’ve searched what I believe to be everywhere!! But have not been successful.

Any help where to find...

Thanks for the replies guys!!

Curious what the group thinks on its collectibility or rarity if you will?
Is this an outfit that was well known for sporterising Enfields with a high volume or is...

Hi guys!

Looking for information on a No.1Mk3 a buddy of mine has.

It’s basically a standard sporterized No.1 except the barrel has written on it:

LINCOLN JEFFERIES STEELHOUSE LANE...

Given Your enfield to SVT ratio you get a pass mentioning the SVT here ;)

Exactly what I’m looking for,

Thank you Brian!

Hey guys!

Starting my L42 build and working on inletting a stock to fit the heavy barrel and I am wondering if these were fully floated or were they setup with pressure at the tip like standard...

Searching for A3 parts, an A3 action, barreled action or sporter to build up an A4 sniper.

An A4 bolt would also be fantastic! (Repro or original).

I have the wood and scope and need the rest....
