Wow, that's one gorgeous resto. That stock really looks fantastic as well as the metal work. If this is the original bluing, it's really a great example of a No1MkV, well done!! Give us a range...
You can enlarge the picture so you can read the dimensions, or...you could just order a replica cheekpiece from Sarco:https://www.sarcoinc.com/no-4-mk1-t-sniper-rifle-cheek-piece/
Does this help?

At the time that competitors were shooting the No4Mk1 chambered for the 7.62NATO cartridge in DCRA matches, the ammo was issued by the Canadian forces for free. It was the standard issue NATO 7.63X51...
The Brits were not picky, they used No4 rifles from their own factories as well as Savage (US) and Longbranch Canadian). Canadian troops also ended up with a mix of various No4's especially at the...
Another good source of RLO or flax oil, is your local health food store. A small bottle goes a long way. Apply once a day for a week then once a week then once a month. Make sure you soak the insides...
Here's a link to a picture gallery of the old Long Branch factory. They produced the No4 Mk1* and Sten guns. It's amazing how a small country like Canada (about 12million during WWII) produced so...
If the original bolt body and bolt head are still ok, you may be able to replace the faulty part with one from the "new" bolt and make up a serviceable, properly headspaced bolt. Any left over...
The thread is about a No4 MkII not a C1A1.
You can replace the flip sight on your Savage No4Mk1 with a Mk1 sight without any problems. The Mk1 sight is the original micro adjustable rear sight for the No4. Check with eBay or Numrich for this...
Good advise, especially since the old No5 kicks back with authority.
The ad says no international shipping.
How about a picture?
As mentioned before, your fired brass looks typical. If you're going to reload, buy yourself a Lee Collet neck sizing die. It will significantly extend case life. Also, your loaded rounds will now be...
Hey BBD, here are the particulars for my No5 Mk1:
Manufacturer: Fazakerly
Date of Manufacture: 12/45
Date on Barrel: N
FTR'd: N
SN: T7026
SN on magazine: Has a serial number but not the...
That's a great buy. A LB No4 like that here in Canada would go north of C$1000.00.
Is this what you're looking for?

Great man. I just love his quotes. This is one of my favorites: "Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to...
33 out of 40. There were some toughies I missed, especially the Spanish conquistadors.
I noticed you're in SC so did you try Numrich Gun Parts in NY? They have most, if not all, of the parts you need. https://www.gunpartscorp.com/gun-manufacturer/smle/no-1-mkiii/parts-list-no-1?page=4
Given the condition it is in now, shooting it won't alter the value unless you shoot a couple thousand rounds through it. So, I would enjoy the rifle and shoot it if it was me.
Here's a picture of my chest.

The bottom line is about 24.625" long, the letters are 0.960" X 0.600", the bottom of the...
The letters on my C No7 chest are 0.960" high. I hope this helps in finding the right stencils, good luck.
The C No 7 chest I have is flat OD inside and out with a black felt strip along the top of the chest. White stenciled lettering on the front and back of the chest as follows: Chest Mk. 1 .22 in C...
