I know the Savage S you mean, but this is very different; I'll try to get some pictures tonight as there some other markings I am interesting in knowing more about.

Morning all,

I was strip cleaning my bolt the other day and noticed some markings which I've not seen before; one in particular was on the reverse side of the bolt handle and looks like a number...

Hey guys, had a look a the firing pin tonight - need to get some finer grit paper I think but it's a vast improvement - difficult to get the camerato focus but you can see the difference!

Ahhh, interesting, looking at the primer on fired cases I can see rough marks (like the firing pin on the left). I shall have a Google about polishing. Is there a factory spec for firing pin...

Hey, I've just grabbed the vernier - quick measurements:

Primers ok - 2.225 2.212 2.214 .2.224

Primers holed 2.224 2.224

Really weird, the case lengths look the same if you're...

Morning all,

Took my No4 to Bisley (UK) yesterday to put some rounds down on the ETR - shot 25 rounds and out of those, two had holed primers. Have done some research and a huge thread started by...

Hey Guys,

So based on my results using the gauges, does it sound like my barell has some decent shooting life left in it? Looking down the bore the rifling is lovely and sharp also.

From what I can tell of reading, they should not rattle through....the .307 should not go into the muzzle more than 1/4" and it does not - it just sits in, probably slightly less than 1/8" inch. The...

Ahh, so that would have happened on it's trip back to the US! Thanks!

Had some bore gauges arrive today, so off to have a measure shortly - just need to find the post which says how the .307 and...

Does anyone know the background on the proof marks my rifle has on the muzzle? Would that be a normal place to stamp? It's an NP stamp, which is London Proof House I believe, is that normal on a US...

Do you keep records :-D 65C8920

On my rifle, the "B" under the serial is the inspection mark in Britain before it would have gone into service yes?

Yes, I thought that when I saw the CAI stamp! I assume CAI wouldn't have imported it back to the UK when they were "handed back" to the US? (the CAI stamp is much later yes?)

Yes, she's a shooter!

In the UK (for target) as long as you belong to an appropriate club you can have most centrefire rifles, but the only semi-auto rifles we can own are rim fire. For...

It seems to cycle fine, but I can see what you mean - there does seem to be some roughness when you look at the pic.

Evening all from across the pond! Been finding this forum an excellent source of info, so I thought I'd share some pics of my newly acquired No.4.

It was purchased from a shooting buddy of mine,...
