    Someone has turned it into a "small ring" enfield by reducing the receiver ring to the torque shoulder diameter of the barrel.

    I've got one from a friend's estate - the ones here supposedly were sent to Lever Arms in Vancouver as sales samples (late 1980s?)- I've heard somewhere between 20 and 100 total.

    I've seen cases...

    Interesting I ran across that same rifle in my travels today- strange that PH seems to have used that serial number sequence with both the mauser style ejector block and the Midland style.

    By serial number the rifle you're referring to will be a Youville castings 1200 type action with the m84/85/86 screwed on bolt release.

    So a Mauser 98 commercial action with the Midland style bolt...

    R-23600 would be right in the prime C3 serial number range.

    Too funny I have a few 1k boxes of primers price marked as $9.95/k.

    I've been going thru this since the early 90s so I learned my lesson by 1996 - I am unlikely to run out of primers...ever.

    Your rifle was "fully converted". The part that included Jigs was the attachment of the base pads to the receiver.

    "T" on the receiver is not universal. On a 1941/1942 Savage No4T the presence or...

    I would think that it wouldn't be that difficult to convert any Sterling to a closed bolt by simply installing the trigger group and the bolt.

    If the US requirement to make it irreversable were...

    The front receiver ring is too long to be an m84/86/87 action. Also the top bar extends too far to the right side.

    It would be nice to see better photos, but it looks like an M85 action (extended front receiver ring) which has had the rear sight wings and possibly well removed.

    In my estimation if a Savage No4T has a "T", "TR" or the cutoff "S", the markings have been added later.

    : wouldn't a Savage No4T butt stock pre-date the serial marking under the socket shelf?
