I believe the MK1 and MK1* use a "tie plate or bar" where as the MK1/2 use a bolt. The stock that I have asked about is a compete stock for a MK1/2 or Mk2 using the threaded bolt or screw at the rear of the forearm to allow the MK2 receiver to fit the forearm. The butt stock and upper forearm parts are no different than those of the MK1 orMK1* ( to my eye that is). The stock is walnut, it is clearly marked with the Savage S in a square on the metal forearm tip and the bottom of the grip portion of the butt stock.
My problem is that, as I understand it, Savage ceased production of the NO 4 rifle sometime in 1944, the MK1/2, MK1/3, MK2 conversion started some time in 1949. The stock I have is not a MK1,MK1* that has had the wood removed from the rear of the forearm, and patched to allow the use of a bolt instead of the tie bar to accommodate the MK2 trigger. It is a actual stock whose original design and cut was for the MK2 trigger system. The information I can find relates to Savage Arms and production of the NO4 MK1*from 1941to 1944, with no mention of anything to do with the conversion or manufacture of any parts or stocks for the MK1/2, MK/3 conversion or the original MK2.
If I knew how I would post pictures here. If you would like to contact me with e-mail I will gladly supply them. I ope this clears up any issues about my question.

Thank You
