Good afternoon all. Just received a L/E. I’ve been pouring through this site looking for help identifying the marks. I attached several pictures to help. It appears that it it a Savage, but the L A on the receiver has me stumped. As well as the other marks.

Also, to what extent should I go to clean this? Obviously I’m not going to do anything abrasive, but should I disassemble and thoroughly clean to minimize corrosion? I hear there should be marks under the barrel, but I’m a bit nervous about marring it during disassembly.

I did read the cleaning section and Murphys Oil Soap was my first instinct.
