SAVAGE MKIII Prototype

[Peter Laidler]

Knowing how the procurent system works (or doesn't work, depending on your view.....) then if there was an official requirement for something like this then there would b a paper trail in the Ordnance Directives - and there ain't!

If it was tried and /or tested by the UK Military, it'd have been done at Hythe and be logged somewhere - but it ain't

If it was something suggested by a private company or individual and considered suitable for submission to the Ordnance Boad, then that'd be mentioned in the relevant Ordnance Board procedures - and there ain't.

I suppose it could have been some other nation asked Savage to look into a conversion programme, but British or British contact, it ain't

Just my view

Here we go again. Has anyone contacted Savage about this at all? As they weren't subject to bombing throu 2 world wars if any records are there then they could still be around.

Savage records were destroyed in a post WWII flood.

Well that was bloody careless of them.
