New Look at Mark 4 #1* [T] After Reading "An Armourer's Perspective"

[Brian Dick]

I think a lot of Savage spare parts were shipped along with complete rifles in '42-'43. I've seen several ROF Maltby rifles with Savage parts installed during new production. I've tried to talk some guys out of changing them because they think they're incorrect on a British production rifle. The same holds true for Long branch rifles produced after the end of Savage production in 1944. They shipped all of the remaining spares to Long Branch where they were used in new rifle production. Would it simply be a case of using spares as requisitioned? If they got a box of Savage Mk.1 rear sights, then modify and use them. I wouldn't change them. They're probably right as rain.

Since the scope is off for overhaul I shot the Enfield without. The S rear sight worked well, looks within requirements for group size. I tinkered with front sight also to bring strike to the right with some success. I include a pic of target. Disregard the Gibbs target it's just part of picture. One of the shooters was using a diopter on his glasses and said it helped with the focus on front sight and target. Has anyone used this device or have a comment? thanks for all the info.
