Savage no 4 mk 1

[tlvaughn]

So Ive been given a Savage built no 4 mk 1 1941 sn# oc 150. The wood is sporterized but it still has full barrel, and is all matching numbers. How rare is this gun? Id like to put it back to full wood, but the savage marked stuff seems pretty rare. I will get some pics up if anyone wants to see some.

I recall reading somewhere that Savage completed 1,325 rifles by the end of 1941 (but I have seen 1941 dated rifles as high as 0C2904), so based on the fact that Savage made 1.2 million No4 rifles, a 1941 dated rifle only accounted for approx. 0.11% to 0.24% of the total production (depending on if you use 1,325 or 2,904).

Yes, Skennerton uses this number for that time period.
