    I’ve been fortunate enough to know the author of this article for sometime now, his knowledge and collection is nothing less than impressive, im indebted to him for fostering and humoring my understanding of Enfield’s and sometimes my slow uptake……..A Kyhber Pass knock off comes to mind!

    From No4 Mk I (T) to L42 AI

    snip....
    Cinders, I think you missed the point of the OP. I don't think your reply has anything to do with Savages?

    My 1942 dated Savage No4MkI "T" does not have a:

    TR, T, S, nor D6E ect.

    It does however wear a 1945 dated Enfield 5groove replacement barrel.

    (The rest of the article gets confusing because it has a section on how to spot a 'Fake' No4 (T) which is a different beast altogether.)
    Mention is made of Savage rifles being re-barreled with Britishicon made 5 groove barrels.
    That sounds strange as I thought H&H rejected anything out of speck.
    And if a rifle was chosen as having sniper potential, changing the barrel would be strange.
    ...snip...
    Terry's little primer on "spotting" "fake" No4 T's is ONLY applicable to BSA No4MkI rifles converted at H&H in 1944, '45 and '46.

    It really has little to no information on rifles converted at Enfield and H&H in 1941, '42 & '43 - and should not (never??) be used to refer to them...(Enfield, Maltby, Savage and BSA) in my (apparently) not so humble opinion...
