Savage No4 Mk1* 1942 - can't ID some markings

For the competition sight, try googling "Central sights"

The NZ rack number is stamped in addition to the original serial number.

Looks like the stock was shaved for a Central/Centrol sight base. Ron(Canada)

Thanks for the info. So the sight would have been something like this?


Thank you to all who commented. This is my first LE, still trying to work out these darned charger clips (top round keeps rimming-over!). I'd love a Lithgow as I'm not far from there, but haven't seen any in shops lately that would make good shooters.

I watched Riflechair's sighting in video the other day, and am looking forward to making some time to scientifically sight the rifle in.

If you're wanting to fix a no.4 rifle Central mounting plate to your rifle flick me a PM as I have a couple sitting around here somewhere.

I'm certainly not as experienced as others on this board, but I had a similar experience with the last round on mine. It wound up being the magazine. A little adjustment with a pair of pliers and it fed the last round fine.

Sorry about that, I didn't fully read the original post. Didn't realize you were talking about the last round being loaded via the charger rather than the last round coming out of the magazine...
