no4 enfield with new wood

[Parashooter]

Hard to tell for certain from overall photos, but I suspect the wood is stained birch, not beech. This would be consistent with a significant portion of Savage production. Close pictures of curved areas of butt and forestock could enable positive identification. (Beech exhibits prominent medullary ray structures normally lacking in birch.)
