Savage Sniper

I see, I happened to just look at this photo and it looked like there was some denting on the front edge.

The 'staking' looks "odd" and would not be what I would consider to be 'functional staking' where the punch is not near the screw (in one instance) and having no effect on the other two screws.

Staking should include the screw slot to act as an anti-vibration 'lock'.

I picked up two sets but one is stamped E and 44 - never seen that before. Maybe Peter Laidler can tell us?Attachment 101392Attachment 101393
