So i got a sketch of it. I think it means : matchgrade barrel but it is normally
on .308 Win. converted barrels. On the picture you can see a screw in the forestock. Is this made by Savage? I`ve only know these screw from the No. 5.

Thank you in advance

Cannot comment on the C but this rifle looks to have seen time in India. It looks to have been FR'd by the Ishapore factory and the infamous "Ishapore Screw" (thats the screw in the forend) added.
Mind you - A person whose 'in the know' does say that this screw was added at other Factories as well so who knows where it been.
