2 groove barrel on No.4 Mk1 Savage

[Brian Dick]

Yep, they were marked on top of the breech with a variety of "U-Broad Arrow" ownership marks. Some big and distinctive, some small but distinctive if you look close!

I kept one ROF Fazakerley that was FTR in S/A service too because it had the most lovely bluing I'd ever seen on a no.4! I've never had it out of the stock but it may have a DOW barrel for all I know.

I hope I don't get in trouble again about ownership marks!

No, I think he is long gone - came, didn't hear what the wanted to hear and has now gone.

All SA owned rifles I have seen (albeit not as many as you) have had pretty clear U-Ownership markings, as the OP didn't mention one I assumed (makes an AS* out of U and ME) that it was not an Ex SA rifle.
