Savage No.4 Mk.I* Restoration

[Alan de Enfield]

That's wonderful that he had you to assist, but unless we are told that in advance (and the 'brothers' experience), when someone implies they are not used to working on Enfield's it is surely beholden on us to ensure they work and shoot safely and give them advice to assist them in their re-fit.

This does not suggest any experience ..................


Many years ago, perhaps at my first or second Tulsa, my brother and I picked up a pile of Enfield barreled actions; among them a few Indian SMLE variants and a No.4 Mk.I* by Savage. All of them are/were a little threadbare, finish-wise, but otherwise sound. And in a box they sat for many years until this summer, when I got the urge to do a build. So long story short, I am working restoring this No.4. Full disclosure No.4's aren't my favorite Enfield types,
