Hi Michael....I had a look, even with a magnifying glass and nothing seems to be there!

That is interesting, particularly as yours is irrefutable.

I stand to be corrected......had another look today and yes the T within the circle is there. Took a closeup picture with my cell and then enlarged it......wonderful things "sometimes" those phones!!

Anyhow was going to post the picture but they changed how you post pictures since the last time I posted pictures, can't figure it out so I gave up.

Hello Michael. Sorry I've been a little slow to respond, but tonight I had a look at the three rifles for the markings on either side of the bolt way on the rear of the body. (None have a receiver side wall T). As follows:

1941 0C3XX LHS bolt way - nothing. RHS bolt way - Upside down stamped 'T' within a circle. US ordnance flaming bomb.

1942 12C93XX LHS bolt way - nothing. RHS bolt way - stamped letter 'P'.

1942 14C02XX LHS bolt way - nothing. RHS bolt way - either a figure '8' or possibly a US ordnance flaming bomb. Poorly stamped.
- just 'round the corner' on very top edge of RHS butt socket is an Enfield examiner's stamp. Crown/7?/E. I really can't say
what the letter is after the '7', & am not sure about the 'E' but think that is most likely. Again, poorly stamped.

Thanks, the Roger.
The t on the RHS of the bolt track is starting to sound so quite common on the 0CXXXs.

[Micheal Doyne]

Thanks very much TGJ,
I have added that data in. Sounds like a nice rifle. Your illegible mark in a circle may well be the same t stam found to some degree on most 0CXXX rifles I’ve seen so far.

In Skennerton's book, there is a pic of 0C1 and it's a T.

[Micheal Doyne]

Thanks, yes that seems to be the only one even the die hard “no savage t rifles where ever completed with scopes” agree was a t.
