Another way for the later ones is the lack of recess/cut-out for the bolt head catch. If one had been cut later in its life, you can usually see the chisel marks where it's been modified. You certainly could on my feeble attempts! I seem to remember that Canadian fore-ends were very full at the rear around the tie plate.
We always identified the Savage/US fore-ends by the horizontal milling (or slitting saw) method of recessing them out. Does anyone know if this was always the Sav/US style? If not, when was it introduced?

I had some new condition, late production Savage forends a few years ago that were never fitted. They all lacked the lower Trials type cut out on the right side and the internal lightening cuts were done with the slitting saw just like the early ones.
