    Savage Enfield

    Purchased Savage Enfield No 4, Mk 1 (S with exploding bomb). The issue is the serial number does not have the letter C in it. The serial number is 10885. Any ideas. I was told that it was brought back after WWII by the soldier that used it. Thanks for any help.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    tmac: Go to the third "sticky" from the bottom on the Lee Enfield forum page and follow the instructions for uploading photos. If you can save it on your harddrive you can easily upload and attach but you have to keep the image size below 1MB.

    An English friend found info and thinks it was made in Maltby, Yorkshire Englandicon. Apparently Savage sent parts to two factories in England during WW II and these did not have the C in the serial number.
    Thanks for your ideas and help.

    Sounds like a historically interesting rifle, could we have some pics?

    T/mac, tell your friend that they didn't send rifle bodies to Englandicon as spare parts
