    Savage No4 Mk1, NOT a 1*

    Spotted one of these today.

    Clearly marked as a Mk1 and built like one.
    Not "collector grade", but seems to be correctly marked.
    Bore looks good, but I didn't bore-scope it.
    Has been a "range rifle" at some time; some minor "adjustments" and marks from where a Central sight base has been fitted at some time..
    Mismatched bolt body.
    Very early "sculpted" (like a Mk6) cocking piece
    No3 bolt-head with odd "copper" colouration in spots.
    Fore-end band is the early "machined" type, not "fabricated".
    Rear hand-guard has the "grasping grooves.
    All the timber seems to be of the one type. NOT walnut; something "blonde" and straight grained.
    Safety lever spring retaining screw needs tightening.
    "mazakicon" butt-plate.

    I'll get the details of "price and availability".
    Information

    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.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...
