Savage No4 Mk1, NOT a 1*

[Bruce_in_Oz]

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 "fabricates
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.
"mazak" butt-plate.

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