    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 "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.
    "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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Early Savage was Mk1. Several Savage Mk1s have been found converted to T specs by Holland & Holland but never scoped.

    Someone brought one of these into my LGS down in Texas just before I moved... Unfortunately someone had chopped it up and turned it into a No5 Jungle Carbine. At first glance it was a really nice No5. But once I got a good look at it and realized what it was the reality hurt.
