    Savage No4 (T) Register

    Hi all,

    Firstly apologies if this already exists, I did a quick search but couldn’t find a list of savage No4 t, what I did find was a surprising number of people telling me they don’t exist. A renouned gun smith who is no stranger to enfields recently said he had never seen a real save No4(t).

    Having recently acquired one, I am keen to reach them, initially starting by building but a list of existing rifles.

    If you are happy to please reply with:
    Rifle S/N (or as much as you are happy to share)
    Scope S/N
    Notes, e.g. current state, precision scope numbers, if it is a known Less Scope.
    And a photo or two, particularly of any conversion markings.

    With this data

    Maybe if update is sufficient this may become a sticky?

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.

    Is there a scope number on the wrist?

    1941 Mk1 0C3XX 6 groove barrel. Matching bolt. Woodwork original Savage 4T wood but from another Savage rifle. Forend serialled 8866 (?C8866) & butt bears S51 in usual place & scope number 6707.

    1942 Mk1* 12C93XX Replacement Britishicon 5 groove barrel & walnut forend. S51 in usual place. Less Telescope rifle.

    1942 Mk1* 14C02XX Original 2 groove barrel & woodwork. S51 in usual place. Originally fitted with scope serial number 7386 (already missing when I acquired the rifle).

    I'm only thinking out loud here, but I wonder if there may be a tendency for the Less Telescope rifles to be the ones that got replacement 5 groove barrels & often replacement forends as well? I have seen one or two LT rifles that bear replacement front woodwork as well as replacement tubes. And on the other hand the unaltered 2 groover Mk1* rifles may tend to be the rifles that were completed with telescopes. It will be interesting to see what trends emerge, assuming some do! I have a pal who has a scoped up 2 grove Mk1* T so I'll try & get his data as well.

    Roger: I agree with your hypothesis that a particular subset of these rifles received new barrels and new fore ends from H&H. I say that because my 14C series less scope rifle has both. You would only know the fore end replacement if you knew where to look for serial numbers.

    No--wood is not original, though the cheekpiece seems to be.
