    Question Early Savage

    While doing a little mid winter bore cleaning, I took note of my Savage #4 Mk I*, it has serial # 1C845X. It has all the looks of an early rifle. I installed a style #1 Mic sight (F marked) for shooting reasons but kept the S marked flipper. The gun shoots an easy 3.5" group with the flipper and figured I might get it down a tad with the better sight. The gun is near mint and completely S marked. Could anyone tell me where the cut off is for the mic style sight? MT-SDH

    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.

    The rifle is a Mk. I*, and not a Mk. I? What is the receiver date? There has been discussion of the Savage contract rifles at w ww.gunboards.com. You might want to check there.

    Yes it as the splat, I can't figure that one out. I also can't find a date but my book points to 1942. Go figure? If time allows I'll hit the gunboards and see what pops up, Many Thanks-SDH

    The earlier Savages were date stamped, but I don't know the serial range when this was discontinued, or for that matter when the Mk. I sight was phased out and the Mk. II became standard. I suspect that this is a rather early I*.
