Governments.Under the new agreement the British had less control in the initial inspection and refusal of rifles conditions for payment were changed also which further reduced some of the controls Britain previously had. In the initial Savage production, many rifles were rejected by the British inspectors this was not properly resolved until a Lend-Lease agreement was formulated between the British and U.S. (Please read as I actually typed it all in!): of Ian Skennerton's 'The Lee-Enfield Story'British approval was required for such changes and manufacturing concessions to components because a sizeable percentage of the Long branch rifles and virtually all the Stevens-Savage rifles were to fill British orders, and were therefore subject to acceptance by the British Inspectorate. In an effort to start a truly congenial and intellectual discussion on a topic I thought I would submit the following in which I partly based my earlier comments. Chris Cooper as 'Tom Smith' in the Movie 'Seabiscuit'Edited by - theleftboot on 1:22:59 PM. All accesories are either South African made or issued, or Savage made.Download Attachment:288.8 KBDownload Attachment:285.88 KB'You don't throw away a whole life just cause he's banged up a little.' Now keeping track of that serial number range would be cool as well.Edit- The above paragraph has now been debunked but I have kept it in order for the postings below to make sense.EDIT- Here are two pics. WIll post pics sometime.BTW- The first several thousand were NEVER (Not 'scrubbed') marked 'U.S. My 1942 Savage No.4 MK I (not I.) is 5C80XX. Wonder if Savage was using up some surplus receivers held back as parts? Does anyone else have a MKI with a serial number higher than 13C2752. Be sure that the year is not scrubbed off.One Savage #4 MKI, serial number 17C5233, 1942 date, has turned up. Note: we have an overlap between 1943 dated and no date rifles, need more observations in the 51Cxxxx to 60Cxxxx range. Here is what I have seen so far and picked up from another forum.Īll are marked US PROPERTY unless noted. I know, as an author, that rifles are not completed in strict numerical order but perhaps we can narrow down the ranges.
Keep your eyes open and we can fill in more of the gaps.With the numbers of Savage #4s turning up at shows in the US perhaps it is time to try to refine some of the serial number ranges. Thanks for the responses and as promised here is an updated list.
