Greetings,
I was at my local gunshow this weekend and my favorite dealer had a rifle I just couldn't pass up. A numbers matching 1943 Savage Enfield with a mint 2-groove barrel.
My question concerns all of the bands and other little bits on the gun. I always thought Savage didn't make all the small parts, but every piece on my gun that has any marking has a little "s" stamped on it. Is it common to find guns like this?
Also, my gun has an odd straight stacking hook added to the front band, where did it pick that up? The gun has not been to India, is has no Ishy screw in the beautiful walnut stock
.
Took it out to the range yesterday and was rewarded with an honest 1" group @ 100yards with the simple flip rear site. Granted it took me about 25 rounds to get a real feel for the gun, and the sites are off a bit, but I'm pretty darn impressed by my latest purchase. I've seen the prices of Savages climbing, so I think I did alright for $200
