The iconic Enfield .. Like all American gun makers, Savage was doing it's part for
the U.S. war effort during World War II. They made weapons, naturally, and most of
these were Thompson sub-machine guns, fifty caliber machine guns, thirty caliber
machine guns, various twelve gauge shotguns, and bomb fuses. Almost three million
items were turned out by the Savage Arms Company and it's divisions from 1941 to
1945.

Another weapon of war they produced was never issued to U.S. troops, British
battle rifles. From 1941 to 1944, Savage made a little more than one million rifles
for Great Britain through the Lend-Lease agreement.
This was to get as many rifles as possible to the U.K. without requiring the U.K. to
purchase the rifles. When Savage began building the rifles, the U.S.A. was not yet
at war, therefore the rifles are marked with US PROPERTY and had an US
Ordnance proof mark.

The rifle Savage produced was the Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.1, a British military design
that was adopted by the U.K. just a few years before World War II began.
It is a bolt action repeating rifle with a 10 round box magazine and free floating
barrel, and is chambered for the venerable Mk.VII ammunition in .303 caliber.
It has a three piece full length wood stock of either walnut or birch that has a
compartment in the butt stock for a cleaning kit.
These rifles featured a post front sight that is adjusted for windage and either flip
style rear aperture in 300/600 yard options, or a ladder-style rear aperture
graduated from 200 to 1300 yards. The bayonet is a small, lightweight steel spike
that attaches to the barrel. Typical accuracy is about 2.5MOA with standard 174gr
bullets at a muzzle velocity of 2550 fps.

All No.4 Mk.1 rifles were marked with codes signifying the builder. The parts that
were made and/or used by Savage are marked with a squared "S".
The serial number has a "C" to denote Chicopee Falls as it was made at the
Stevens factory in Chicopee Falls, MA. The serial numbers are located on the left
wrist and on the rear of the bolt handle.

This unit is in real nice 8 /10 refurbished condition..
