2 with all the serial numbers still coinciding, which is rare. You will probably be able to get just under R1.
To the OP, do you perhaps know the model? A good condition Lee Enfield can fetch around to R1.īut that is at a gun shop.
9 MKI*s in the 13Cxxxx to 15Cxxxx have the bases installed.BSA. Savage snipers or unfinished snipers(mount bases only, no 'T' stamped, may have cheekpiece.)ġ941 dated rifles - 10 noted, 3 are complete snipers with 'T' markings and scope numbers on stock, 6 have the bases installed, 1 is a standard rifle.ġ942 dated rifles - 3 MKIs in the 0C3xxx to 0C5xxx range have the bases installed. The last Savage was produced 22 June 1944.Īll Savages with 5 digits after the C were made in 1944, probably between sometime in April and end of production in June. The one millionth Savage was presented to Brig. Some had US PROPERTY and other marks scrubbed when they went into service. Lend Lease legislation was passed 11 March 1941 while the first Savage(0C1?) was finished 22 July 1941 so it appears that all Savages were marked US PROPERTY. Success! We now have a gap of only 93 at the change over point!ģ6C19xx to 38C26xx for 1942 - 43 changeover.ĥ1Cxxxx to 60Cxxxx for changeover to no date.ĠCxxxxx - any serial number with 5 digits following the C ie:- 0C30228 Need rifles in the following serial # ranges to further narrow the gaps.ĠC28xx to 0C38xx for 1941 - 42 changeover.ġ3C27xx to 13C28xx for MKI - MKI* change over. It appears that around 132,800 MKIs were made. It appears that 3,000+ rifles were serial numbered in 1941 but according to Skennerton only 1,325 were completed (accepted?) OC1 was converted to a sniper and is shown in Skennerton's book. I have added some serial number observations about Savage snipers and unfinished snipers.ġ3C2752 - 1942 MKI highest MKI # 1942 dateġ3C2845 - 1942 MKI* lowest MKI* # 1942 dateģ6C1916 - 1942 MKI* highest MKI* # 1942 dateĥ1C7693 - no date lowest MKI* # with no dateĠC63110 - no date highest MKI* # with no date
Wonder if Savage was using up some surplus receivers held back as parts? Or? Does anyone else have a MKI with a serial number higher than 13C2752. One Savage #4 MKI, serial number 17C5233, 1942 date, has turned up. Be sure that the year is not scrubbed off. 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. I know, as an author, that rifles are not completed in strict numerical order but perhaps we can narrow down the ranges. 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. Keep your eyes open and we can fill in more of the gaps. Thanks for the responses and as promised here is an updated list.
