Asking for an older guy here. He's trying to figure out the origin and possible year but to me the rifle looks pretty scrubbed. He sent me the photos so this is all I have to work with. Thanks guys and sorry

Savage enfield, No4 Mk 1*, probably 1943-1944,

I see Parker Hale on there- so it was converted to a sporter postwar , by a reputable company. Not some bubba job. Is the barrel full length or has it been cut?

 

[7.62xfun]

He said parker hale with 18.5 bbl. Appreciate the help he was pretty happy with that much info

The "C" in the serial number gives it away, as does the square "S" on the receiver rail.

Made by Savage quite close to the end of their contract. They made about a million rifles and this is Number 947415.

Savage made over 1 million No4s

they ran out of numbers 99C9999 and then they used 5 digits after the C ie.. 0C###xx

but yes its a Savage, and its not been FTR but it has been sporterized, barrel does it have 5 lands and grooves?

 

[7.62xfun]

Couldn't tell you that much boss. All the info he gave me was parkerhale with an 18.5 bbl and the photos

 

[woodchopper]

I suspect that it is a new barrel not the original.

a 94C Savage would have originally had a 2 groove barrel.
