Thanks for the input, it is a No4Mk1* that came with the micro sight when my father bought it.
I appreciate the diagram of the sights - thanks. Just wondering what the S infont of the No4Mk1* stands for? This was the first firearm my father bought me so I won't sell it, but what is the value? Beautiful bluing and good bore but it has a Frankenstein stock- small sections of wood replaced and different woods for the forearm and butt stock. I would like to have a complete matching stock but finding such an animal has been impossible.

the "S" would be for Savage arms who made the rifle. During the rifles lifetime it was quite common for repairs to be made to the woodwork. Quite often on the butt stock due to damage caused by arms drill practice etc. It's all part of the history. If part's have been replaced in service they would not necessarily be matched; it was more about function than style!

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

Depending on things like bore condition, matching numbers & so on its worth between $450 ~550 at today's prices in this area (MD)

"...From the images it is a
someone has to play tony or the heathens remain uneducated , we are after all a site that says we provide enfield info , if he continues to use the wrong nomenclature he never learns the 'proper' origins of his rifle , we do care about that here , just like telling him why its a savage or anything else
