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.
