Built by Savage Arms in the United States for wartime aid, this No.4 Mk I* carries clear U.S. PROPERTY markings that identify it as a Lend-Lease rifle. The C-prefix serial range ties it to the Chicopee Falls factory and the 1943–1944 production window.
Chambered in .303 British with a 25.2 in barrel and a 10-round detachable magazine, it retains the No.4’s charger-loading capability via the receiver bridge. The rear-locking action uses a turn-down bolt handle and the correct cock-on-closing operation, with a receiver-mounted lever safety.
Sighting equipment matches the period configuration: a protected front blade and a rear aperture sight. The rifle wears two-piece top handguards and a hardwood stock fitted with sling swivels; length of pull measures 13.0 in.
Classic No.4 features are present, including the squared front-sight protector and bayonet boss for the included spike bayonet. The rifle also bears the C.A.I. GEORGIA VT import mark along with the caliber marking. This is a straightforward, U.S.-made No.4 Mk I* with the right wartime details and markings.
