I knew of some of these types of rifles and mentioned in the book that they were out there. At that kind of money a letter is definitely needed. I doubt if it's a leftover EG or R barrel. It has the later front sight held on by screws plus the EG and R barrels would have square threads not compatible with a post mil receiver. David

With Savage never say never.
For a copy of my book on engraved Savage lever actions rifles send a check for $80 to; David Royal, p.o. box 1271, Pinedale, Wy., 82941. I will sign and inscribe the book for you.
