Savage No 4 Mark 1* Problem

pilotwithgun · Dec 29, 2020

Firing it today, the front sight fell off- just fell off. I put it back on- it pushed over the bayonet lug. Before I did that, I can see that there is a pin-way cut into the barrel and a pin directly under the front sight blade. Any insight into why this happened, how to properly re-install the front sight and prevent it from happening again?

Clearly defective. You can send it to me and I’ll dispose of it free of charge.

For serious tho, My no4 mk1 was soorterized so I can’t help much.

First type, replaced during service because of the flaw.

The Mk I style is split:

The Mk II is solid an a little taller.

Replace the pin an screw if missing. Easy fix.
