indochinavet Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Yes both your vertical grip and buttstock on this 17k Savage appears to be Colt ones, the shape of the grip and its lack of marking are very strong indicators. For the buttstock, the lack of sling swivel and possibly an anchor mark on the front section below the buttstock latch would be the confirmation. Well I know now my stock and hardware is correct...Its triple matching .My pistol grip may or may not be correct and the foregrip is not marked with an Sand maybe its wood that was supposed to go on a Colt?

gijive Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) Indochinavet, The front pistol is definitely a Colt grip, but the buttstock is Savage made. Only the earliest Savage buttstocks had the assembly number stamped in three places (wood, butt plate, and slide latch). They stopped numbering the slide latches as production increased with the demand for guns as WWII progressed. Remington made Colt buttstocks did not have the assembly number stamped on the slide latch. Edited September 5, 2018 by gijive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
