Great Job! Any "before" pics? I like your paint. What brand/Color number is that? Thanks!

Nice work !  A nicely done early Savage/Stevens . I like these rifles ( almost as much as my Longbranch ) My son laid claim to my '43 Savage , so we will get into quite the discussion about it (which is best )usually leads to a shootout .... at the range . He stands 2" taller than me now , but this is where I can still spank him...lol Word of caution.. Your sling is on backwards . The brass should be on the inside . When the wire holders face the rifle they will scratch the stocks. I also noted the oversized battlepeep on the Mklll rearsight sight , Is there any stamps on it ? Savage bayo too ?

Although I like the non blued look, that's a really nice rifle...great job! Has it be parkerized, did you sand off the old stain, or just strip it and refinish it?

Removed blueing and then parkerized. Stock was stripped and degreased a few times then sanded and refinished (It was pretty bad). Stock was finished with Poly but I should have just used boiled lindseed oil for a more original look. I wanted parkerizing even though it's not an original type of finish. I think it looks great too! Thanks
