Lol.. Not meant to offend anyone and I ask questions because that's what new guys do.. But there are barely any new ads in this section. And there aren't a whole lot of new posts in ANY sections usually. I've made a couple new posts asking questions several days ago and got no response and the ones that do seem to be the same 4 or 5 guys all the time. Is this a really small group or is everyone just hibernating waiting for Spring ? Just curious.

Thanks. I wondered if it was like the hoarders on the Falfiles and nobody ever gets rid of anything. Some of those guys have 25 parts kits in the closet they "might build some day".. lol

I sell parts sometimes if I have extra to my needs.

NHBandit. 
Are you looking to buy something that one of us here might not need any longer?

Yep. I posted a WTB ad but likely not everyone has seen it. I just picked up a Savage No4 Mk1* that has been "Bubbafied" with the lower forearm being cut short and the top handguards tossed in the fire or where those get off to when guys made them into sporters. I have a NOS pair of Savage top wood and the front band coming from an Ebay seller in the UK. So at this point what I need the most is the forearm. I have the correct middle band but the sling swivel and screw are missing. And I have a Longbranch magazine that pitted and has a broken spring. Oddly enough the follower is S marked. Also missing the front sight protector & screw. The rest is in fine condition and all the bits that should be Savage marked seem to be. I'm into the rifle pretty cheap and would like to put it back the way it should be. Don't even care at this point who made the forearm as long as it's all there.  I hadn't thought about some stuff not being importable from Canada. Is it not allowed to send wood across the border ? I've heard of stranger things. Mine is serial number OC36xxx which should make it mid 1944 production if that matters. I'm VERY new at this since my main focus has been USGI stuff and FALs.

The import problem is more going from the US to Canada than vice-versa. I doubt wood would be a problem, but several times I've found parts for sale on a US site but they can't export to Canada because US laws.

The good news is that they rolled back the export restrictions a bit so, once they get used to it dealers will slowly open up again (I hope)!
This site is one of the few that isn't a life support system for a marketplace.

Numrich Gun Parts has the forestock.
You might not luck out and get everything matching with all Savage stamps. Get it as close to original as possible and worry about the finite points later when matching stuff makes itself available.

One of the first places I checked but thank you. It's coming up as "out of stock"

i used to buy and sell a lot - i had probably 100 no4s go in and out over the years till i had the ones i wanted to keep , easily as many no3 [p14s] and M17s as well , a couple i regret selling but i have the ones i really wanted to keep , Cno7 - at one time i had three , a Cond II - i once had two , a charnwood no4 conversion to 308 - i miss that one , a set of indians = mo1 mk3/2A/2A1/410 in brit'and 410 in US and all the bayonets , they went to a young collector years ago just getting started , i let those go because i didnt think id find the paki no 4 to go with them , 

i sold all of my loose parts except a few no 4 bits that i came across the other day , nothing serious left , swivels and barrel bands and a couple odd screws , if i had what you needed id send it to you , 

i parted with my entrenching tools , extra webb bits , oilers , binoculars , compass and other accoutrements quite a while ago , have a couple bits for inglis holsters like an insert for the mag pouch for a 51 webb example but nothing anyone would really want , 

if i find anything in my boxes when i get them unpacked i will list them here ,

I came across an ad on one of our Canadian guns for sale sites, a fellow is making new cnc`d forearms and uppers, not cheap though, and are supposed to be drop in replacements?
Maybe if you search these sites you may have some luck.
But most of the for sale NOS wood is coming out of the UK right now, and of course fairly dear as well.
good luck and let us know what you discover, cheers

Agree about the prices and the UK being the best option. I ordered NOS front and rear upper handguards from a guy over there already. $35 bucks shipped for NOS Savage wood seemed fair enough. The lower forearm though is proving to be a challenge. The usual US sources Apex, Numrich, Sarco, Liberty Tree, etc all "had" some but are all showing them "out of stock". I'm hoping someone here might have bought more than they needed and see this post.
