-And milsurps can get pretty confusing. A rifle might be contracted by South Africans to be built in Germany, get actually built in Austria, and wind up in Chile. Or Bolivia.
It’s a strange rifle. It’s a Savage built No4 Mk1,but it’s only marked No4 Mk , 1942.
The wrist socket was scrubbed and remarked. It’s a fully functional rifle. Here are some pics.
I also had to update my list to add Iraq.

Palolosj Are you sure I thought New York seceded from the union and became a socialist country or am I thinking of California,
Then again maybe I'm reading into the future.
It's pretty much what happened to my 1895 Mauser short rifle.You Lie, nothing that crazy could happen Could it???

Mauser built rifles for Turkey, They are considered a Turkish rifle. The Finns captured rifles from Russia and marked them with the Finn [SA] army stamp, they are considered Finn rifles.Thats pretty cool, I would count that as US.
Ive wanted a Savage Enfield for a looooooong time, but just cant stomach adding .303 to my ammo dump. Someday, Ill pony up for a BSA .22, though!
That reminded me to change my Englishman to an Indian, its a .410 Ishapore.....
I have a Colombian Mauser. I’ll have to take a picture of it.GunnyUSMC
Curious as to what you have that was Made in Colombia?
Correct. But this is the only NZ marked rifle I’ve ever had my hands on.Yep. But it is a rack rifle for training, not an issue rifle for an individual soldier or trainee. Thus it falls under a different accounting system, which requires a different set of markings..
I've only had it for just over two years, haven't had the time to get around to shooting it.So have shot this DP??? What does the bore look like???
FAL....maybe..... but I have a real problem with that unprotected rear sight just hanging out in the breeze. Waiting to be dropped on a hard surface and being bent or broken. It's amusing the way the Army kept changing the rules in the middle of the game while moving the goal posts at the same time.... until they finally found a way for the T-44 ( M-14 ) to beat the T-48 (FAL). The G-3? Forget it. Horrible trigger, empties ejected so forcefully they can and did occasionally injure the soldier to your right. Even worse that a 14 on full auto. Doesn't tell the firer it's empty. No thanks.Were the FAL and G3 generally superior to the M14, yep.
Seriously?I'm hard pressed to think of a foreign company that could make a revolver as good as a Colt or Smith& Wesson.
I've seen a Korth, way over my price point, more of a custom gun and while I've never handled or shot one I doubt if the quality, fit and finish could be better than my Colt Python or a M27 Smith.
In addition for the price of a Korth you should be able to swap out barrels like on my Dan Wesson.
