The magazine on my Savage No. 4 is marked with my rifle’s serial number. The Savage magazine that’s currently for sale on eBay is also marked with a rifle’s serial number. I mentioned it to make him aware that Savage did stamp the rifle’s serial numbers on their magazines. If it’s important to him to not have mixed serial numbers, and it’s possible that not all were marked, then he’ll know to keep looking for a Savage magazine that doesn’t have serial numbers. What about Savage replacement magazines? They wouldn’t have serial numbers, right? Finding one might be difficult.
Edit: My No. 4 was missing a few minor external parts when I bought it several years ago. I found everything I needed on eBay or from dealers in the US, but I noticed several UK dealers who were selling large quantities of various unused NOS Lee Enfield parts that I didn’t need on eBay. Maybe they’re still around. A continuing search on eBay can be done for anything and be notified when something desirable gets posted.

Go to Marstar, not E-Bay. (Marstar doesn't fund the people who want to take your firearms away from you. E-Bay does that.) Front sight blades are $7.50Cdn.($5.70USD) each. No idea if there are border issues. Kind of doubt it, but I don't know for sure.

However, finding Savage made parts will likely be an issue. None made since 1944.
Remington made '03A3 parts shouldn't be too difficult. Only other maker was Smith-Corona. All remaining parts, etc, were sent to Long Branch when the Contract ended.
Keep in mind that putting in original manufacturer parts does not make the thing "all original". It's still a rebuild.

Spelling and grammar count!
Thanks for the advice, I will check marstar.

Sarco would be another place to look at. www.sarcoinc.com
All the remaining Savage parts and rifles were sent to Long Branch when the Savage contract ended. That should have been up a line. snicker.

Savage did not number magazines at the factory.
If your looking for Savage specific parts, also check Apex Gun Parts. They ended up with a vast quantity of the parts from Springfield Sporters.

Here’s a Savage mag without the S/N. I checked with the seller.
So, I’ve seen several Savage mags that had the rifle S/Ns stamped on them. They’re always the same. XXC over XXXX and they are always stamped in the middle of the base. Who would have done it?
Usually the Brits or S Africans, especially when the rifle went through an FTR or upgrade to No4Mk1/3
