The Savage Model 4 and it's variants were made made from 1933 to 1965. I can find no reference to a "4C", but the following information applies to the Model 4S...
As for finding any factory literature or an owners manual for a Savage this old - good luck! Unless you stumble across something at a gunshow you probably won't ever find anything. Finding any information/literature for Savage's made before 1960 is extremely difficult as the company changed hands a number of times between 1900 and 1960. Model 99 centerfire's and Model 23 rimfires's are about the only exceptions (by a small margin) due to having a small cult-like following of collectors, and info for them is still very limited."The Model 4S is the same as the Model 4 rifle except for the sighting equipment. The open rear sight on the barrel is omitted and the barrel slot filled with a dovetail blank base. Front sight is a hooded peep of Savage design with three interchangeable inserts - flat top post, bead, and peep. This is neatly mounted on a ramp base dovetailed into the barrel. The detachable hood must be used with this sight as the hood holds the inserts in place. The rear sight is a receiver peep of Savage design using a large eye disc with a special plate on the face of the disc having three sizes of apertures which may be moved to expose the desired size instantly."
