Its is Mod1 - it was worth a try even if you couldn't use them.
When I ask the mechanical engineers at my office they claim that the strength of the single teeth is more important unless much larger gears are used (on steel gears). If so then that's the reason why the bullet proof diffs have 9 teeth compared to the stock 13 on the Savage - I think it is claimed to have the same steel and degree of hardening?

I have used from 9t up to 25t Mod1 pinions from Mike, depending on application, and never ripped any of them. I would guess that the shape of the teeth is extremely important, but my transmission design knowledge is very limited.
