Is Dad's rifle a Springfield M2?

[marc45acp]

Hi All- I inherited a rifle that my Dad always called "an Army .22 on a Springfield stock". He had it since the early 50's, before I was born. From what I've been reading here I think it is a Springfield M2, at least the bolt and magazine have that marking. Can anyone tell me where the serial number would be? The barrel has a SA cartouch and date of 7-34. Is this a M2 or something sporterized when he got it? Many thanks for any information.
With any luck three photos are attached!
