From what I can gleen, the Navy NM & presentation match rifles with true 7.62 sleeved or unsleeved barrels are a special breed of Garandicon. With as much as has been written on the Garand I am surprised not much info is available on the navy post WW2 conversions. Even here as I read these responses and others on the net there tends to be a lot of speculation on rifle builds.

Is there a list of rifle SN's that the Navy converted to presentation match & NM team rifles? If that were posted somewhere it would clear the air in what is real & what is fake. I keep searching and find spatterings if information on different web pages but scarce little that was published. Is any expert on these rifies looking to compile and publish anything?

I'll close with a thank you note to the forum members, I really appreciate this forum & all who post here. Love reading literally through US history on everyones vast knowledge of our military weapons heritage.
