    Back in 2007, a friend found a SA Model 1903 s/n 825055 with a SA 3-18 barrel, the stock was stamped TENN. I had posted this information on Joustericon and Jim Tarletonicon then post some additional data
    on USMC rifles: This rifle had been purchased from the CMPicon and the TENN stock came with this rifle

    825081 031631 USMC Haiti
    825111 112138 USMC San Diego (survey)
    825131 032729 USMC San Diego
    825148 051629 Ft Humphreys
    825235 051029 Corps of Cadets USMA

    There are a lot of serial numbers in this group indicating USMC and the naval ships
    Information

    Navy Ship marked stocks

    I would think that the stocks were marked with the ships name or hull number by the navy in the "wood shop". All kinds of variations: I found a Single bolt Rock Island stock with AT over 21 later found out it was the USS Bagaluce. The USS MISS stocks can have a rack number and a date too. The USS WEST POINT was handstamped with single letters while the TENN stamped stocks appear to be stamped above the magazine on the side of the stock. All this makes collecting interesting
