I have been looking for confirmation on this rifle for quite a long time as I feel it it a US Naval rifle. It was purchased from the CMPicon around 2005 when they were sellingAttachment 105519 VFW and American Legion turn-ins. The serial number is SA 825055 with a SA 3-18 dated barrel (nice bore), receiver has the Hatcher hole and stock is marked W.E.S. and BA JS plus a large TENN stamp
