Approximately 15 years ago I acquired an M1 which I believe to be a naval variant. In discussing The purchase from the seller I was informed that he had belong to his brother who had passed away. He served 40 years in the Navy and was apparently an excellent marksman. I have done some research regarding the naval variants That were re-barrel from 30.06 to 308 After World War II. The only markings on the barrel of my rifle are the words 308 short barrel. In searching for information regarding the rifle I have found that many of the rebareled rifles bear the letter NATO followed by 7.62 x51.
can anyone assist with information about this specific rifle.
thanks !
