Navy Trophy Rifle Verification

[Rosco the Iroc]

I have a few of these great guns and a few are floating around out there. If you are not sure if yours is a real SECNAV trophy rifle here's how you check-

https://usnmt.org/resources/

The following rifles which were awarded by the US Navy and the US Marine Corps in the Name of the Secretary of the Navy can be verified:

7.62mm Mk 2 Mod 1 Service Grade with new 7.62mm SA barrels (The sleeved barreled rifles cannot be verified)
7.62mm Mk2 Mod 1 Match Conditioned Grade A
7.62mm Mk2 Mod 1 Match Conditioned Grade B
Caliber .30 M1 Standard Grade issued after February 1998, and
the Remington 720.
There is no cost for this service. Send email https://usnmt.org/wp-content/uploads...T-Contacts.pdfto Jim Adell with the serial number and the data from the side of the barrel that becomes visible when the bolt is opened. A scanned copy of the page with your serial number, if it is a Navy rifle, can be emailed by request. If you want paper verification, including a copy of the page with your serial number from the Navy Serial Number List, send a stamped self-addressed envelope to: Jim Adell 2409 Frances Dr. Loveland, CO 80537.

But... do Sailors know how to shoot them?

Thanks for posting the resource. I don't own a Garand, yet. Although, my Springfield Armory M1A is keeping me occupied until I check it off my bucket list.

I only beat R Lee with mine at Perry so you tell me.
