" U S" is stamped on the chamber (?). Features 25" barrel, bayonet lug, protected blade front sight, folding, screw adjustable, ladder peep rear sight, detachable 10 round magazine, manual safety, sling swivels, stacking swivel, brass buttplate with trap door. Rifle is in like new condition, bore is excellent/bright. parkerized finish is excellent, some very minor edge wear/scratches, wood is excellent. Sterling marked magazine. No Import marks. Comes with correct green web sling. It appears in every respect to be a arsenal conversion, but has no FTR markings. We could not find any reference to it in Skennertons book, maybe a professional Sterling conversion. Anyway a very nice rifle.
