Is it real
I have an M1a with what seem to be all the right markings to be a Devine Tx rifle made by Elmer Balance.
Serial on barrel is RT 1 Box 210 Devine TX
All markings are HR
Barrel serial P SA serial 8 67 BU36
stock has the cut out for select fire
Serial for rifle is below 2150
I have pics of all markings if anyone is interested in looking at them.
Just want to know if it is the real deal.
Thanks M.H.

Lee says yes
He has documentation showing original sale and serial listed in notes from original owner.
