I did my 20 years teaching science to 14 year-olds. Been retired 16 months and still have nightmares most nights - seriously. 4 superintendents, 5 assistant superintendents, 4 principals, 7 assistant principals, half a dozen coordinators, and over 4,000 students.

We were trying to do an NES meet up at the all you could eat Brazilian steak house, hence "Meat UP"... Looks like it's going to be at another place due to logistics..
Yup. I use the Nosler 168 gr BTHP custom comps. Great value at 20-22 cents per bullet shipped. Depends when you buy them as they go on sale fairly often.
I emailed Ramshot/western powders and they sent me there M1 garand data...

keep the eyes on sales and discount codes and you can dip into -18 cent each area.
If you could spare a dozen clips that would be AWESOME. I will shoot you a DM and pay for shipping!
We can talk at the shoot first, maybe you could bring brass then if you have space?
If I were local to either of you, I would certainly take you up on the offers: Thank you. If Gator is low on brass then I would happily pay shipping for a flat rate box of brass from anyone willing.
A tip for the clips that I learned from the guys on the forum: If the parkerize finish is a little heavy or the enblocs have some other crud, they can be a little sticky in the action and act up. Toss them in the tumbler for a long time until they are smooth. I had some new Aggressive Engineering enbloc clips that were hanging up and causing problems in my Special. No issues since tumbling them.
Even better! Did you want the USGI wood or new wood? New might need a little clearing here and there, but it will support better accuracy. USGI may or may not have OK lock-up, but it may look cool. Depends on what you want.
Service WRA is tempting, but I'm holding out to see if they drag any HRA's or IHC's up to Vermont.

Ugh I mailed mine out yesterday, wonder if they'll honor based on postmark.. assuming they didn't forget to grab the mail bin on the street down the road from work. Snail mail hasn't failed me yet... if they do honor if, maybe I'll end up with a service grade? I doubt it though.

funny when they put the "1 per year per customer" tag on the Win FG I figured they had a good amount on hand and wanted to spread the wealth....hope they just took a break to catch up on orders..

Mine was sent snail mail a couple weeks ago so I'm not sure how they would "honor" your postmark? Either they have the rifles or they don't. Since the WRA Service Grades aren't listed, best guess is they only have a handful.

They typically list them as sold out before they actually are based on the amount of orders received, and as long as they have one, they honor the postmarked date.

If they weren't listed as sold out before he mailed it they will TRY to honor the order as best as they can. If they cannot they won't, but they do their best. They might do what they did with you and offer the upgrade.
I placed an order years ago for a SG Springfield. They emailed me and said they were not finding many SG's and offered me a SG Winchester that was not even available to order. I got the Winchester.
