My 8/44 SA is a field grade from last summer. CMP buildup using a Danish 4/44 SA/GAW stock, so I finished it to look like a Dane with a '44 10 ore piece in the pistol grip hole and a Danish sling. Barrel is 0+/2+. Next to it is my 12/42 SA/SG from 1/12. Greek return, DOD stock, 1+/2+. The field grade needs 12 clicks to 100 yards, but I get better groups with it.
The FG OP rod was bent and had to be sent back to be straightened. The OP rod spring had also rusted apart into four pieces, and that was replaced as well - both overnight to and from AL - great service from CMP. I've also replaced the gas screw, gas plug screw, and the middle band as they had zero finish; the middle band pin hole was also severely buggered.
