A WTB thread for common part like a walnut handguard should get you a few emails in a few hours.
Sweet, she looks great. I love the HRA M1s, such nice rifles.

The C&R is only used for eligibility. They run the NICS check on everything.
Hey all, my HRA SG arrived and I couldn't be happier! Been busy at work so I just got a chance to snap some pics. My best guess is she was a barreled receiver that was assembled by CMP with the mix of parts I have. HRA Rec, Bolt, and Barrel. SA on the rest that had obvious markings. The stock is USGI with great cartouches and alot of cosmoline haha. The steel was very clean in comparison with good parking. Its so much fun to start my research and alot to take in so I'm sure to be forgetting some details but it will not be the last you see of her. Oh and I already registered the Ser# at 30 Cal.

Sweet....nice wood again....man I hope I get some nice gi wood. The gi wood I have on my SA's is nice to have but fit is loose. As for cmp assembling barreled recievers...I didn't get that impression from the articles I have read. I know the rifles get torn down and cleaned checked. I don't think they waste a lot of time building up a barreled reciever or they wouldn't sell them. I maybe wrong
Still great looking gun. I like the dark coal colored park..

Thanks alot! Giving it a good cleaning and I'll be off to the range, a few cases of HXP should keep it happy for a while. My barreled receiver guess was based off this post on CMP Forum
Just the fact they statecthey arecstill there is a good indication they are not "building" rifles. That's not to say they don't.
I know they keep an eye out for rare parts and special items. My understanding is all rifles get the same treatment as they would going through rearsenal. Although some armour's arexknown to try and use manufactured correct parts if they have them in the bins? They thing is many indicators lead to HRA useing a lot of SA parts right from the HRA factory.
Yeah I think that gravy was spilled all over my stock, it is damn near dripping cosmoline

They finally arrived. I had ordered one SG and 2 FGs . the SG showed up the beginning of the month. The 2 FGs just showed up this week. I have to say I have always thought the SGs were the best bang for the buck and they may be. The FGs are not shabby however. The barrel specs are not as good as the SG but as the CMP website states. "well within military standards".
I originally wanted to order the FGs because i knew i would get a GI stock. I am not disappointed. I lucked out on my SG but did not expect to...I will say that cosmetically the HRA FGs exceed my SG Springfield. (I understand they are newer). The top FG has some dings in the stock but nothing I ever would walk away from. I like the slightly weathered "been there, done that " look. I also like the price. Could any of you walk away from either of these M1s at $550 each delivered?

received notice 2/28/13 they had recieved my overnight express letter and it was in queue
received DBU 3/26/13
Hit the Estore 5/23/13
delivered 5/30/2013
Now that I have them in hand..... if I didn't have any of these three and would only be buying one, would I go with the a FG or SG? That is a tough call.. if you can afford it, you may want to consider buying 2 FGs for $1099. Shoot the heck out of one, ,, When CMP runs out, wait 2 years and sell one for $1100 and keep the other for free . If you could think you could let go of one then......![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")

Oops, now you have triplets. Hope you have enough food on hand for them - you do know they eat 8 servings at a time right?
A little cut BLO will smooth out the coloring on the stocks, especially the scuffs. I actually added a little walnut stain to darken up my fore stock which was a very light almost beech color to help it blend better with the walnut stock.
