Yes, very excited! Did not expect it but maybe since it was a switch from FG -> SG and the CMP rep said she would note it, carried more weight? Who knows... On the new order timeline everyone upgrading seems to be asking for the USGI wood and seems to have gotten it so far, maybe since they're not for sale again they can be more selective? In the end I'm quite happy.
Thanks, I haven't had time to strip it yet, planning to do it Friday night. Serial 29363xx, which I believe to be June 1944. I'll be curious to see how this one compares accuracy-wise to the special. The SG definitely feels a lot more like a milsurp with the USGI wood and patina/worn finish. Without having anything to compare it to, the pitting on the special is a lot more noticeable to me now since the SG has essentially zero on the receiver.
How many clicks up should I set the rear sight for 100 yards as a starting point?
8-10 should get you on paper at 100 but then again every gun is different....
The specs are 8 clicks up at 1000" inches should impact with in a 3.5"w X 5.5"t rectangle aiming at he middle...... roughly the specs say +/- 2 clicks to get it with in the rectangle...
My guns are all different using HXP im between 5 clicks and 12 clicks for 100 yard zer between rifles and a few in between also... i have a 8 and 10 click rifles also...
if the new wood stock doesnt fit well it may have some poi issues.
I can tell you my almost correct HRA SG I recieved with a new wood once fitted correctly will shoot about 2 moa better than the same gun in period correct stock that fits really good...
