CMP Service Grades available.

Or they are liquidating them now to supplement their retirement with all their rifles they bought for $89 and are now selling for $400

This is the winning answer!!!

A few years ago I picked up 3 Bavarian M1 Carbines from the CMP for $600.00ea.
They're $1200.00 rifles now and they will never be even close to $600.00 again.

The same with Garands, even if the Philippine Garands show up, they won't be less than we're paying now and they'll never be the $399.99 or so the CMP had them for a few years ago.

It's supply and demand. So what if there are 5,000,000 Mosins? they're not being made anymore and if there's 6,000,000 collectors, the price stays high.
I haven't seen any $39.99 91/30's or $89.00 m38's or m44's recently and although that's what I paid for mine, that's not what I'll be selling the for.

Ar's etc are coming down in price because they're still being made.

Milsurps aren't and unless an importer finds a huge stash somewhere, the price ain't coming down in our lifetimes.

I had given up on getting any more really nice rifles from the CMP but was pleasantly surprised by what I got from the WRA Service Grades. I ordered three and got one.

I've never seen this mark before. Can anyone tell me about it?

Supposedly Augusta Arsenal and "Y" would be the inspector

Got mine today, got a beauty 1.22 million with 1/1 readings and a WWII SA 45 barrel.

Looks like you scored. SA 65 barrel with 1/1+, thats a brand new barrel right there. Probably a better shooter than what it would have been in original correct condition. Milled trigger guard too.

You guys did very well. I think its great that they are finally shipping some rifles with GI wood again.
