Metalliman, congrats! I too have send in my paperwork for a SA SG
(on Oct 13th) and I'm waiting to hear from CMP. I'm curious that you asked to have your stock replaced with a new CMP stock. Did they tell you that they would do this? Was there an additional cost? Appreciate any info.

i was told originally back in septemeber to put deployed on my envelope and tehy would make sure to get me the best of the best and push my order to the front. they have a special spot for (deployed) Service members i guess. it only took one day to go from customer service to the sales dept. the lady that emailed me back said she was going to make a special note on my order saying to get one with a new cmp stock for me.

Thanks for the quick turnaround and the info. Although I'm not deployed, I am a recently retired Navy Chief. Maybe I'll make sure they know that when I speak with them.

Just so you know, the new CMP stocks come in walnut and birch. Service Grades with a new stock usually get birch, which I like and which is actually a better stock wood than walnut, but most people prefer the looks of walnut (I like both). If you want a new walnut CMP stock make sure to let them know that.

Personally, since as a deployed person you get special handling, I would ask for one with the best USGI walnut stock that they have, and then buy a new walnut CMP stock separately to use for shooting if you want a brand new stock for some reason.
