Went to the North Store a few eeeks back, everything was very picked over, nothing really spoke to me. No Service Grades and the Field Grades were all pretty rough, most needing a rebarrel.
Was going to buy two barreled receivers and was getting ready to check out and saw the rack of WRA Rack Grades. Funny thing is they gauged much better than the SA, HRA Field Grade rifles and overall condition was better.
Picked out a nice WRA , looks to be original finish receiver with replacement 1952 SA barrel MW 1.5 TW 3.
A real mixmaster, beveled gas lock, solid pin in lower band , 19 SA Bolt, HRA Op Rod ,pristene all correct 65 series trigger group, nice HRA Stock and buttplate. Front handguard has biscut repairs and saw cut gas cylinder will need refinished. Gas cylinders gauges good as does Op Rod. Not really sure why it wasnt graded a Service Grade or atleast a Field . I put back the two barreled receivers and picked out a stripped receiver for future project
Heres pics of her after I changed the gas cylinder and wiped down the wood with BLO
