She looks great! Give us some close ups of the receiver metal. So its the rifle in fact all parts correct?!

I need to order one of these asap.

[NOTABIKER]

very nice M1, happy for you.

[gotshotgun?]

BTW I hope the last digit in your serial is a 5 or a 6!

Nice, I like the strips on the stock.

Btw, what's that on the stock? Is that from CMP or something you bought somewhere else?

[Simply115]

Nice M1 there. I'll post pics soon, mine came two weeks ago, and I'm just too lazy to get to a PC.

I bought my HRA M1 for $125 back when CMP was called still called DCM. It was the luck of the draw back then as there was no mechanism to specify make or condition. They simply pulled the next rifle off the pile, checked it and sent it out. Back then you could just as easily get an unfired numbers matching weapon, an M1D or even a National Match rifle delivered in the box via USPS as you could get a rebuilt SA.

That's pretty crazy. Honestly it doesn't make much sense though, even back then they understood what was more rare and valuable than others. You would think they would want to optimize sales.

What price were you expecting? Nothing has changed.

[SurfRider19]

Been those prices for quite some time. Surprised it hasn't gone up. Last I checked, Orest had said they were going to try to not increase prices for the near future. Just hope they still have rifles in the near future!
