Changing Cmp order (upgrading order)

[deoxys987]

calling the cmp tomorrow to upgrade my order from a HRA Service Grade to a HRA Service Grade Special is it worth it? it says most parts are USGI, but can anyone give me a better % of original parts? everywhere I go I hear the extra $300 is worth it

I have one. It looks damn near unfired. It was worth it to me.

Edit: Orest has said that the SGSs are as they came from the factory except they have new commercial wood. Mine is 100% parts correct with the exception of the new stock metal.

[Lone_Gunman]

My reasoning behind ordering the SGS is this:

The SGS has all original metal, to include the barrel. It is basically an unused rifle that we received without wood and we installed newly mnaufactured wood on it.

A regular service grade is basically a used rifle with mixed parts. Many already come with the new walnut wood.

NO - putting new wood on a srevice grade does not turn it into an unused, all original parts as it came the factory rifle.

don't worry - they will be sold out in next few months.

The barrel on my service grade hra was be enough for me with muzzle of 1, throat of 2. I prefer the old gi wood. Yeah parts wise it is a but of a mix master. But it's my rifle, there may be many like, but this one is mine

I like your strategy, I'll be curious to see if they will let you upgrade. Judging from your posts I think we are on similar timelines. It was a leap for me to order the service grade special but the jet speed turn around has been an added bonus.

I'm just hoping it is more a shooter than a safe queen, and if it's not I'll look into some accurizing.

Oh yeah, highly worth it, you won't regret it! I love mine, can't wait to take it out to the range on Sunday. Like Lone_Gunman's mine looks like its never been fired. All of the metal is in excellent condition and every part that I could find a stamp on is marked HRA. The only discernable wear is from the storage box it sat in for 60+ years.

Careful though, I switched from HRA field to Springfield field and they still shipped me HRA, had to send it back and am hoping I get to the front of the line. All they will tell me is that it is being switched. The estore order info never switched so I asked them the day it shipped and they confirmed it was still an HRA, it was hard refusing delivery after waiting 4 months. My HRA service I got though is immaculate other than a few stock dings in the GI wood. Great looking rifle, I don't know that I would trade it and pay $300 more for one that may be nicer or matching parts.

Been thinking about getting a CMP SGS as well

Definitely go for it.
