[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2929846, member: 7157"] The field grades will be more of a crap shoot as far as getting a shooter-quality rifle goes. According to the CMP description of the grade, the muzzle may measure more than 3, meaning the rifle would be more likely to have degraded accuracy. That's not a hard and fast rule, but in general you can expect a field grade M1 not to shoot as well as a Service Grade. Also, the stock set will likely have more gouges and cracks, and be of mixed species and origins of wood if not a CMP stock set. A good friend of mine ordered six FG's a few months ago, and all but one were about middle of the range for the grade. The last one was close to a Rack Grade. He was satisfied, but not thrilled, with what he got, having kept in mind the grade description. Personally, I'd try and find a Service Grade, even if I had to pay more, if it was going to be my only M1 Garand. [/QUOTE]
