[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2452462, member: 7157"] As promised, here's a quick run-down on the three Springfield Service Grades I got from the CMP on Monday, approximately 120 days after I sent in my order. The pics were taken right after the rifles were removed from their shipping cases - no cleaning or prepping. Starting with the first rifle, which has a 242K S/N (May 1941). This rifle has a barrel lacking a date and manufacturer initials, which the CMP forum experts have identified as having been made by SA between late 1946 and early 1947. The CMP measurements were slightly high; with my Stone Ax gauge, I measured the MW and TE numbers right at 2 each, which are pretty good given the barrel's age. The stock has no visible cartouches or stamps. It has a HRA-N trigger housing, an IHC op rod, and a mix of SA parts: [b][Broken External Image][/b] [b][Broken External Image][/b] This next rifle has a 2.0M serial number (October 1943); this has a 1960s SA barrel, and the MW / TE numbers are 2 and 2.75, respectively, which should make for a good shooter.
