[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2351328, member: 7157"] Not these days, unless you're looking for a M1C, M1D or a drill rifle. The CMP folks are moving uncrated and graded M1's straight to the mail order department to fill orders for Service Grade SA's (and a few HRA's as the occasional one comes up), so the store racks are pretty bare. As I understand it, they're also parting out Rack Grades and possibly Field Grades to provide parts for the SG Specials. The best thing to do is send in an order for a rifle and keep your fingers crossed you get something good - folks lately are reporting some great rifles coming in the mail, and some marginal ones, but mostly rifles that satisfy the grade description. If you want a Service Grade and can afford it, I'd suggest ordering at least two so you can keep the better or best one, and sell or part out the others. But yes, the CMP M1's are going to be the cheapest deals around, unless you buy a rifle from a charitable relative or a clueless individual :P [/QUOTE]
