New H&R and Winchester M1
Stopped at the North Store last week to look the inventory over and walked out with three new additions for the collection. I had stopped to look the field grade Winchesters over and flagged these two H&R also. All three came in with 1 and 1.5 for erosion so they should all be good at the range. The wood on the Winchester is being replaced as we speak with a new set from CMP. There were enough H&R parts to fill one out with all H&R stamp parts, so that came as a surprise.
Sorry to see the old board go,but glad to see the group found a new home so fast.

Another conspiracy theory?

All correct rifles sold as a lesser grade have the parts mixed around. This is done when the rifles are disassembled for inspection. The guy at the bench is under direction to ensure than no lesser grade rifle leaves with all matching parts. The CMP swaps out the marked parts: bolts, operating rods, stocks, trigger guards. The amount of swapping depends. It is usually a minimum of two parts, but it can be all of the parts, in any random selection.
CMP deigns this, but I know people who may have worked there and they told me what was going on.
Unless you have seen this happen first hand, It is just hearsay and makes a good story. I would tend to believe CMP's statements on this subject before that of a friend of a friend who worked there long ago.
