It seems you did quite well. My 2 FG WRA's came in last week,a 2.3 mil and a 6 digit with 50's SA barrels and SA parts. Cleaning them up right now,replacing the oprod springs and all wood and will be selling them for cost. I took a gamble in hopes of getting a serial I don't have yet(1.3's) but instead ended up with serials I already have several of. I have a few 6 digits already and several 2.3's,in fact I will be selling another 2.3 shooter aside from this one. I'll be posting them in a week or two when the wood is done. The wood that came on them was not that bad looking but both had very looose lockup. I still have some Dupage and Doug's leftovers and some new handguards so I decided to dress them up a bit with better wood that has tight lockup. They should make some decent shooters.
