New to me CMP HRA SG Garand

[ramit]

Just receive my "new to me"

CMP HRA SG Garand
S/N 564xxxx

Receiver side marked " 6528291 " And a " W. " above that

Oprod marked " 6535382 HRA "

Rear sight windage marked " HRA-W "
Rear sight elevatation marked " HRA "

Barrel marked " HRA 6535448 4-55 RS50 "

Bolt marked " 6528287-SA " " A15 " heat lot.

Trigger marked " D28290-18-SA "

Front handguard is real tight, no slop - no movement what so ever.
As I understand....not good I assume.
Needs some room?

Sights feel tight and move well.

Stock feels nice, but greasy!
Lots of grease in every corner.
Lots of character and handling marks.
I like the grain.

Barrel appears dirty, but very defined rifling and looks like it will clean up well. Don't see any pitting in it.

The charge handle on the oprod has some minor wear from use, some shiny metal starting to show, feels polished, no rust no pits anywhere.

All the finish matches.

Seems to be an all correct rifle , but for the bolt and trigger assy.

The trigger assy shows light wear, but some on the trigger and hammer.
Otherwise very minty.
The trigger assy threw me. (again a newbee learning ) I thought the milled trigger guards from SA were original early 45 and before SA WWII production.

SA bolt, looking up the numbers and heat lot, the bolt is the right time frame compared to the barrel and appx born on date for the s/n of my HRA.
But I've been told, nope, HRA parts only should have come in there.

So , is this maybe a CMP change out?

Doesn't seem like the Greeks would put in a 44/45 trigger assy, and putting in a mid 50's bolt, on a rifle that looks slightly worn metal wise.
Why would someone change out the bolt and trigger assy... except for CMP to build a minty correct HRA?


I'm very happy with it. I'll get her cleaned up and an official physical by Orion 7, then down the range.









































Thanks for looking / and educating me..
