HRA question,please
Was at the CMP North Store yesterday and purchased HRA serial#5657xxx (service grade) in spectacular condition!!! MW .75.Only parts not HRA are bolt and op rod! MY question is about the windage knob.Every HRA I looked at (40 plus rifles)- serial #'s ranged from 4.4 mil thru end of prod.- had DRC windage knobs.Not one HRA-W.Is it possable HRA used DRG knobs on M-1s. Sorry if this is a retorical question.

Everything I have read has said there was a mix of HRA and DRC windage knobs used and in fact the armorer at the SS said it was correct as well. My SG is like yours; in fact it was EXACTLY like yours until I traded the SA bolt and op rod for HRA parts

I firmly believe the DRC windage knob is both original AND correct for your rifle. I would NOT change it, but that's just my opinion.

My HRA is a correct 57XXXXXX and it says "HRA W" on the windage knob...

My HRA 5640xxx has both the HRA-W and HRA (elevation) knobs. Mine was sold as a service grade from the south store but all parts are HRA except the butt plate (2S-Winchester).

MY 5.6 HRA also has HRA Knobs on both sides. If anyone wants to trade a DRC for my extra HRA-W knob let me know, it is a medium/ dark grey original park. I have an SG SA with this HRA-W windage knob that needs a DRC.
It will open up a lot more rifles to correct, or corrected status since the GCA article has gone mainstream.

I have 5631XXX w/DRC (CMP Special original HRA with CMP stock) and 5656XXX has HRA-W (collector).
