CMP barreled receiver going back!

[AFS]

Interesting! I got 3 BRs, the non-matching kind, but got one that matched. A Dec. '44 receiver with a 1-45 barrel. I could only imagine it was included in the $100 group because the rest of it was bad. (Barrel M > 5, TE 7.5 - 8, and the receiver with heavy pitting on the receiver ring face). Cleaned it as best as I could, but I doubt I can salvage the receiver. I may call and ask them what I should do.

Do you mean a 1-45 receiver with a 12-44 barrel? A barrel dated after the receiver would be tough to call correct, not impossible but highly questionable.

"CMP said send it back, so I did". Say what? YOU contacted with a thank you note? Hardly. You complained and they bent over backwards. I know of a case where a M1903 was sent back to a Mr. Meredith who closely examined said return. Funny story--it was NM '03! They are still laughing about that one at CMP South!

Steve, go back and read my post one more time. This time really read it.

Bill, only jerking your chain. NO flame intended. But the story about the NM '03 is true!
