Advice for a M1 shooter

[Charlie59]

If you live near the South Store, I would give serious consideration to the Service Grade Special. These are in near mint condition, with new CMP wood-for $795.00. Mine is a 5.4, with mint original barrel-MW is zero, TE is one. Best deal at CMP IMO. By near mint-mine is 99%. If these had original wood-they would grade above correct grade into collector grade status.

I've been looking at CMP and could not find a "Service Grade Special". They are listing a Service Grade at $595 and a CMP Special Grade at $995. The Special Grade has a new production barrel and a new production stock. I am really considering the Special Grade. I think I can swing $1000.00, but much more may be a strain right now. I would really like to get another DGR (I've had two) but $1610 may be out of my reach.

Is there a Service Grade Special that they are not listing? What steps do I need to take to buy at the Store? I may go ahead and call CMP tomorrow (Tue), but could use any advice or insight you guys can offer.

Thanks for all your help.

P.S.
Does anyone know what barrels and stocks CMP uses on their Speical Grades and any recommendations on them?

I found a forum on CMP's site, didn't know they had one. I think I can find most of my answers there. Thanks for all the help guys.
