CMP delivery

[ssgross]

My 2 service grade Garands came on Friday. My first one 2 years ago had a refinished 300k receiver, barrel wi 0+ throat erosion, 1+ at the muzzle, and new CMP wood. It is a wonderful shooter.
These two are 3mil and 4 mil.
Here is the first

It has used wood, with what looks like the remnants of an HRA 3/8" square stamp with eagle and stars? but it's not clear. The wood fits nice and tight, just as tight as the others with new wood. The hand guard rings and butt plate were put to a wire wheel, and left bright. Bolt has the correct drawing number for the serial, but looks newly reparkerized.
I found a complete IHC trigger group, and an HRA gas plug.

I have both rifles fully disassembled right now for deep cleaning and inspection. I thought of doing a thread as I went through it. When I get to the bore, I'll do some before, after, intermediate, and after bore cam pics. Every old rifle has a story, even the ugliest parts queen.
