    CMP-added parts

    As far as I can tell, CMPicon does not change barrels or add barrels to existing receivers on any guns, but they do (or have done) add small parts or wood to guns in order to improve appearance or functionality, such as butt plate, bolt, trigger parts, etc. Is this a true statement?
    Further, I gather that they re-park some/many/most/all of such parts, which are readily identifiable by their light gray color. True?
    I ask because I have an HRA M1icon that I got a number of years ago from DCM, before I was a "collector", that appears to be all correct with all HRA parts and LMR barrel, color of most is greenish- black except trigger housing (darker black), andthe butt plate, stock ferrule, rear swivel, trigger which are all the same light gray color.
    When I got this, they only had the one grade- "luck of the draw"!
    So what do we think I've got here?

    replace/substitute yes

    repark/refinish no

    your rifle sounds like an original/correct rifle with a normal variation of component part hue variations (many of which can be made by Sub-K's).

    Send a note to CMPicon customer service with your questions. They will provide a good answer for you or refer to someone who can.

    I am sure the CMPicon does not rebarrel receivers. They also don't repark any parts. They clean and replace parts that is all.

    I bought a barreled receiver last month at the North Store, it had a (42) receiver w/bolt and a (55) SA barrel almost new.

    I also purchased a CMP Special in 2010 at the NS, it had a (43) receiver and a new Criterion barrel. Both of these purchases were re-parked, what do you base your information on?

    I guess he (and me) should have specified that this was for SERVICE grade rifles. The CMPicon Specials are complete re-do's. WHO does this FOR the CMP or whether they do it in house (which I doubt), I don't know..

    The barreled receivers I suspect CAME to CMP already assembled and were found in the same stack of crates as everything else.

    I called the South Store this morning and was told the following:

    As for the CMPicon Special the parts are re-parked but they outsource that process, same for the receivers. However CMP armorers do install the new Criterion barrels as well as the barrels for the barreled receivers.

    They do re-park but not in-house, they do install barrel's, hope this helps. I did not ask who they use for the out-sourcing.

    There was a shop in Anniston that did a fair amount of refinishing for the CMPicon, went right by the place, but can't think of the name. As many loose barrels and receivers that were at the South Store, someone thereabouts must be capable of swapping barrels. But their rebuilding practices have varied over time.

    speaking of parts...where can i get all the metal parts for the stock including front hand guard?
    Been meaning to call CMPicon as they must have a source?
    It's for 2 stocks that I would use to replace my original ones when I go to the range.
    For all you members, $30(price subject to inflation) makes you a contributing member. I think this great site is worth it.
