Yep, got two Inlands this month. First one was a Saginaw Gear subcontracted reciever with an original barrel with a mirror bore. Unfortionately the rifle went through the degreaser so the type 4 Winchester stock is going to need alot of attention and the rear sight is loose and needs to be restaked. Was service grade but probally should have been a rack grade. Still happy with it though. Second one is a beauty with a nice Elmer Keith inspected modified type 2 NPM stock. Metal has been reparked with a nice dark finish. Was suprised to find some deep pitting below the wood. Bore had alot of cosmoline and dust in it and quite a bit of rust on the muzzle crown that should clean up with some steel wool and oil. After I ran a patch down the bore I was surprised to find pitting in the otherwise perfect bore. Still very pleased with it. CMP is still the best bang for the buck!
