Just a Mixmaster

[Orlando]

Went to the North Store couple weeks ago, everything was very picked over, nothing really spoke to me. Was going to get two barreled receivers and was getting ready to check out and saw the rack of WRA Rack Grades. Funny thing is they gauged better than the SA, HRA Field Grade rifles and overall condition was better.
Picked out a nice WRA , looks to be original finish receiver with replacement 1952 SA barrel MW 1.5 TW 3.
A real mixmaster, beveled gas lock, solid pin in lower band , 19 SA Bolt, HRA Op Rod ,pristene all correct 65 series trigger group, nice HRA stock and buttplate. Front handguard has biscut repairs and saw cut gas cylinder and gas lock will need refinished. Gas cylinders gauges good/ in spec as does Op Rod. Not sure why it was graded as a Racker. I put back the two barreled receivers and picked out a receiver for future project
Heres pics of her after I changed the gas cylinder and wiped down the wood with BLO

That is a nice looking rifle makes me want to try to get one. My Dad used a Winchester when he was in the Army. He was in late 50s early 60s he said him & two other guys all qualified with it because the other guys rifles would'nt shoot good I guess by then most were mix masters or soon to become one.

Personally I would never take the chance on a Mail Order Rack or Field Grade. Many are in need of a rebarrel, its just not worth the chance IMO.
If you can get to a Store to handpick the Rack and Field Grades are worth a look. There are usuallly one or two gems hidden amoung them
