Wife and I went to the CMP South Store last Saturday and I came back with this. It's a 1954 HRA field  grade in nice shape. They had 25-30 when we got  there. I was like a kid in a candy store looking at them.

I picked up a nice military drop case acouple of weeks ago for it at a gun show.

If you need clips and are near by, give me a shout.  I have plenty.

Nice choice!  gotta love a gun that goes PING!

 

mine is an SA 1943 rebuilt in the 50's  still running strong

 

of course you know about port pressure problems with modern loads so it is an adj. gas plug,surplus or handloading for that old war horse lest you upset the Op rod.

Congrats on a nice rifle!  I need to make another trip to the South Store.  On my last trip the racks were almost empty.

Did they have any collector grade rifles in stock?  They don't seem to have many . . .

[dou44]

I picked up acouple of cans of the Greek, I do not plan on shooting any thing else in it .They had some service grade specials out along with a lot of the sniper rifles. I cleaned it up some more and shot it at 100 yards, It took 10 clicks up from the bottom to get it where I wanted it.

Looks like you got a good one. Mine shoots good but, it won't win any beauty contests.

What's the steps for getting it if you want to just go in person?
