CMP Special FIELD GRADE (.30-06) M1 Garand. This is a completely refurbished rifle consisting of an original M1 Garand Springfield or HRA receiver, new production Criterion barrel, new production American Walnut stock and handguards, and new web sling. Receiver and most other parts are refinished USGI, but some parts may be new manufacture.
Receiver will have considerable pitting above the wood line.

That's impressive for the price with a new barrel. The Criterion barrels are accurate!

Pass. Don't like the Boyds wood one bit, though I guess the barrel could be a plus or minus depending on your POV on GI parts. Other new production parts combined with the " will have considerable pitting above the wood line" isn't too reassuring either.

Do love my Garand though
