Okay I got the $$$ for the CMP RM1SASSP Service Grade special at $950.
Problem is I walked into the local shop today and picked up a clean, non-import SA serial #684,xxx, with an SA 9/66 dated rebarrel. The stock is uniform original walnut. He's asking $875, but usually gives a little off for cash.
Looks like a legit example. I'd save time and shipping over the CMP Garand, but would I be making a mistake?
