For service grade rifles, a high numbered SA would potentially be the "best" in terms of workmanship, but wouldn't have the history that a WWII rifle would. A note with your order requesting a high numbered SA (say, 5,9xx,xxx) might get you such a rifle.

It's a bit of a crapshoot, but ultimately you will get a rifle that, at a minimum, meets the service grade criteria. And if you're lucky, you'll get one that surpasses the minimums.

If I were only looking to buy one rifle for use as a shooter, I'd seriously consider a Special Grade rather than a service grade.
