How much is a WRA SG? I'd take one of those over a WRA Field Grade.
I finally decided to get myself a Garand - mailed in my order form yesterday for a Service Grade. I'll post up some pictures when it comes in.
I guess it depends on your school of thought really. I'm into the rifle for about $1,050 but I have to factor in gas and time. I just hope someone finds the historical significance of the Winchester 13 receiver group appealing so that I can recoup some of my funds from today. but like I said if there's no interest in it at a decent price point I'll probably just put a 308 Barrel on it and keep it as a mix master for my collection.
You could strip the win down to the receiver and sell it all by itself on gun broker for $700 or maybe more. Then just buy a cmp 308 for $1030-the minus the receiver price. You get a nice new shooter 308 and a pile of parts for about $400
Good idea except piles of parts tend to turn into rifles around my house, lol...i'm to the point where i actually don't have enought time to shoot them all!
I got my email today letting me know I have a customer # and they have received my order form.
Now you need to shoot a cmp match and get your CMP competitor #, heck they could be the same I never noticed?
Hmmm...i wonder. Anyome pit there in TV land know if they're the same number? The guy at the counter today asked me if i had my customer number memorized after i jotted it down on the order form.
Not the same, you get a CMP number when you sign up in the Comp Tracker

I think your math is a little off, Mac
Win13 $1019.30 including sales tax
CMP .308. $1030.00
=$2049.30-$700 for the Win13 receiver=$1349.30 for a .308 rifle and a pile of parts...so...not bad i guess, but not $400.
I actually probably should have just left and not bought a rifle, but i just couldn't bare to come home empty handed after all the bs and fussing with my chick to 'let' me go. Other option is looking for an h&r receiver and building that up from the parts off the win 13 to get my 'correct' HRA...the only thing i'd need to get is an oprod and rear sight aside from a stock.
Oh I thought you picked up a Cmp service grade wins that where selling for $830
Even still you can strip the win and part out the win parts and still get ahead of the game.
You're right...a few years ago i'd be kicking my own ass for bitching abour having too many Winchester service grades
The service grades were $930+tax...10% is a lotta damn sales tax!
I believe he stopped at the store.are they not shipping them free with out sales tax or has that changed
Well depending on what you have for other win parts average sold price I seen on GB for Win receivers was $675You're right...a few years ago i'd be kicking my own ass for bitching abour having too many Winchester service grades

Win13's or just regular winchesters? If i can get a decent amount for the Win13 i could definitely fund a 'correct' HRA build and have the satisfaction of knowing i did it myself.
The guys at the store would NOT ship it w/o a plane ticket AND i had to pay sales tax. I made them scrounge up a lock for my trip through the gauntlet though...nj, ny, ct, and into ma. Kind of disappointed by the whole experience, really, but it is what it is.
There are NO other Winchester parts on the Win13 service grade.
Just picked it up at FedEx since I couldn't be home today.
First of all, I have no idea what I should be taking pics of so forgive my noobness. Second of all, the damn thing bit me so now my blood is fused with the wood and metal. Like I said: noob.
