almost too easy...lol.
basically what prompted my recent purchase...
my brain works like this...pretty much word for word:
"huh, looks like the CMP has M1's again via MajSpud...maybe I'll just look to see if they have service grades...oh, look! there's service grades! maybe i'll just click the fillable form tab...oh, auto fill, you already filled out most of the form for me...maybe i'll just hit that little print icon at the top right and see what happens...well, the paper didn't jam, so i guess it was meant to be! M1 number three, here we go!"
i've been REALLY lucky so far with the first two and received two rifles with VERY minimal muzzle erosion...like less than .5!
they're both mixmaster deluxes, but I imagine they shoot not far off from the day they were made (both have given me cloverleaf groups at 50yds, so assuming they'd be sub MOA if the stars aligned). my tractor gun has an LMR barrel...they (the cmp) actually called me and told me they were running low on them and that I could opt for one without an LMR and I asked them to dig deep and find me one and they did!
i think i'll order this one, and possibly one more next year...then that ought to do it, and i'll start concentrating on my m1903 and schmidt rubin collections again...and then i'd like to start with Mausers when I buy another safe...mac1911, you're just as guilty as MajSpud, I hope you realize!
