I ordered a field grade, but put a note that if they're out to get me a service grade. Looks like the SA and Winchesters are gone, and I understand the HRA's are post WWII. That's why I am considering getting it restored... if it was a WWII rifle I don't think I would change a thing.

I've ordered 10 clips... from Amazon... if they don't feel good I'll order some from Brownells. Clips are cheap... $20 x 10, so not a big deal.

I have 30-06 ammo... but 200 @ $98 + S&H for Greek surplus sounds like a heck of a deal... Academy wanted $35 for 20 rnds of Hornady (the hunting stuff)... I have enough 30-06 but I can always use a bit more!

I finally decided to pull the trigger on a M1 Garand and mailed the ordering form and additional documents to CMP today. Looks like a 2-3 month wait at the moment and they only have H&R's on field and service grades.

Depending on a. if I get one, and b. how it looks and its history, I may get it restored at James River Armory
