Nice thread !!  |
Actually the CMP program inspects all the rifles it sells and guarantees they fall within army specs.

Service Grade Rifles are authentic U.S. Government rifles manufactured 50 to 60 years ago. Most of these rifles have been refinished or rebuilt at least once while in military service and will likely have some parts from other manufacturers. Condition will vary greatly from very good to very well worn. Rifle wear will be exhibited by worn and mixed colors of the parkerized finish; there may be some minor pitting on the metal parts; wood will be basically sound but may have minor hairline cracks, dings, scratches and gouges; wood may not match in color, type of wood or condition; bores will be generally good with only minor imperfections; the barrel crown may be nicked, but the muzzle will gauge less than 3 and the throat erosion will gauge less than 5 - well within US Army standards.
