    And all of the ones I've received have been perfectly serviceable,and looked great.

    Orlando,
    Do you know if they have any of those receivers at the North Store? If so I'm not to far from there.

    I am sure they do. They are behind the counter, have to ask to see them. Some are pitted but are all reparked, you can usually find a few real nice ones if you look through the whole box
    Call and ask on availability, phone # for North Store is on CMP website

    They had numerous USGI ones at the North Store several weeks ago behind the counter. I looked at several and they all had some very minor pitting under the wood line. In some of the ones I looked at you had to look hard. The park job looked good on all that I examined.
    From what I was told is that there has not been much interest in just the receiver for $195.00 since the CMP is offering the barreled with headspaced bolt option for $350.00

    I had this problem with one of mine.Mine was a CAI pinetree.IAI used the same receivers for thier builds .I seen about 50 B/R's from the factory left overs when they closed a few years back at a gunshow. I did have a carbine built by them and it was fine. They were out of Liberty ,TX a town about 15 miles east of the Baker homeplace. They do not have a reputation for stellar quality. They later moved to Houston.

    I picked up a Century built Garand from a local gun shop a few months back. Nice VAR barrel (almost new), mix of Springfield and PB parts, and an overall good platform for a shooter (small crack in handguard, but going to have new wood installed anyways). For what I paid for it, it wasn't that bad of a loss if it didn't work... but it would have been a very nice purchase if it did. I know some people don't like messing with historical guns (in all honesty, couldn't care less; do what you want to your gun), but I was considering to go with a M1D conversion on this rifle... but since I have a Mosin Nagant PU sniper, and also a replica M1903 USMC sniper rifle, figured I wouldn't put glass on this.

    Contacted Tim when I found out DGR wouldn't touch the rifle (probably good after the experience I had with them rebuilding my M1903), and he said that as long as it works, he would work on it. Shortly after that, I got my clips back from CCR (cera-plated, which is very nice), and tested the rifle out. Worked 100% (I'll admit, I was a little worried with all the stuff that is posted on the internet regarding these receivers).

    Sending it in is on my list of things to do, but with work and life, it isn't that far up on the list. Hopefully going to send it sometime between now and August... looks good, but I want it to look better.
