    Seems easy enough, any members here have one? Having one would be the bee's knees. Not sure if I'd want a service grade or special grade.

    Have several-some from the DCM, some from CMP. I have both, The service grade shoot well but the ones with a new Criterion barrel are better. If you are buying for matches, you want the one with the new barrel

    Thinking about just getting one for the cool factor. Not intending to shoot competitive matches. That may change, I'm only 52. There's still time for that. :)

    Probably depend on what your intended use will be. Consider some of these guns have likely been in continual service with various military groups for decades after WWII/Korea.
    This will give you an idea of the lots to be released...

    Honestly, it'll probably end up either on display or secreted away. I'll just look at it, and let it sing at the range once in a while.

    Love those. Don't look very adjustable though.

    I have one. I think it was called “correct grade”.
    Nice shooter.

    Main difference will be in the tightess of the group from bench rest...
