Still Criterion
As long as it's not been over a year since the purchase, CMP has always taken care of non-functioning issues for me? One time I mailed back the fire control group and they sent me a replacement (was getting multiple rounds fired per trigger pull) and the other time sent the whole rifle back for the rear sight not adjusting properly, and they sorted it out
Do both because they aren't making any more of either of those and they will just become scarcer.
If money were unlimited, sure. But since it isn't...
i just picked up an M1 , can't wait to shoot it . if you don't want to get a serivce rifle dirty you probley don't need a service fifle .
It’s not dirty I mind. It’s smashing it in to a tree, getting it muddy/soaking wet and subsequent deep cleaning I’d need to do, etc. it was a service rifle more than my lifetime ago. Mine just happens to be service grade (lookup the CMP grades). If I had a rack grade, I’d mind humping it through the woods a lot less. Mine gets lots of range time. It’s not a safe queen. But I do treat it nicer than I would pretty much any of my other guns.
It’s still more weatherproof than a blued hunting rifle if you prepare it right. I wipe down the whole thing with grease so it won’t run in the rain and won’t easily wear off from handling. The parkerizing holds grease great. I mix some beeswax into the linseed oil so the stock is reasonably waterproof. The action can be removed from the stock without a screwdriver and the recesses are easily to dry off.
