Thanks for the info and link - I willNow you need to submit a FOIA to Crane to see what shows up there.
Anyone whose wife does not have an HQL these guns are classified federally as Curio's and Relics (over 50 years old) so per Maryland law a HQL is not required. Be sure the FFL you choose will transfer a C&R handgun to someone without an HQL not everyone will.Cool, gotta get my wife and son to put in for them
There's no guarantee that any of the conditions will be all original, or even mostly original. So if the only guaranteed difference is fit an finish, why not at least go for at least field? I got a field grade RR in the last round that was mostly original except for a replacement barrel, and with a buggered up rear sight. I figured it wasn't original anyway, so I replaced the rear sight with a surplus one.I'm waiting for my number to come up for round 3. Any recommendations on what grade to go for? I'm getting the sense that if you want one that's more likely to have an original matching frame and slide, perhaps field grade is the best option? But on the flip side, is that really a more valuable gun than one that was service grade in better shape that perhaps has an Israeli made replacement slide? What is the better "collector" piece? A part of me thinks it's a toss up, as virtually none will be all original, but they are all the real deal GI issue and were in service. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
