Yes and No ... The South Store does not have any regular Service Grade Garands in the store. As they grade them, they are used to fill mail orders only. With CMP, mail orders take priority over store sales. The store stocks those items that are not back logged due to mail orders. It actually took 30 days to the day to get this one via mail order. I suggested the HRA because they are the latest production (Korean Vintage and after) and the ones I have seen lately were in pretty nice shape - actually in much better condition that the grading criteria used by CMP.

If interested, PM me and I'll can assist you .....
