"CMP Special Rack Grade (.30-06) M1 Garand. This is a partially refurbished rifle with a refinished M1 WRA receiver, new production criterion barrel, new production American Walnut stock and handguards, and new web sling. "
"Receiver will have heavy pitting above the wood line."
Pitting / shmitting! Who cares? It's been refinished and it's got a new Criterion barrel.
