My HRA was a 99% 5.62 HRA. Except for an SA oprod and bolt it would have been a collector grade. it's one sweet shooter. It's a cosmolene nightmare though. I should have let it do more sweating in the sun this past summer.
Finally got the chance to clean it up and really look it over. Fire control group is HRA but everything else is SA. Only had time to put 8 rounds through it. Soft, easy shooter. No adjustment to the sights and hitting a fence post at 77 yards was a piece of cake. Just need to lay a tarp out for the empties to land on. This is going to be fun.
I just received one on Friday that is all HRA, but has a SA FCG! Mine also came with a stock that appears to have once been on a 7.62 Navy M1 from the Crane Naval Depot.

Funny. I am still learning about these things but it appears my stock has nothing different about it. Basic SA.
Any cartouches? I received 2 on Friday and both had interesting stocks. The second was a birch Letterkenny (LEAD), but the rest of the rifle was NOT a LEAD rebuild.
How do you know it's not a LEAD rebuild? The early ones often were not marked on the receiver leg, as the SOP calling for that didn't go into effect till the early 1960s. I had one for a while.
