Are there viable sources other than CMP? Checked the CMP web-site lately brody? All they have left are barreled receivers and the photos ain't so pretty.

The barreled receiver had matching parking with the barrel. The barrel appeared to be unused. It measured between 0 and 1 on the CMP muzzle gauge. In an answer to a post on the CMP forum, Orest Michaels advised that many barrels dated in the 60's were affixed to receivers and never mounted on rifles. He opined that mine was just such a barrel. Unfortunately, the price had gone up to $150 by the time I bought mine. Later finished off with the parts from a "woodless Dane" and a new CMP stock.

That'll save a lot of money over having my CAI junk receiver swapped out and a SA or H&R receiver added on. Oh boy, all the bloggers here will probably be cringing after reading this post.
