New Order Timeline

[Arclight1969]

They offer to change your order, because
their backed up on Service Grades. I think it's
1050.00 for the IHC Service.

Arclight,
Thanks for the response, but isn't $1050 the everyday price for a service grade
IHC???

Arrived today - #4.56M IHC with what seems to be the original 5/53 LMR barrel. 0 ME/0+ TE so it should be a great shooter!

That’s weird. I mailed mine in a month before you did and did the IHC offer and I’ve still not even had my credit card hit.

But congrats on your rifle that sounds like a nice one

It's actually $1080, but the CMP hasn't offered an IHC Service Grade since 2018, I think? So, it was a worthwhile upgrade for me. They aren't giving you a "break" on the cost of the rifle. Just giving you the option to order an IHC in SG condition, and get it sooner than waiting your turn due to the covid backlog. I think they told me if I didn't take the IHC offer, it would be another 2-3 weeks for a regular RM1Service.

Based on the post it looks like their somewhat catching up on service grade order. I wonder how much longer it’s going to be for those of us that order special grades....?

Emailed them yesterday to ask on status, apparently my background check was delayed for some reason. Credit card hit today, no shipping info yet.
