Expert Grade with Service Grade parts+new stock+new Criterion barrel. This one is an excellent condition 1953 receiver, without the pitting that most CMP rifles seem to have now. SA bolt. SA trigger group, with a VERY nice trigger pull, a little over 5# and CRISP. NM op rod. Hooded sight will be swapped back to the original standard aperture that it came with, the hooded one has my corrective lens installed.
The stock has been sanded, stained, refinished, and dinged again, see the pictures, but is still VERY nice. Rich brown/reddish military finish.
Comes with 240rds of M2 ammo in a sealed spam can, the CMP certificate, armorer card, hard case, manual, clips, and reproduction leather sling .
I’ve fired less than 50 tested  flawless rounds, it cycles perfectly, and is an accurate shooter.
PM with your phone number if you are interested, the whole package including the ammo for $1050
