Ah, remember that these are surplus rifles offered used "As is" from CMP. I have two very nice copies of the Service Grade and they shoot fairly accurately. Keep in mind that these battle rifles were designed to be accurate to "Minute of Torso". I can ring the 300 yd gong at the range with mine. At 100 yds they shoot within the seven ring. You can have them worked and almost restored to original condition for a lot bigger investment. With a new barrel I'm sure they would please you, but I believe that auto-loading rifles are not all that accurate. I'll keep mine as they are for now for historic collectibles. Hope this helps you.
