down to the low end, 8000. initially it was up to 10000. I have a feeling that the majority of these guns are going to be pretty rough, and they'll be selling them as such after refurbishing as best they can. It's not like the garands where they have tons of parts to make better guns.
They're using a lottery system to determine who gets first pick on guns. My recommendation would be to pick the highest grade you can afford and available , cause a lot of these are going to be rack grade clunkers.
