19. If they follow the pattern, the way they did with the Garands and Carbines ...

They'll safety check every gun; manual safety, grip safety, Out of Battery function etc.

Sort them by manufacturer to help set prices.

Check for the level of muzzle wear on the barrel and rate the wear.

Field strip and examine each major component and springs for damage or wear.

Perform basic function tests.

Replace any broken parts and scrap unsafe or non-functioning guns for parts.

Probably sold with one magazine, like the Granads with 1 clip or the Carbines with 1 ten round magazine.

I don't believe they test fire them.

Got 2 Garands, 2 Carbines and 1 '03 from the CMP. (Have the issue history on the Garands too; 1 went to the 1st Fleet Marine Force in 1943, 1 to the Big Red One in 1944) All are better shooters than I am.
