That's a new one on me. Never seen such labeling for CPO SIGs. The Part Number label actually says that? For example, UDE229R-9-NOS?

Q;

Are there printed books, websites, clubs ,periodicals ,or other forums that you access, that the rest of us can gain the type of knowledge that you possess? Please take this as the compliment I mean it to be. I hope you never tire doing this for us, in many cases you are the "sharp edge of the sword" when it comes to the fine details we all cherish. Thank you Sir.

I'm interested in the "as new" and "new old stock" that you mentioned. Are they dealer/vendor's assignments, or are they actually SIG factory's labeling? I've seen dealers/sellers assigning the "Like new" or even "New" to SIG's Grade 1 (Excellent condition) CPOs all the time, and that's nothing new (pun not intended). But, as far as SIG factory CPO assignments are concerned, I've only seen Excellent or VG on their labels. SIG would never assign "new" or "new old stock" to their CPOs, as they are always considered used guns. Once the guns have left the factory and then come back, they can never be considered "new" guns again by SIG, even if they have been sitting in PD inventory unfired all these years.

I think now is it just vendor mislabeling of CPO "B1" Excellent graded guns

because is there an NRA grade "New" I don't think so

Below the gun being sold is this MPN: UDE229-40-B1<----"Excellent" but is being called factory certified as new

I will check my latest box when I finish working and make sure but I bet its a B1 also.
