Because my M40 is not a true clone, I elected to incorporate a few modifications of my own design. I was never satisfied with the original swivel arrangement, so I fabricated swivels patterned after those found on the Winchester Model 70 Super Grade, utilizing two points of attachment. These swivels are inletted into the stock, preventing any possibility of twisting, and are dimensioned to accept 1¼" slings. If this project had been intended as a fully authentic clone, my approach may have been different; however, given its nature, I chose to proceed in a manner that suited my preferences.Nice work, not sure if you saw this thread.

M40 sling swivel build, a ask for help
Happy new year Gents. Striking out on finding correct sling swivels I decided to make mine. I bought a few 513 rears but with 1 inch loops. Having just restored my Di-acro #2 bender, I figured it was a good first project with it. I estimated what I thought would be a good starting point and made...www.snipershide.com
sounds compleeeetely justified to me. i mean, what reasonable person wouldn't just shoot him under those circumstances?And it appears as I read more that his older brother wasn’t a suspect in the shooting either - just seen near by by some “anonymous source “.
Beat me to it. If I remember correctly the freebore on a CLE is a bit shorter than a Wylde which is shorter than a Match.That isn't really how dies work. The only thing you can adjust when "setting up your dies" is shoulder bump or rough equivalency to headspace. Chambers that were cut with the same reamer will have differing shoulder bump requirements most of the time. The only correct way to answer your question is using this, on brass fired in the specific chamber of the Geisselle barrel you buy and then comparing it to what your die produces after sizing. No one makes 223 CLE dies or 223 Wylde dies. The biggest difference is the freebore and has nothing to do with dies or die adjustment.

Thank you, Sir, very much. There's currently daily progress on all the things this community has expressed as priorities. I believe many have learned from what we've all seen and experienced and ultimately, the community is in a better place because of it.I’d like to call you “Phoenix” as you have risen out of VGW ashes. We have all benefited from this opportunity and are rich in knowledge as well as with your support and soon with your products and parts.
We wait in high anticipation of new and superior design now that the leash has been removed and can see what should have been made if left unmettled.
If you want apprentice or testers (read Quality Eng), contact me.
