M40 stocks are these original

cplnorton
Here is a little better side by side with a 1969 CMP Remington 700 Govt Sniper and a 1966 M40 stock off a Marine rifle.

The pistol grip extends further down on the 1969 stock than the 1966. Also on the 1969 stock the bump behind the rear sight isn't as pronounced. Even from distance you can see the bump on the 1966, but up close you barely see it on the 1969.

If you compare the two of the OP above they remind me of the stocks I see on the 1969 CMP rifles. Now one could argue the semantics of the M40 name as technically only the Marines used that name and the other branches that received these Remington 700 Govt Snipers didn't. But that is a whole other subject and would likley be splitting hairs. :)

I literally bought almost that much, and we’ve shot more than that (if we also count .22LR) in the past 30 days.

Edit: to clarify… I bought almost that much across multiple calibers, including handgun ammo. And when I say “we’ve” shot that much, it’s my regular group of 4 plus two spouses, so 4-6 people shooting almost every weekend; not really all that much per person actually.

We go through a lot of ammo… Which is why I’m always excited when PSA puts their 77 and 75gr stuff on sale! LoL

KAHLES K624i - EYEBOX COMPARED TO PRESENT SCOPES

cramey74
The latest generation of K624’s are fantastic in my opinion. I have spent time with what I believe is the 2nd gen. It was also good, but there is a noticeable difference in clarity. The new unit seems brighter. Very easy to stay behind for long periods of time.

A. That did not look like it achieved anything.

B. The big dude actually wrestling the dog off of the intended target did 99.9% of the heavy lifting.

C. Whatever that other guy did not only looked weird as hell, almost like he wanted to do it for a long time and finally found an opportunity to, but his running to and fro while the other guy was doing all the work reminds one of the actions of these super scared and incompetent folks who start "zigzagging" erratically when a minor shop fire breaks out, adding to the chaos until a Chad arrives on scene and simply plops a heavy board over the burning waste pail, snuffing out the fire's oxygen source.

D. Oh, and of course, this video is now viral and accessible worldwide, so that dude will be spending many sleepless nights ruminating on just how many people are watching it and laughing at him at any given moment. Yikes. LOL.

I heard that grabbing the dogs rear legs and lifting them up like a wheelbarrow is an effective method to stop or disrupt an aggressive dog attack

If anything needs to be brought back, its the likes of Sacagawea, (Shonshone tribe) or Noccalula, (Cherokee, tribe) to teach the so called American woman what real woman were once. Most men are real tied of all the fake shit that's been "bread" into 99% of them these days. One of the reasons most single,... thinking American men, are looking for Asian only now.

I have not tried AR Comp.
I use 2000MR with success for lighter bullets 150 gr to 200 gr, and RL 17 for 175, 176, 177 gr, and others like 230 Atip.
The 2000MR is easier to obtain than RL 17.

AR comp appears good top velocity with 125 and 130 gr, but falls off after 168 gr according to this manual it comes out last in the 168 gold dot for velocity. But good in the 168 match.
Here it Max's out a 100 fps slower than than 2000MR under regular pressure loads.
But that only means it will not be super fast, but it may be fast enough and accurate enough for your needs to make a perfect load for you...so you'll just have to try it.

It's been several years since I've used 2000MR in my .308. Yes, I got good velocity and found a couple good loads, but I stopped as I was not getting the consistency I look for due to wide range of temperatures I shoot in here in AZ. 😵‍💫

I've also got some RL17 that I've used for 185 Jugs that also would perform quite well, but had the same kind of problem with temp sensitivity. :rolleyes:

That's the age old thing that has been a "feature" of religion since the dawn of time.
Those practicing priestcraft (aka religion for profit) very quickly form an alliance with the government whereby the government and the religious leaders work hand in hand to keep the masses subservient to each other for profit and power.

What's funny is if you used to play old school Sim City or Sim Civilization, that was like a feature, when the populace was rising up against your tyrannical taxation and rules, you could spend some money to buy off the local priests and build them fancier buildings and have them preach to the people that it was god's will for them to submit to their ruler.

Lots of folks here have a bit of the blinders on and only see it happening in "Christian" churches, but go take a look at things like Islam or many eastern religions and they are even more blatant about religion supporting political power (and of course political power gives religion the friendly reach around for their trouble as well).

said this many times and you are totally correct. "render unto Cesar". helps the gov get their piece and justifies using their lethal police power to force everyone to follow your controlling "moral" code. Islam being built on the combining of church and state. Christianity and Judaism use a 2 sided mutually supporting process to control the population and enrich both. "render unto Cesar" but let our huge churches and multiple property and financial holdings off tax free.
both gov and religion are all,and only,about control,control,control. i always thought that freedom OF religion should also include freedom FROM religion. that varies a lot of course over time and location.

M40 stocks are these original

cplnorton
I have noticed as I've researched these rifles that there are variations in the stocks between early and late.

This is a 1966 stock vs my buddies 1969 from the CMP. His 1969 on top, my 1966 on bottom. Notice how the 1969 pistol grip extends further down just like the OP's two above. Also the hump on my buddy's 1969 doesn't have near as much of the distinct hump behind the safety, compared to the 1966.

I really think the OP has two of the very late production stocks like you see on 1969 Remington 700 Govt Sniper rifles that went to the Air Force and Navy.
