It wasn't common, but there were some M40A1's that stayed in the Corps for quite a while after the M40A3's and even the M40A5's were the standard USMC sniper rifle. I was in Fallujah, Iraq feom 2008 to 2009, and we had an A1 as a regional asset that stayed in Iraq. When we ripped with 1/7, they received our regional assets like the 4 XM3's and the single M40A1. So, that A1 was still in active use (one of our older team leaders immediately grabbed it and used it during our deployment) until about 2010 when 1/7's deployment probably ended. I have no idea what happened to it after that.View attachment 8658706
2/23 Marines SS Plt. in Morocco. I wanna say maybe 2004 or early 2005? I know it was pretty late to still have these in inventory and all the fellas had heard about the mystical A3’sdecent couple shots of some of the equipment also including some makeshift tripods. Don’t recall if the bags were Tactical Tailor or something else.
So, there were a few A1's still in use when A3's and A5's were the standard USMC sniper rifle. Thank you for posting those photos, it's pretty rare to see photos of A1's in use after the A3's have been around for many years. Hopefully more photos like these will surface over the coming years.

The stock on the P17 sucked. The C stock on the 03 match rifles was much better. Even with a cock on opening conversion the P17 action was clunky and not nearly as smooth as an 03 action. I built a hunting rifle on a Winchester P17 action in .308 Norma, with the cock on open conversion, custom stock and lots of polishing inside I still prefer the 03 action. I have a Remington 30 Express which is a commercial version of the P17 and it’s an okay rifle to hunt with but nothing special.

From an evolutionary point of view, beauty and an attractive body shape are two markers of physical and psychological health, along with the concept of “good genes” and a healthy immune system [1]. Thus, beauty and an attractive body shape reflect the concept of a healthy physiology that is free of genetic disorders and infectious diseases. In this context, Wald [2] observed that thinkers and artists throughout history have believed facial beauty and particularly facial symmetry to be associated with psychological characteristics such as honesty, reliability and trustworthiness. Gordon et al. [3] found, among adolescents, that physical attractiveness was associated with better social integration, less social stigma and higher academic attainment. Likewise, Kirsch et al. [4] concluded in their review of the associations of neuronal processes with human faces and bodies (both static and dynamic), that specific neural areas are responsible for the processing of beautiful faces and bodies. Thus, Kirsch et al. [4] offer a neuronal explanation as to why humans want and like symmetric and beautiful faces and bodies. It follows, therefore, that concepts of beauty should also be found in countries such as Iran, even though for cultural and religious reasons, large parts of a female’s body are covered, including scalp hair, which again from an evolutionary point of view is considered a signal of attractiveness and physical health.
