M40A2 - What was it?

So I got the book "The Complete Book of US Sniping" by Peter Senich and in the section about the M40A1, it shows a picture of a rifle and calls it the M40A2. Now I've never heard of this, I always assumed it went from A1 to A3 (although didn't know why). So what was different about the M40A2 compared to an A1? I see that it has a bipod attached and what appears to be a Leupold Optic instead of the Unterl.

On a somewhat related note while trying to do some research I found this:

Accessories Really Right stuff- SC-ARC Bipod Clamp

The clamp is brand new. It will do picatinny or arca with there rlok system. The dial that you adjust got scratched but they are sending me a new one so they won't be an issue. I bought it but didn't fit on the new accutac lp50 bipod I bought. I can add a bipod to the deal if your looking for a package deal.

They wouldn't take it back so since I can't use it I need to sale it.

$160 shipped save $15 on it with free shipping.

New Prefit Installed

For years my gunsmith has prepped barrels for me and I have installed them without any problems.

Needing a new barrel in a window that my gunsmith’s time line couldn’t meet, I purchased a nice prefit barrel. I installed it, the go gauge was perfect and the no-go closed a slight amount, may 1/4 the way and locked up solid, not much different than my other experiences. BTW this is a new action, not previously used.

Breaking in the barrel was normal as far as I could tell, chambering was fine, unlocking the action and ejecting the case was normal. Cleaning disclosed quite a bit of copper.

Measuring the fired cases, my comparator gave me a measurement of 1.245” consistently over the ten cartridges. My other action and barrel, gave me 1.243”.

Lots of variables here, barrels made by different companies, different reamers, and different gunsmiths. Are the slight variation in cases indicative of any issues or are they within the normal limits? Thanks for any insight.

F38A2699-3813-4894-8679-A9B691BA3C30.jpeg
First bolt action I have put together myself. With the easier than I expected. Just had to find the parts. Built this with the intent of getting into PRS and learning how to shoot better for hunting. Now I just need to figure out how to do this reloading thing. Hope to do a ladder test this week from 32-33grains if Varget.

Build List:

Impact 737 Action
Foundation Genesis 2 Stock
Proof Research 1/7.5 Dasher Prefit Barrel
Hawkins Bottom Metal
Trigger Tech Diamond Trigger
Area 419 Hellfire Brake
Leica PRS 5-30x56 Scope
B&T Atlas Bipod

I have a Nightforce Atacr 7-35 MilXT on order for this rifle, but took the Leica of my big game rifle until it comes in.

Going to use:
Alpha Munitions 6 Dasher Brass
Berger Hybrid 105s
Varget
BR4 Primers

Accessories SLR B15 SD 5" 300BLK Complete Upper

Bought this not long ago, shoots really well actually. I just prefer to shoot 300blk in a bolt gun more so than a semi-auto. No more than 100 rounds on it. Comes with everything it came with from SLR as well as a Q plan b cherry bomb for suppressor use.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

User colors, tag meanings? Plus 2x supporter tag question

Is there a post explaining all the different permutations of user colors and tags? This is not a criticism but I’m a bit confused.

For example: Green user @hafejd30 with apparently the same membership level as me (I’m blue):
1751563746344.png

1751563768164.png


What’s the difference between blue vs green people?

I do understand, I think correctly, the orange guys are new, but am not sure what the “new” cutoff time period is.

And then we have “Full Member” but apparently not a paying one (below):
1751564131757.png


Here’s who I think is a new member but does pay:
1751564611674.png


Here’s who I think is a new member that doesn’t pay:
1751564349281.png


Then you have people like this with two supporter tags. Wtf?
1751563811996.png


Below is a green version of the Legend level. Not sure if there is a blue version as well?

Swore I read about the colors somewhere when the user colors were changed, but I cannot find the post.

SOLD WTS/WTT Leupold mk6 h59

Wanting to sell or trade my mk6 3-18 for other optics. Love the scope and it tracks perfectly, just dont love the h59. Included will be a larue qd mount. Scope and mount have been painted but paint has been removed from the scope, and mostly from the mount. Glass is perfect, just a little dirty in the pictures. Tenebraex covers are included, however the rear one has a crack, hence the tape. Open to all trade offers, but would like to trade for a t6xi 3-18. Cash price for scope and mount is ***SOLD***
