Building my first M40 for the Vintage Sniper matches.

This is a virgin Remington 700 RR prefix stripped receiver. It has no wear marks at all and has never had a bolt installed. I pulled the barrel off this receiver for the previous owner 2 years ago. The barrel is new and un-fired. I just hand screwed it on for the picture.

This will be for Vintage Sniper matches. The stock should be an original M40 stock.

I'll need a complete bolt, M40 compliant barrel, scope mount, magazine, stock metal, maybe a new recoil lug and trigger assembly. Can I use an upgraded recoil lug in the VS matches?

Any advice will be appreciated while I comb through the M40 archives.

I will be going with a Bartlein barrel.

Would this be the proper bolt? It appears to be new, unused.

I have the buttplate, but no sling swivels. :(

Here is a picture of the brass pin in the left side of the stock.

The stock was damaged during my move in 2022. It had some serious dents.

I spent an hour or so steaming out the dents last night with a wet rag and an industrial heat gun. Here's the same spot after about an hour of steaming and sanding.

Here's another area that I'm working on. The dents were much worse but they're almost gone. After this, there will be no more dents. There were three dents in this image.

This stock is abandoned property. I was stripping this stock for a customer about 10 years ago. He was supposed to bring me the action to be bedded after the stock was done but he disappeared.

I haven't touched it in 10 years since I stripped it. It still has some stains I need to remove. I don't even remember how I stripped it. I might have used oven cleaner.

There is still some leftover bedding that needs to be removed by hand in some spots. I'm talking about the little bedding spots outside the actual intended bedding area.

I'm also thinking I should finish the action and bed the stock before I stain and finish the wood. No sense in committing all this time on a wood finish only to risk damaging the finish during the bedding process.

Realistically, I don't have the budget to go all-out on a historically accurate clone. I'll go with the Bartlein barrel and I don't mind using reproduction parts, as long as they're as good or better than the original. I just want to build a rifle that qualifies for the vintage sniper matches. I'll probably use a current production Leupold 3-9x40 hunting scope. I'd like to use the best trigger allowed, so if anyone knows what's the best performing trigger, please let me know.

Does anyone know where I can get the correct bottom metal, magazine, follower and action screws? I'm new to M40's and I couldn't tell what's right or wrong.

Are PTG bolts as good or better than the factory bolts?

On the 5th visit in 14 days to an abusive home they shoot the baby

Crazy phyco drug using baby abusing cunt
Worthless abusive baby daddy
No one doing anything to protect this 2 month old the police had 5 encounters with her in 14 days .


Day before fatal encounter COS worker and grandmother ask police to help them take the child

So after monumental failures of the entire system- they FUCKING shoot the BABY.

This is so fucked up all the way around .

That crazy bitch was a fighter ; not like the old lady’s they usually tune up so the answer was to do nothing until it came time to spray rounds .

T3x barrel profiles & bolt

I've decided to go the Tikka route, and right now am choosing between the Hunter & the superlite. Given I'll be dropping the barreled action into a McMillan a5 (channeled for a heavy pre-fit) and shooting the factory tikka barrel out until then, is there a reason to go with the hunter over the lite or superlite? They are the same cost at the store I'm looking.

At first I was told the only differences in the T3x line was the stock and fluting of the barrel, but google says the Hunter model has a thicker profile. Can anyone confirm this?

1) is it the same profile as the CTR?
2) does anyone know the profile of the Tac A1 barrel or if that's the same as the CTR?
3) is the bolt handle the only difference in the action between the CTR/Tac a1, and the rest of the T3x lineup?

.308 win - reloading same brass for bolt action and an AR-10

I have a .308 win BA rifle and an AR-10 rifle and my questions is, because fired brass forms to the chamber, should I keep brass fired in bolt action rifle separate from AR-10 and vice versa for easier reloading?

Is anyone using the same brass for a bolt action and a gas rifle? If yes, what is your experience with reloading same brass? Do you find that you need to trim your brass more often, or something else...?

They have that look. Fat lips, passive aggressive smirk, evil eyes. Recognize it. Remember it.

Amateur OSINTer posting potential targets in Yemen , US military bombs them

Amateur open source inteligence dupes buy satellite photos of Yemen and then insinuate they found xyz ,missile site ,underground bunker etc

this one Found a quarry, claimed its a secret base , US military bombed some inocent folks homes , more likely than not based on that , then dupe says sorry donates couple of bucks and its back to idiots being idiots.

Anyone that has followed US bombing in Yemen sees that there is massive lack of actionable inteligence and its back to bombing weddings funerals, tribal gatherings,migrant detenction centers etc.... some civilian infrastructure and now some random peoples houses because someone posted it on twatter.

Do I need match ammo at 100 yards? Or is it a waste of money?

Probably a rookie question, but I’m trying to learn whatever I can.

Let’s say I’m primarily focused on practicing my fundamentals and I’m not yet trying to match my rifle and which load is optimal. And I only have access to factory ammo.

I’m shooting a 20” ar chambered in 556, 1:8 twist, stainless bull barrel. I’m using 1” pasters as poa.

If I start at 50 yards, I don’t see any reason to be choosy about the ammo I bring. I mostly shot IMI 55gr fmj and 62gr m855.

I’m going to the range on Friday to continue practicing, but at 100 yards. Again, I’m primarily looking to practice fundamentals and get familiar with the new rifle, but hitting where I’m aiming is one of the primary ways to determine if I’m doing it right.

At a short range like 100 yards, do I need to start bringing higher quality ammo? Or should I expect close to the same results as at 50 yards with the basic stuff?

By “close to the same”, I mean consistency in being able to troubleshoot MY shooting, not extreme accuracy.

Thank you for any advice!!

Mike’s Stocks barrels?

I’m aware of the usual recommendations when it comes to quality 10/22 barrels, but I really don’t want to spend $425+ on a barrel.

I was gifted a 10/22 takedown and I want to make a decent backpack gun out of it. It’s got a nice trigger and a Boyd’s thumbhole stock, but I have a Magpul Hunter for it now. The stock is odg, and I’m going for either the black on odg or fde on odg aesthetic.

I want to get a threaded 16” bull barrel and a lightweight scope for it. I found Mikes Stocks on eBay. He sells blued fluted takedown barrels for $225ish.

Does anyone have experience with his barrels? I don’t need world class accuracy, but reliability is a big factor.

Thanks for any input!
