    Best looking Canadian "T" I have seen

    Wow... notice how the rifling is sharp? Amazing. I wonder if the barrel is matching. My Long Branch all the have the serial on the barrel shank. Funny the last digit is blacked out on the receiver pics, but not on the buttstock and scope.

    M40 Build Guide

    Agree with above comments. Thing is, I dont believe there is a 1st Gen in existence that has been kept from the sunlight and shows its true original color. That being said, it would be hard to replicate the exact same color. I think Toki has nailed it pretty good though. Personaly, I prefer the...

    CMP M40 auction

    I just noticed that this action is very close to the 2 7-digit USMC M40 presentation rifles: 6257207 and 6257259 I think there is a third one close in Senich's book...

    Converting a commercial crosshair Redfield to an M40 accurange Redfield

    Since the M40 trend started a few years ago, prices have gone thru the rooftop. I've seen of-the-shelf commercial 1st Gen sell for 500$+ on eBay. This is ridiculous. People didnt over bother to look at them before. I've seen them sells for 50$ at gunshows not 5 years ago. Most of these scopes...

    It says: "Bolt is serialized to the action, and has good headspace. " ;)

    The muzzle end looks a bit smaller in diameter vs the M40A1 profile. It has quite a taper to it. I can be wrong though, pictures are sometimes misleading.

    CMP M40 auction

    That answers my question, thank you sir ;) As I live in Canada, I am not fully aware of the CMP and miltary arms surplus and how it operates. Authentic as in 'real' Army or whatever property. I never mentioned USMC or M40. I just wanted to know how to authenticate it, whatever the...

    CMP M40 auction

    Marty, Any way you can confirm that this barreled action is authentic? It doesnt seems to come with any authenticity papers... The experts will say it is authentic, but nowadays, we never know.

    M24-Rebuild anyone recieve one ?

    Barrel bore from land-to-land is suppose to be dead-on at .300 (7.62mm). Good quality barrels are bore (should be) with a tolerance of +- 0.0001". Measurements from groove-to-groove (.308) can vary though, depending on the type of rifling. Barrel should be stamped "7.62 NATO".

    Guys, remember that the Numrich is actually a Remington products from the mid-80's (700 Police rifles). Quite far from the M40. Its close, but no cigar. Here it is mounted in one of my 7-digit Varmint Special. It is a very nice stock, I wont do anything to it. Being a Remington products, it is...
