    New McMillan HTG M40A1 smear stocks!!!

    They probably don't want the onslaught of emails asking about them despite any blatant sold sign or deletion of a buy button they would put on the links. Makes it like bigfoot sightings. You hear the frantic claims of witnesses, maybe see a grainy photo and hear Leonard Nimoy announcing "In...

    Actually I've never hit that mail button before that I can remember. I'll have to look. I may have a lot of apologies to make for ignoring that button.

    As usual, I never saw a thing but at least I don't have to go through the "I had one in my cart...." 😏 Someone should have the pictures up on here this afternoon sometime. That's always interesting to view.

    True, any number they decide to. I just have fun with what-ifs in a countdown production format.

    When I pictured more runs I thought of 40, 30, 20 and 10 for 150 total and done.

    If this run of smears is going to stay unique from any following runs/production, the winner will still have a limited item so easily may not care. That one idea could be cool. Make your own smear. It would be very personal in that respect. The beginnings of a future family heirloom.

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    He's waiting on a pic-a-nic basket full of fresh finished mounts. Bear-ly containing himself.

    So likely 10 or less like that. If that group was split between two machines then no more than 5 likely. The unique histories continue even with new production.

    So you got an extra special oopsmear. You'll have to build it with the bigger lug to keep it's uniqueness. Wonder how few oopsmears are in people's hands?

    Those stickers are neat but the rifles and stocks represented weren't around in '73. 🤓 Would have been cooler with crossed m40a1 with 1973 on one side and 2023 on the other. Even better, as a challenge coin. That could be a project for LRI.

    Wow, it was still two hundred something the last I saw. I kinda hoped it'd stay that way till the end. I'd join and snatch it up for 300. lol Another dream snatched away by reality.

    Think I'm looking at that one now. Its got an extra uncle mikes added for a harris bipod. It has a interesting fill. I've seen a couple with that sorta fudge swirl look. Don't know what that indicates for age or time period of manufacture. It's a darker green base for the forrest pattern...

    I wouldn't say shady but definitely trying to draw as many eyes as possible. That's like many auctions will put firearm names or brand names that aren't what is being auctioned in the title/description so that they pop up in as many searches as possible.
