Re: M40 Build Guide I'm BACK!!! OK; sorry for being out of the loop for so long. Good to see all the different projects are coming along. Mine, as of today, is at least FINALLY shootable, if not 100% finished. I still need to get the bolt body and bolt plug blued and the barrel channel...

Re: My new M40 replica. As best as I have been able to find, he's correct- the early barrels have the various stamps on the right (REP in an oval, upside down heart) and the other side has a date code and inspector's number stamped in it, OR it only has the "7.62 NATO" stamped on the left...

Re: My new M40 replica. VERY nice job on the rifle! And yes; the Numrich stocks do take a lot of sanding on the front end. I like how yours came out. I think I may have to do some more to my own before it's done. What did he do for receiver, scope base and barrel markings? Perhaps you...
