    Anyone Shooting a 40x?

    Nice AI summary: "Remington introduced the swept-back bolt handle on the Model 700 in January 1962. This was part of the overall design of the new rifle which included a more streamlined tang and graceful trigger guard. The bolt handle was further swept back in 1969, but changed back to a...

    Cut rifled AR10 barrels.

    You can buy a Bartlein M24 blank and have a good machinist build it into an SR-25 or AR-10 barrel.

    Anyone Shooting a 40x?

    My ex-GI $400 CMP surplus 40X in an H-S Varmint stock set up with irons for mini-Palma (.22LR at 200 yards using the standard NRA 200-yard highpower target). I put a Murphy Precision 20-MOA base on it to mount a 10X Tasco Super Sniper for 100-yard practice. One of my nephews:

    M40A1 USMC spec clip slot drawing.

    Merry Christmas. Note the scope base and iron sight base holes are the original 6-48 and not the naval-military 8-40. M40XBs, 40Xs (both centerfire and rimfire), and M24s had the iron sight base holes on the aft-left of the receiver (700s were NOT drilled and tapped): What goes in the left...

    M110 optic history

    Infantry snipers are not USASOC (Ranger, SF, and SMU) snipers. Vanilla Army frowns on innovation and initiative so I doubt they used any variations. SOTIC (now SF Sniper School) was influenced by SMU snipers who had contracted Todd Hodnett for training around 2008-2010. Todd introduced them...

    M110 optic history

    The US Army fielded M110 with the Leupold M3LR as specified in MIL-PRF-32316 (AR) w/AMENDMENT 1, 5 October 2009 (superseding 7 October 2008). People confuse the KAC M110 (Army contract) with the USSOCOM SR-25 (1993-2000) and Mark 11 (fielded in 2000). M110 users might have US Army tapes on...

    Joseph Wambaugh

    Growing up I read most of his books and watched "Police Story" every Tuesday night. I saw Johnny Carson interview him on the Tonight Show. Many knew his name but had never seen his face. He relayed how, after a full law enforcement career, he was speeding and got pulled over. Embarrassed and...
