    Help with M40A1 carrying case

    M40A1s did see use in Pelican 1750s. They were used during the invasion.

    M40's and MIRS rails

    From what I have been told, there were only 2 scopes made that were "USMC-SPEC" marked.

    M40's and MIRS rails

    The experimentation that most people see took place on M40A3s due to the time period of global conflict, lessons learned, and attempts to make a better rifle for the guys. Also happened with the development of night vision technology. By comparison, the years prior were pretty static. It took...

    Other vintage rifle forums? (for son)

    Yeah, Gunboards has been around for 27 years and has hundreds of thousands of members. It’s like Arfcom, but for vintage guns from all over the world.

    New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me

    There was a time when I went to a competition, and I shot really well, even placed 1st as an individual. Fast forward to the next year, for some reason, my rings had loosened. My partner shot really well, I did not. I discovered the problem at the end of the shoot. Wondered why I was shooting so...

    M24 Prototype up for grabs

    That's cool you won it for a great price. Seems like a lot of these types of auctions get a lot of attention and when people post about it, kinda takes away your hope that it falls through the cracks and not seen.

    Are DD Ross and Badger M40A3 style clip slotted bases unobtanium?

    That's a PTG made piece, not DD Ross.

    M40a3 ops prototype

    If you look at that third picture with the S&B scopes, you see some indicators of the time period of that picture. You Gen I and Gen II turret housings. @Trigger Monkey will be able to correct me, but I believe the time period was around 2009.

    Parker Hale M85 replica - Mission Impossible?

    I wish you luck. One day I will make an L42A1 clone. Think it would be a fun project.

    МЦ-55 Zenit rifle by Yevgeny Dragunov

    I've seen many "trashed" bores shoot excellent. The most important thing is the crown.

    Swiss ZK31 Israeli sniper rifle.

    Yeah. I have been a Swiss collector for going on 24 years if I have my math right. The stream has been steady for just as long, though it’s been on a long slope downward. It’s getting close “to the bottom” if you ask me. I’ve talked with a lot of Swiss collectors in Switzerland and the interest...

    Swiss ZK31 Israeli sniper rifle.

    As I had said at Gunboards, this rifle sold for 7X what the average selling price has been for the last 12+ that have been sold over the last 10 years. It was utterly ridiculous. Bidding was over before it even began, so to speak. The auctioneer starts off the lot saying, “Prepare yourselves...
