This rifle appears to be correct for an original M40. Someone hit the opening of $1300 which is cheap as hell for that. It’s one of the Remington archive rifles so very likely their internal or museum sample.
Likely OG Remington M40 up for auction

So much for that one, someone wanted it more than me.
Guess he didn’t really get out of the old stuff, just off social media lol.

I have a consecutive serial number, CMP release rebuild to 6BR….went above what I thought it was worth.
I highly doubt that... those of us that are interested in these types of rifles are always looking for them and watching these auctions long before they are posted on any forums.
It absolutely did. It brought a lot of attention to it.
I belong to a Coleman Lantern Collectors forum. It’s is forbidden to post live auctions. It’s a courtesy to members who may be bidding, and dissuades lurkers from exploiting the forum’s knowledge.
This is not a jab at those who post auctions. If it’s not a rule, then it’s fair game for discussion.

was that specops6 dude here? He drove that shit to the end of the tracks and kept the gas pedal down.
I think the buyer got a pretty good deal, he won't loose money on that rifle if he ever decides to sell it.

It keeps the bidding fair and also gives others opportunities at it that don’t have time to scout gunbroker all the time. I would have loved to snag it for the opening bid of $1300 just like anyone else.
It sold for less than the last one at CMP and most likely being Remingtons museum sample makes it way cooler and more collectible. At $8500 someone still got a great deal on it.
