    M40A3 questions need answered!

    Re: M40A3 questions need answered! I have just a few corrections. 1. Correction on the last 4 stamped on the bolt handle as well. 3. On the M40a3 the prefix was E. I didnt see any that were C. The M40a5 has a prefix G and I think that those are brand new actions. This is based on...

    Gunsmithing Removing bluing/protecting metal?

    Re: Removing bluing/protecting metal? I found an easy way to do that is to soak it in vinigar. I did that to a couple of things and it worked out pretty good. I clean it just like you would normally and no rust.

    M40A3 Bipod sling and case

    Re: M40A3 Bipod sling and case Hard case is a pelican model 1750. Since you have a Unertl and you want to be correct with the sling then its a leather sling stamped with MRT along with month and year on it. But if you are going with a S&B then the above mentioned sling is correct.

    M40A1

    Re: M40A1 Chandler M40s are not spec and they will not build you one that is. For whatever they dont. You cant go wrong with GAP or TBA. Both build excellent rifles.

    Gunsmithing De-pimp my bolt

    Re: De-pimp my bolt I know what you mean I HATE the jeweling on a bolt. I have one that Im going to use for my M40a1 build and I want it gone. I also think that if you put it on a lathe and use sandpaper might also do the trick. I havent tried it yet though need to get a mandrel for the...

    M40a1 build guide

    Re: M40a1 build guide I have a question about the black oxide finish that was used on the M40a1. The process that was used, was it hot or cold black oxide? How hard would it be to do the cold finish? Is the black oxide still used on the M40a5? Thanks

    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide I didnt know that but I checked them and they are correct. Im trying to avoid taking one of the screws out of my Remington M40 and to go the stores to see if one matches. Wonder if you could get one from Brownells or Midway. If not then going to gun shows and see.

    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide I dont know how many people would have the stamps to do the inspector codes and all that. Barrel blanks are just that, blanks with nothing on them at all. Your gunsmith would have to thread, chamber, and crown the gun. There are other ways you can get them but if you...

    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide I measured my M40 from Remington and its only 23" from the recoil lug. Very interesting. Has anyone done the clipslotting themselves? I have a mill and I wanted to do it myself. Is this a hard operation to do or not?

    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide Joker that is a great looking action. Mike does great work but he does take a long time. What stock are you going to use and where did you get it? I do have one question, we say that the barrel is 24", now is that that the overall or is that measured from the recoil...
