    Basically done, it still needs linseed oil for a while. This is after only 6 coats.

    I understand. What is the correct location for these swivels? Like 3" from the front and 3" from the back?

    ??? The 513T swivels are easy to find. I ordered 2 from Numrich should be here soon.

    M40 Build Guide

    I outlined mine on the back of the stock with a mechanical pencil. I more or less aligned the bottom of the plate with the bottom of the stock, so I could maintain the same slope at the bottom of the stock. Then I used a dremel tool to sand the wood down to OUTSIDE of the lines then fine...

    Looks like one that might attach to a carry handle of an M16

    Converting a commercial crosshair Redfield to an M40 accurange Redfield

    I'm just brainstorming here and I may be way off base but regarding microprinting on a plastic media...would it be possible to use a laser jet printer to print on a clear projector film? I have no idea what the true tombstone is like so again I could be way off lol.

    Converting a commercial crosshair Redfield to an M40 accurange Redfield

    isn't the tombstone normally to the right of the vertical crosshair?

    M40 Build Guide

    The ejection port area is my biggest complaint about the stock. I can't really lower the action into the stock anymore (without a ton of work anyway). I'm getting close to putting my final sanding on it, then starts the process of oiling it with BLO. I haven't decided if I want to stain it...

    Converting a commercial crosshair Redfield to an M40 accurange Redfield

    Mild interest here could you PM me a cost to anodize a scope and convert to tombstone? I'm sure my wife will shoot it down quicker than dick cheney's hunting buddy lol

    M40 Build Guide

    Getting close. I got the stock yesterday from Silver Hill. I have probably 6 hours in it so far. The base I got from eBay for like $15 and the scope was another eBay find. It doesn't have the range finder reticle but I don't care. The rifle is a 2006ish PSS which has a 26" barrel but who...

    Why Would Anyone Want to Shoot a Vintage Sniper Rifle?

    I agree with you on all points. Luckily I found a screaming deal on Lapua x54r brass about a year ago and snatched up 700 pieces of it. My family also lives close to the Sierra Bullet factory in Missouri so I can buy up "blemished" bullets at 2/3rds the cost and I have 8 lbs of varget and...
