    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide "As shown on the Remington Drawing, referencing the M40-700 clip-slot. This one is very intricate and removes the front screw hole on the rear receiver bridge. Referenced as M40. As shown on Page 194 of Death From Afar, by Chandler" (this thread, posted by Mike)

    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide Well, I Give Up! You guys argue about what are the “Correct Sling Swivels” ad nauseam: But apparently don’t know about the “Clip Slots!"

    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide Skunk: The question is relative to; “What type of Clip-Slot was present on the original receivers (completed rifles) sold to the Corps. for the M40’s?” Was it the one shown in Chandler’s book “Death from Afar”(from Iron Brigade Armory) (only one hole in the rear bridge)...

    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide O.K., So we know (think?) that there are at least three different types of Clip-Slots found on Remington 700’s: 1. One, as shown on the Remington Drawing, referencing the M40-700 clip-slot. This one is very intricate and removes the front screw hole on the rear...

    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide My son sent one of our Spec. M40A1's to GAP for clip-slot machining last month. They said they will send it out and get it done once they have six receivers to do. I’m assuming that they have a machine shop do this for them.

    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide Still, we seem to agree that Remington did the clip slots on the M700’s for the Corps. Now: How do we explain the commercial Model 700’s having the same clip slots that have been reported? Was this an option? There is also a later rectangular clip slot on the commercial...

    M40a1 build guide

    Re: M40a1 build guide They told me today that they can spray clear Gel-Coat or that it can be tinted. Will try and see what that looks like. Some of the return stocks have been chewed up in service pretty bad. The fiberglass matting shows through (I have one like that). So, maybe, maybe...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 3200 versus SWFA SS 10x42

    Re: Bushnell 3200 versus SWFA SS 10x42 The SS 10X40 is better than the Bushnel 10X40. Both of these scopes were derived from the Bausch & Lomb 4000 10X40 which was better than either. For the money: get the SS 10X40.

    M40a1 build guide

    Re: M40a1 build guide Pre64: Went to a boat show in Atlantic City today. Spoke with a guy that does fiberglass repairs. I told him about these fiberglass smear stocks and asked if he could put a top gel coat over the stock with the smear type feature. I’ll find out next week as we are going...

    M40a1 build guide

    Re: M40a1 build guide Mike: Look closely at the front of the receiver, right side. You can see the serial number above the gas port hole. Winchester Model 70! I know that a lot of these guys are trying to duplicate every nuance of Spec. Builds. But in the real world: they did a lot of...
