    Remington M40 SSA Commemorative

    Re: Remington M40 SSA Commemorative Mike: Well, I’m probably the last one who should tell you to “Leave it alone” as, I’ve been known to swap everything to get the rifle (or vehicle) modified to my personal preferences. So, with that in mind, only make changes that you can correct should you...

    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide Mike: Yep, same page number (194) for the drawing I have. Must be from the same book. (I sent copy via email to you.) I think the drawing if from Remington. Not the Corps!

    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide Correct on the brain pain! Well, I’ll just be happy with a six digit receiver to make my spec. clone. As to Glen’s quote: Let just give him the benefit of doubt and assume that he meant the M40A1. Still, I was surprised by his stated involvement with the Corps.

    Rifle Scopes is it true leuplod scopes are not made in u.s.?

    Re: is it true leuplod scopes are not made in u.s.? “This is because at this time, there is no American manufacturer that can supply the quantity of high quality lenses that Leupold needs for its annual Golden Ring Optics production.” But left out: “At the cost level of foreign produced...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Yeah, I said the same thing previously. Can you legally change the model designation on a receiver? Might be a No-No!

    M40a1 build guide

    Re: M40a1 build guide Pre64: Look closely at the picture of Carlos: Might need photo shop and blow up the front of the receiver. Not a Remington 700! Model 70 Winchester! Maybe just for him?

    M40a1 build guide

    Re: M40a1 build guide Pre64 Some time ago a guy posted that he was going to try and get a Redfield 3x9 Accurange scope dissembled, the aluminum parts (tubes, bells and center sections) he would get anodized green like the original supplied to the Corps. He disappeared from the hide. Now that...

    M40a1 build guide

    Re: M40a1 build guide Pre64: I wish that his son Kelly would do a run of Smears. He could get his kids involved as Gail had and I'm sure we would all buy one or two! Haha

    M40a1 build guide

    Re: M40a1 build guide Pre64, It appears to be a steel Winchester two piece, cut down, and made to fit on both sides of the trigger guard. (I must learn to post pictures, maybe next week.) I’ve since had the rifle pillar bedded with Devcon (Eddy Fosnaugh Custom Guns...

    M40a1 build guide

    Re: M40a1 build guide Check this out: Quote by Gail McMillan: "I designed the M40, trained the armors, and manufactured the stocks for it." Maybe he ment the A1? or was this an Al Gore? See: http://yarchive.net/gun/rifle/remington700.html Go to index: Great blogs from the 1990's about...

    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide Well, after spending some time searching the internet, I’ve come up with this theory: In 1965, Remington dumped the 722 action and went with the model 700 on their 40X series of rifles. In late 1966, early 1967, the order for the M40 marine rifle came in. Remington...

    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide Dennis: Somewhere I saw/read (internet) a procurement document calling for Remington to provide X number of Remington 40X – 700 receivers to the Corps. Now, I’m guessing that means whatever you want as far as, were they 40x’s or 700’s. I also note that the circulated...

    M40a1 build guide

    Re: M40a1 build guide We all know that Gail built & supplied his Fiberglass stocks to the marines. I had assumed that his glass stocks were first supplied for late M40’s or modified for his Win 70 as I saw a picture of one on Carlos Hathcock’s shoulder somewhere (found it...
