    100% Clone Incorrect Transitional M40A1

    I love this build, those urban camo stocks are extremely cool! Not every build needs to be clone correct, just have fun with an awesome custom rifle! This was cool to see, hopefully you can update this thread with a range report soon.

    2025 Scout Sniper Association M40A5 rifle raffle

    I'm sorry to hear that and I also received the private message. I just brought this up to JT (CEO of the SSA) and other members of the organization. As soon as they have a solution, I'll post it here. I'm also having our web site guy try to see if there's anything wrong with the raffle ticket...

    M40 badger vs dd rail

    Yes, a Badger Ordnance scope base would be incorrect on an early M40A3. DD Ross won the contract a year or 2 before the 2112's started building the very first M40A3's that were issued to Scout Sniper units (building A3's started on December 7, 2001). Badger didn't supply scope bases until many...

    M40 badger vs dd rail

    There's lot's of physical differences, but the only one that really matters is the size of the rear lug. If you fit the receiver for a Badger base with a smaller rear lug, then a DD Ross base won't be able to drop into the Badger receiver cuts. If you fit the receiver for a DD Ross base with a...

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    Indeed it is, but besides the serial number list (which is just used for verification), everyone here has access to the exact same information that I do. There's nothing to separate us. These XM3 threads contain tons of information and even detailed photos of original USMC XM3's and their...

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    Yep, it just goes to show how little the people at the CMP actually know. Remember, they aren't collectors and historians like we are, they're just regular people working a regular job. It's understandable that they wouldn't know the specifics about certain rifles (even M83 sniper rifles are...

    CMP to offer a MK13 mod 3 on auction

    The entire MIRS rail is painted and there's no unpainted spots where the rings should have been attached? And the paint is in a completely ridiculous color and camo pattern? Hmm, almost as if the paint on this rifle is completely fake......

    Mk 13 Mod 0 stock

    Certificates that are being mailed out to people, and I've verified the authenticity of each stock. I still have 8 more stocks to look at and issue certificates for. Pretty crazy that another 18+ original Mk13 McMillan stocks have surfaced! I'll post a photo of the next 8 certificates when I'm...

    M40A3 badger bm and MST-100

    No, don't use a Unertl MST-100 with a Badger Ordnance M5 bottom metal. We switched to the S&B M8541 SSDS in 2006, and that's what was used on the A3's from then on. We didn't get the Badger M5 bottom metal until years after the switch from Unertl to S&B. If you're building an A3 with a Badger...

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    Definitely a really cool and rare original piece, but I'm not certain that it's a prototype. We see this type of CMP/IBA EFR with the extended rear on IBA's law enforcement and commercial XM3's. The USMC never used this type of EFR, for whatever reason. The USMC XM3's and the prototypes were the...

    Well, finally did it- AWSM 338 LM

    An AI rifle in .338/20mm Vulcan sounds pretty epic, lol

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    As everyone else has said, go with the DD Ross bottom metal. I have a handful of you need one, just shoot me a message. I also have a few takeoff scope bases available.

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    https://cmpauction.thecmp.org/detail.asp?id=9142 Sold last night for $10k. Probably a few reasons people stayed away from it. The first reason is confusion about what this rifle is. I had a lot of people contacting me about this auction listing and they were asking what this rifle actually was...

    LaRue Stomp mount, always cool to see in use

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    That's spectacular! For those that might not know, everything about the M40 is an original US military sniper rifle. Those are some of the rarest vintage sniper rifles in the world, it an outrageously impressive collection! If you and @Topgun117 combine your rifles, you'd have the ultimate USMC...

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    Please don't sell yourself short, with a collection like this, you're far from being the low man on the totem pole. Now that I've sold most of my M40xx stuff, I get to claim the low position, lol. You've put a ton of time/money/effort and, most importantly, dedication into this outstanding...

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    100% agree, @Topgun117's M40xx collection is amazing!

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    Yes, there are a few examples of the early large butthook McMillan A4 stocks in private collections that were sold to civilians in the very beginning of the production run. However, even those early civilian A4 stocks are very rare. One of the members of this forum has one on one of his M40A3...

    2025 Scout Sniper Association M40A5 rifle raffle!

    I discussed this with JT yesterday, and unfortunately we don't have a silencer or silencer certificate for this M40A5 package. We decided not to include a silencer because of the issues with legality if the prize winner is in a ban state. And after looking at the current production SureFire...
