    M-40 Barrel stampings and bedding

    Thanks Random Guy. I am looking at a early barrel with a udn 41 and no 7.62 that belongs to a friend. I had a recollection that this was not inappropriate for and early run 65-66 barrel and was too lazy to rip out all the research to find it, so I thought i would rely on a younger mind. Thanks...

    M-40 Barrel stampings and bedding

    When Remington made their first run (1965-66") of the M-40's, the rifles were not bedded. Consensus is that the USMC began to bed them at some point after that. When did they start to do that.? When the original barrels came off the assembly line were the stamped 7.62 or was that a process for...

    m40 CLIP SLOT

    Yes , a shame. When the clone componets were all acquired and ready (stocks, barrels, bottom metal, receivers etc) I was prepared to let him build seven M40/m40a1's for me if there was a realistic turn around time. All the similarily qualified smiths I know, Mike Lau, Bill Corley, Hofmeiser, Les...

    m40 CLIP SLOT

    Good sugestion: He has done five for me over the last year. Then boom, closed. I hope he is ok. I am sure he reads these threads and will respond if that is the case.

    m40 CLIP SLOT

    Love Corley's work. I doubt he can get to it in the next six months. He is in great demand these days given his skill sets. A nice man to boot. I have called LRI. He is away for a week or so . We will touch base when he returns and I will ask him the spec question.

    m40 CLIP SLOT

    AKMike47: Need the clip slotting for a few six digit receivers that are on their way to m40 and m40a1 clones.

    m40 CLIP SLOT

    Who would be the best source to have a Remington700 trued and clip slotted to USMC spec. Seems like the reliable people I have used for years are all retiring together.

    Winchester M70

    What is the measurment on the bull gun barrel at the nose of the stock? I think I have an original stock for one. I assume the number two van orden was restocked? Or was it delivered in that config ? Beautiful collection. Number three is gold standard.

    Type of finish on this m-70 receiver

    There are two of them , both 338xxx's and both x military. The good advice offered here will be heeded and they will be left unmolested although one of the barrels is badly pitted on the outside.

    Type of finish on this m-70 receiver

    Thanks to Skunk, Criver600, Pre64, Dan, Lange Carabine, Sirhrmechanic, and rth1800 for the informed responses. The only other rifles I own are pre war so I was comparing the finish on those to this early 50's rifle. An erroneous assumption on my part and somewhat embarrassing for someone who...

    Type of finish on this m-70 receiver

    This rifle was once in the U.S. Army inventory and ,as you can see, the finish on the receiver and barrel do not match. I also assume it had a micrometer sight on it before the scope was mounted due to the wear on the finish around the tap holes. The rings on the scope are early Redfield I...

    thanks so much for taking the time to look, although it does not help with the six digits receiver research. the roll mark on a seven is a bit different. i will keep this in the file and compare it to other legit seven digit receivers when I go back to that topic. I would love to get photos...
