M40 clone build
Duracoat has a series called “DuraDize” that looks pretty good. They do have an OD green. I’m thinking about trying in on my Accu-range. Kinda scary thinking about messing with that scope. Wish they also had a bronze color in that line...- gregv

M40 clone build
I’ve been away for a long time, but suddenly have a renewed interest. A friend found some very cool items at an estate sale. I can’t believe the pics he sent me. Looks like an original, green anodized, Vietnam era USMC M40 Redfield to me, but I’m no expert. Any thoughts out there. Do you...- gregv

The closest dated cotton sling that I have is 1964, but that should work just fine. I do have a 2-62 dated leather...- gregv

Re: M40 Build Guide Finally have all the parts! Now I just have to get to work! I was digging through my box of slings the other day and ran across the pictured, 12/69 packaged sling. I haven't opened it yet, but I'm assuming it's nylon. I haven't seen any pictures of an M40 wearing a nylon...- gregv

Re: M40 Build Guide I finally quit putting it off and got ahold of Stan at Douglas Barrels today. I'll be sending my barrel back next week for a re-contour. I told him about your barrel and he said that basically it's their 007 Remington Varmint Contour barrel. I hope it ends up the same as...- gregv
