M40a1 build guide
Re: M40a1 build guide Back in March or April, I heard that they were making a run of 100 units. I gave them a call, and sure enough, they were. I ordered one at $2850. It should be done in a couple of months. I don't know if they are still taking ordrs, but you might give them a call. Still...- gregv

M40a1 build guide
Re: M40a1 build guide DT, No problem at all. I don't feel that you claim jumped me. It's all the same topic anyway. I guess USO made some calls today! I like the idea of using the middle 4 numbers. Maybe those are available, although mine's pretty low at 2156. I don't know what the deal...- gregv

M40a1 build guide
Re: M40a1 build guide Same thing happened with my serial number. I just found out today that they U.S. Optics can't match my rifle's last 4 digits. I think I'm just going to come up with and 4 digit number that U.S.O. will use, and call it good. I think it's better to have a 4 digit # on...- gregv

M40a1 build guide
Re: M40a1 build guide Need some opinions here. U.S. Optics is about to put the serial # my MST-100, but they can't use the last four digits of my rifles serial #. Would you guys have them just use a random 4 digit #, no serial #, or the full 6 digit serial numbet to match the rifle's #...- gregv

Re: M40 Build Guide I always click on the "enter an image" icon, 4th from the left. Then I copy the direct link from photobucket and paste it in the bar on the window that pops up. The window seems to have http in it when it pops up, so I clear it out and paste the whole link from...- gregv

M40 Build Guide
Re: M40 Build Guide I ended yp just buying a couple of 513t/40x rear swivels with the wood screw. I'm just going to thread it in the wood on the front. Once it's in the wood it should be very hard to tell that it's not the correct swivel and I like that it looks more like the original in...- gregv

Re: M40 Build Guide Pvt.Joker, Thanks for the pictures. Looks great and like you are almost there! BTW, what did you come up with on barrel length? Is it 24" overall ( 23" from the front of the recoil lug to muzzle )? Thanks, Greg- gregv

Re: M40 Build Guide Thanks Pvt.Joker, I'm going to give Stan a call tomorrow and find out what we can do with my barrel. If you get your camera working, I'd love to see some pics of the taper and the crown. I need to start working on my stock too, I guess I have been too busy the last few...- gregv

Re: M40 Build Guide By the way, if you do buy one of these, ask the seller if he has another one to match. He seems to have quite a few of these and did sell me two off of one auction.- gregv

M40 Build Guide
Re: M40 Build Guide Here is a rear sling swivel that should work pretty good for an M40 build. It's not my auction, but I have purchased two of these from this guy for my project. I know they are not really correct for the front, but once it's screwed into the stock, you really can't tell the...- gregv

Re: M40 Build Guide Not sure what the U F are, maybe inspector markings. There are no month codes that I am aware of that are U or F. The N should be 1966. link for date codes: http://www.remingtonsociety.com/questions/BLACKPOWDERX.htm- gregv

Re: M40 Build Guide I don't know if this will help with your date code, but my rifles were complete, I believe with original barrels. My 266,xxx was date coded LP, Feb. 1967. My 321,xxx was date coded XP, Dec. 1967.- gregv

Re: M40 Build Guide Forgot to ask. Are you going to date code yours or stamp it 7.62? I still can't decide which I want. Are you doing the U.S. stamps yourself or just engraving the serial numbers?- gregv

Re: M40 Build Guide Thanks for the offer. I do want to see how yours comes out. Can't wait until we get them done! You will probably be done way before me. I don't have the means or the knowledge to clip slot, install a barrel, or park mine, so I was planning on sending my barrel, action, and...- gregv
