    M40a1 build guide

    Oustanding work indeed TMA! Same thing here... I decided to go the Redfield way. Of course, its not a green Redfield, nor a 'smear' stock. But its a great shooter ;)

    I guess what he meant by 'stock pattern not spec' is that his stock is the newer 'forest camo', and issued stocks were 'woodland camo'? Slightly different.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Thats good info as usual ;). I hope you dont mind me using your pictures... I pick them up somewhere in the thread. About the finish: I have 2 sets of Ultra rings. One of the set has a weird purple-ish hue... Might be hard to see on the pictures but its there and quite apparent... Anybody can...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Thats interesting. I just looked at all the pictures I have of the rear sight base and notice a small difference between some bases... I've seen some reproduction base sell for big bucks on eBay.... They were advertised as 'original'... - This is an original WB490 base, out of the original...

    Are you looking for the older plastic model or the aluminum unit? Might have what you're looking for.

    M40 Build Guide

    Very nice indeed! Is this an original 1st gen Accurange? Color looks good. I couldnt help but notice the non matching black turret caps ;). Thats why I'm asking.

    M40 Build Guide

    Guys, Even if a good gunsmith find the right coloration mix for a parkerizing job, dont forget that no one will be able to match a 40 years old patina. Overtime (storage, grease) can turn parkerizing to a greenish hue. Its a long time chemical process. Some Garand experts have been able to add...

    The best example of the 'green' parkerized tint is rifle #6257259. Against the black hardware, we can see that the tint is quite strong. And it is a close match to the swatch 'culpeper' posted and the M1D finish posted by 'bolt_trash'.

    Converting a commercial crosshair Redfield to an M40 accurange Redfield

    Too gold maybe, but you're getting there. I like it better than the OD green, which I think, is too green. I'm thinking about sending one of my Redfields to you. But only after you get the right color ;)

    Muzzle diameter is not really an issue with the flash hider. It is slip-fit and should accomodate any barrels thickness from 0.900 and up. It is tapered I guess, and the lock ring keeps it in place. The measurements were posted earlier in the thread, but the pics are down... I hope the original...

    M24-Rebuild anyone recieve one ?

    Depends if you have the Redfield or the OK Weber front sight. Potential buyer will need to specify that when ordering.

    Count me in. Been looking for a flash hider for a while, no luck...

    Winchester M70 sniper

    Depends on the year of manufacture of your rifle. Post-64 in .308, and all calibers, up to 1985 are long action. They do have a shorter bolt, but built around a long action receiver. Take some measurements; receiver, distance between trigger guard holes and let us know.

    Another USMC Unertl Sniper Scope

    I'm surprised its still @ 3.5K$ with just 16 hours left... Late bidders or less desirable in 50 cal?

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Following my post on fitting the bottom metal to either a PST-024 or PST-011, here is a few pics of a contract Dakota and Remington bottom metal from a 700P. There is already a lot of pictures of the correct Dakota BM in this thread. But I thought comparing both side by side might answer some...

    Converting a commercial crosshair Redfield to an M40 accurange Redfield

    Very nice work. I'm impressed. There's not a lot of people who have the guts to mess with those old scopes! Maybe its the lighting, but the finish looks more green than yellowish?

    Looks flat to me... On that picture as well.
