    What would you vintage folks do to this vintage caliber 1984 R700?

    Was done by a previous owner. Call Remington, they will tell you. I seriously doubt it was done at the factory. I have 6-digit, 7-digit, A, B, C and E receivers, never saw a EP'd bolt. I can take some pics. If it was a factory standard procedure, all bolts would be EP'd right? If 1/10 is EP'd...

    What would you vintage folks do to this vintage caliber 1984 R700?

    'DE' on the barrel. Sept 1984. Dan, Remington never ep'd the serial on the bolt on 700 rifle.

    Remington 700 Police in Walnut stocks

    Yes. That stock is a Remington product. Its not aftermarket. The fit is perfect. I bought 2 of them, and both were a direct drop in without any mods.

    An interesting M40 thought.....

    I hear you. And agree with above statements. But.. Dont forget that both weapons in combat environment, Winchester Model 70 and Remington M40, are battle sniper rifles, not benchrest shooters. Yes bedding improves accurary, but the requirement is to drop a human size target at 600y, which is...

    An interesting M40 thought.....

    The Winchester M70 was never officially adopted as a field weapon. It was not a custom shop weapon, but just over-the-counter arms. - With the introduction of the 7.62 NATO round, all current M70 would need replaced. - There was 3 'safety' types, pre-war, transition, and late, not...

    M40 Mount Questions

    Same here. Those who says it doesnt fit never actually tried it. Both bases (40X and 700SA) fits both pre-1974 receivers and the later. The M40 was zeroed to 500y, even if the base is not leveled, there is more than enough elevation adjustments. I have a 700SA base on my 6-digit. Will take some...

    M40a1 build guide

    Availability I guess. They used what was available in sufficient quantities.. I dont believe the usual countersink Rem 700 screws would fit the Winchester BM.

    Genuine Remington M40 stock found?

    I hear you Marty. My comment about handling all M40 wasnt aimed at you. What I meant to say was; we dont know every individual M40 rifles. I hope my comment was not interpreted as sarcasm or anything. I am french, my english is just average. Thing is, I dont know what to believe anymore when it...

    M40a1 build guide

    The McMillans started building rifles and stock in 73. Mostly army contracts and for benchrest shooters. I dont know when the M40A1 HTG stock became available to the general public. Out of curiosity, what do you want to know exactly? ;) http://www.mcmfamily.com/mcmillan-faq-story.php
