    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    Yep, it just goes to show how little the people at the CMP actually know. Remember, they aren't collectors and historians like we are, they're just regular people working a regular job. It's understandable that they wouldn't know the specifics about certain rifles (even M83 sniper rifles are...

    CMP to offer a MK13 mod 3 on auction

    The entire MIRS rail is painted and there's no unpainted spots where the rings should have been attached? And the paint is in a completely ridiculous color and camo pattern? Hmm, almost as if the paint on this rifle is completely fake......

    Mk 13 Mod 0 stock

    Certificates that are being mailed out to people, and I've verified the authenticity of each stock. I still have 8 more stocks to look at and issue certificates for. Pretty crazy that another 18+ original Mk13 McMillan stocks have surfaced! I'll post a photo of the next 8 certificates when I'm...

    M40A3 badger bm and MST-100

    No, don't use a Unertl MST-100 with a Badger Ordnance M5 bottom metal. We switched to the S&B M8541 SSDS in 2006, and that's what was used on the A3's from then on. We didn't get the Badger M5 bottom metal until years after the switch from Unertl to S&B. If you're building an A3 with a Badger...

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    Definitely a really cool and rare original piece, but I'm not certain that it's a prototype. We see this type of CMP/IBA EFR with the extended rear on IBA's law enforcement and commercial XM3's. The USMC never used this type of EFR, for whatever reason. The USMC XM3's and the prototypes were the...

    Well, finally did it- AWSM 338 LM

    An AI rifle in .338/20mm Vulcan sounds pretty epic, lol

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    As everyone else has said, go with the DD Ross bottom metal. I have a handful of you need one, just shoot me a message. I also have a few takeoff scope bases available.

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    https://cmpauction.thecmp.org/detail.asp?id=9142 Sold last night for $10k. Probably a few reasons people stayed away from it. The first reason is confusion about what this rifle is. I had a lot of people contacting me about this auction listing and they were asking what this rifle actually was...

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    That's spectacular! For those that might not know, everything about the M40 is an original US military sniper rifle. Those are some of the rarest vintage sniper rifles in the world, it an outrageously impressive collection! If you and @Topgun117 combine your rifles, you'd have the ultimate USMC...

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    Please don't sell yourself short, with a collection like this, you're far from being the low man on the totem pole. Now that I've sold most of my M40xx stuff, I get to claim the low position, lol. You've put a ton of time/money/effort and, most importantly, dedication into this outstanding...

    100% agree, @Topgun117's M40xx collection is amazing!

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    Yes, there are a few examples of the early large butthook McMillan A4 stocks in private collections that were sold to civilians in the very beginning of the production run. However, even those early civilian A4 stocks are very rare. One of the members of this forum has one on one of his M40A3...

    2025 Scout Sniper Association M40A5 rifle raffle!

    I discussed this with JT yesterday, and unfortunately we don't have a silencer or silencer certificate for this M40A5 package. We decided not to include a silencer because of the issues with legality if the prize winner is in a ban state. And after looking at the current production SureFire...

    Thank you everyone who has purchased tickets! JT, the president of the SSA, should be taking this rifle out to be photographed sometime soon. I should have some new photos of this M40A5 raffle rifle and kit soon, and I'll post them in this this thread when I receive them. Thanks again, everyone...

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    Beautiful rifle and it's an amazing piece of USMC GWOT history! I'd recommend posting a few photos of the rifle and maybe even a range report (with photos of targets too) in one of the XM3 threads that we have open on this forum. Some people specifically subscribe to threads they enjoy, and...

    2025 Scout Sniper Association M40A5 rifle raffle

    This years SSA M40A5 is easily one of the best rifles that we've raffled off over rhe years. Whoever wins this one is going to have an amazing piece for their collection! There's a few weeks left to grab tickets, and right now the odds of winning this rifle are pretty damn good (we haven't sold...

    U.S. Army/Navy/USMC M14-based sniper and DMR/SDM rifles circa late-1960s to late 201Xs

    No idea on the scope, but that's definitely a LaRue Stomp mount that doesn't have the top portion attached to it. I actually have one of these mounts available, if anyone needs it. It's pretty difficult to find the old Stomp mounts.

    2025 Scout Sniper Association M40A5 rifle raffle!

    That's awesome! Please tell me that you took some photos of the rifle and that you also got to shoot it! What do you think of the clone build aspect? Did we hit all of the large and small details on this build (100% USMC specs)? Did you shoot the rifle, or see it being shot? If so, what were the...
