    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    I actually have one of the original USMC M40A3 test barrels from the late 1990's, I think it's a Douglas. It's an extremely unique barrel, and it's one of the only original USMC artifacts that still exists from the A3 testing in the late 90's. If you look in my A1 thread, you can see some photos...

    2024 Christmas gift thread (#2)! Please read instructions to participate!

    Wanted to give everyone a quick update, I've boxed up pretty much all of the gifts for people who have contacted me with their shipping information. I still need to reach out to other people to get their shipping info. Christmas, New Year's, spending time with family, family emergencies, working...

    Schmidt & Bender USMC M8541 scopes - Did S&B quit making these?

    Here's links to 2 listings for EuroOptic S&B USMC scopes that sold in 2024, all of these scopes are new in box condition. This should give you guys some information about the serial number ranges for these scopes and how to price them. The real contract overrun USMC scopes are in the 377xxx...

    Schmidt & Bender USMC M8541 scopes - Did S&B quit making these?

    Here's one for sale on GunBroker, but the price is just flat out crazy! Include the shipping/insurance cost with the possible 10% state tax (if the buyer is in a taxable state), and now the scope is around $6,700. This is what an actual USMC used/surplus S&B M8541 SSDS scope costs, these M8541...

    Extraordinarily rare GL/SSC clone build is finally complete!

    From what I can tell, its no different than any other Vortex Razor 1-6x24 scope with the VMR-2 MRAD reticle. However, this scope is special because it's military surplus and came from DRMO. This specific scope was used by a soldier in CAG and it has a "21" laser engraved on the left side of the...

    Extraordinarily rare GL/SSC clone build is finally complete!

    No need to weigh your mount, just flip it upside-down and check the markings on the underside. If you have one of these extremely rare Geissele aluminum/lithium alloy scope mounts, it will be marked with the 2099 part number on one of the picatinny lugs. If your mount has a different part number...

    Extraordinarily rare GL/SSC clone build is finally complete!

    I just acquired the final piece for my GL/SSC build, an actual Colt M203 40mm grenade launcher! This is a factory original Colt M203 40mm, not a converted 37mm. The Daniel Defense GL/SSC handguard is also original, it's not a cut down M4A1 rail. There's a ridiculous number of rare parts being...

    2024 Christmas gift thread (#2)! Please read instructions to participate!

    Working on getting stuff boxed up right now, it's a lot of packages so it will take me a week or so to get everything out. I'll send everyone tracking info as soon as I mail their package.

    That's very generous of you to pass this scope base along to another member, thank you! On other forums guys would probably get the base and flip it on ebay or something, so I really like to see guys like you helping out other forum members. Instead of drawing a new number, I'll ask the members...

    Nope, I don't belong to any groups like that, but I appreciate the sentiment!

    And this is the cuttoff point. Thank you for joining this gift thread and I'll be back with the winners asap (I'll update this thread later today). Edit: Just verified the entries, only a few didn't make the join date cuttoff. I need to run a random number generator for the winners.

    2024 Christmas gift discussion thread (#2)

    Dang, pretty low turnout this year, I'm not sure if we'll even hit 100 participants. That just means all of you guys have a higher chance of winning something!

    2024 Christmas gift discussion thread (#2)

    There's currently 74 people who are participating in the Christmas gift thread, so there's a roughly 45% chance of winning one of the 33 gifts! That's extremely impressive odds of winning a gift. As much as I'd like to see you guys have the best odds possible, I'd also like to see more people...

    2024 Christmas gift discussion thread (#2)

    I'll try to post a photo when I find one. This would be extremely easy for a gunsmith to do, then weld the rings to the base and make the channel cut in the front ring. No need to weld up and square off the corners of the mount, since the Corps did use 700SA scope bases on their transitional...

    2024 Christmas gift discussion thread (#2)

    It's pretty basic, if you look at any photos of my welded bases you can see the cut on each side. I don't have a photo handy to post.

    2024 Christmas gift discussion thread (#2)

    As you guys have seen, I posted a Christmas gift thread, but there is no discussion allowed in that thread (the entire point is to assign a post number with a member that participates, nothing more). So, this will be the discussion for anything related to that Christmas gift thread! Post all you...

    Gift #21: 1 of these 2 sets of rare ammo boxes (boxes have original ammo, I'll need to find a way to ship these to the winners), the .300 Norma Mag ammo is from the original Barrett Mk22 ASR sniper rifle contract testing and the .300 Win Mag ammo is original Mk248 Mod 1 ammo for sniper rifles...
