    30mm, M40A1 Unertl style base/rings?

    Thank you. That was the input I was looking for. I am just a sucker for classics but don't want to degrade the durability. I think the only thing I could upgrade at this point is the #6 screws to the #8, but my smith says it isn't really worth it, he has been doing this a very long time and...

    30mm, M40A1 Unertl style base/rings?

    Are there any places that can custom build a high quality M40A1 Unertl style welded one piece base/rings in 30mm? I am budget building an A1 clone using an SWFA 10x MIL/MOA which uses a 30mm tube. I am currently using a Badger steel 20moa base and steel Max-50 rings because I like durability...

    1980's USMC Scout Sniper gear list?

    @lowlight Thank you! I will just have to sneak over to his house and go through his field box for more photos of his gear. Do you remember LCPL Vandoloski from these photos?

    Rifle Scopes 30mm, M40A1 Unertl style base/rings?

    I just prefer the 4 screw setup, the screws themselves don't worry me, just prefer to utilize all the holes. And i like the seamless welded setup. I contemplated tigging the Leupy rings to the base and milling off a step for the ocular, but would still only be a 3 screw setup.

    1980's USMC Scout Sniper gear list?

    Thank you @sirhrmechanic . I got permission from my father to share photos of him back in the glory days. He doesn't know about this kit I am putting together for him. He makes fun of all my modern gadgets lol. I get the "back in my day" speech all the time lol. Would be cool if @lowlight...

    1980's USMC Scout Sniper gear list?

    What is the name of his book? I was originally directed to this site to sell some stocks I had laying around, and since have gotten more involved, but do not know the whole backstory on who certain people are, etc.

    1980's USMC Scout Sniper gear list?

    I am trying to put together a load out kit of everything my father would have taken into the bush when he was a USMC scout sniper in the mid 80's. Looking for list of gear such as types of packs, what goes into them, brand names, models of gear, sidearm, how did they transport their spare 7.62...

    M40A1, did they tack weld the BDL box?

    I understand how the regular BDL works, but the box still has a slight bit of slop up and down between the action and floor plate.

    M40A1, did they tack weld the BDL box?

    Was that done in quantico? Or is that the civilian outlook on it?

    M40A1, did they tack weld the BDL box?

    Working on a M40A1 clone. Somebody mentioned that the armorers in Quantico would tack weld the BDL magazine box directly to the action. Is this true? If so, what locations around the box did they weld them? My action has the screw hole for the ADL retention screw, but I cannot find a BDL box...

    Rifle Scopes Badger Max-50 issues

    I just put a Badger Ordnance 20moa base on my Rem700. Went to install a pair of the Badger MAX-50 rings, and granted they are a serialized pair, one seems to NOT apply full clamping force onto the picatinny rail. The clamping (moving) part of the ring seems to not seat into the groove on the...

    Rifle Scopes Most durable base and rings for Remington 700?

    I have been hooked on John's videos for a while. I am going to find a happy medium once the glass comes in. I will mock it up and figure out a good height for my head position and cheek weld on the comb for long periods of observation.
