    M40 Stock

    I have a DepTaylor, first run M40 stock, with beautiful figuring, that I will never use. Was gonna replace my stock on my M40 clone, but really no reason to. Anyone remember what we paid in that 1st group buy he did years ago?

    M40 clone build

    That scope is the real deal. Not only the UV bleached and age oxidized original green ano, but the surface prep scratches (You see them on the eyepiece).

    Toki Greenie Redfield M40 scope, finally got one !

    I spent a sh*t ton of time and energy to find a way to duplicate the tombstone. I got 75% of the way there. I got the sizing correct, the medium to dupe it on. What remained was having another run done where I printed the mirror image of the tombstone, for clarity, as everything is...

    GA Precision M40a5

    No they don't. Dave Clarke left. Ask C&H who is building their rifles now that Dave is gone. Hopefully not Buck. They have a habit of "stretching" the truth a bit. They downright lied to me on my last build. "We test fire 10 rounds" Really? Then how come the fact that my bolt didnt extract...

    Gunsmithing Bedding

    I find Marine Tex difficult to work with due to its viscosity and mixing ratio. I've been using JB Weld and add silica gel to thicken it up a tad. It's also easy to measure out, 50/50. Ive even used 2 part epoxy glues that I add metal powder and silica to. Worked out fine. Although don't use...

    gun stock painting with 2 parts epoxy?

    I've rattle canned THEN coated it with that pourable 2 part clear epoxy bar top stuff they sell at Home Depot. Brush it on using foam brushes.

    Don't let it sit too long. The carbon all collects on the bottom. Stir that shit up. I mixed mine with 1/2 and 1/2 with BLO to thin it out a bit. It's also a GREAT oil for case hardening/darkening steel parts. It's chock full o' carbon. Did I say that? RMP Dark Raw applied with 0000 steel...

    Converting a commercial crosshair Redfield to an M40 accurange Redfield

    Probably the same way I am making the tombstones. Using a microfilm process. I make a digital image of what needs to be transferred to film. It's a 24:1 reduction ratio, so It's easy to size it correctly. The pain in the ass is cutting it out. I guess if it's round, I could use a hole...

    There is no true black. The black dye is actually dark, dark purple.

    Converting a commercial crosshair Redfield to an M40 accurange Redfield

    Depends. If it's a 1st or 2nd generation 3x9 scope, probably a $170 - $250, depending on condition, it's its a wideview or "TV" variety, not so much...

    Correct. Different alloys end up different shades, hence why the originals have differentiation in parts oxidation. A degree in dye temp. Thickness of ano layer buildup. It all affects color.

    I'm using a Galaxy S5. Excellent camera. iPhone cameras are crap. I think this green is the color, although I will try a more dilute dye mixture. It's much better than the OD Green, which in my opinion, has too much blue undertones. I'm getting good results with my current electrolyte bath...

    Greenie out of the tank. Here is an M84 I just repaired and restored, if anyone is interested. It was a sea green painted disaster when I got it. Cloudy, water vapor and sealant filled, missing glass, etc.

    I use their dark variety. They add carbon to it.

    Did you get it? PM'ed you on m14forum.com. Let me know. For the record, they are "satin" finish. The AR TEL is more matte finish. Replaced your zoom ring, turret base, zoom thumb screw, turret caps with spares I had. Used the ocular assembly and glass from the other scope you sent.
