    Help- need A5 clip slot dimensions

    I'd really like to do the thumb relief cut for a M40. Does anyone have the specifics on size of the mill used/ and an exact reference measurement for the center of the bit? Thanks.

    Toki here… starting anodizing line up again mid March. Msg me for details.

    Is this a "Toki" Scope? If so How did you get this look? Thanks.

    Toki here… starting anodizing line up again mid March. Msg me for details.

    Is this how you received the scope from Toki or did you treat it somehow? Sunlight? Heat? I love this look and would like to tone down my green and match your color. Thanks.

    USMC M40 3-9X40 Redfield Cerakote

    Not sure if anyone noticed but if you zoom in on the photo above you can see the tombstone reticle. It attaches to the erector tube on the objective/ first focal plane side of the scope...I thought it was pretty cool

    M40 Stock

    So I was able to take some measurements on the TP Stock. Measurement "A" was 10 3/4", as previously stated. "OAL" was 31". It would appear that those 2 dimensions alone account for most of the difference in the 2 stocks. (There's another inch in there somewhere) I'm not really concerned, as...

    USMC M40 3-9X40 Redfield Cerakote

    Yep, You're talking about Toki. I love the way his scopes turn out. With paint, you can almost always tell that they have been painted. Anodizing doesn't build like the paint always seems to...But with paint you wouldn't have to disassemble the scope and you could better color match. I sold...

    USMC M40 3-9X40 Redfield Cerakote

    First post here so please be kind... I'm interested to see if anyone has tried a custom mix of cerkote to match the original Redfield Greenie scopes that were found on the USMC M40 rifles. I have been a long follower of Toki and his anodizing, have owned one, about to own another, but am...

    M40 Stock

    Thanks USMCSGT0331, Awesome info as always. I'm really interested in what your measurement "A" was, on average, for the real M40 stocks. Just based on your picture it appears that the SSA stocks are closer to your original than the TP stock. In all other ways the TP stock is fairly close to...

    M40 Stock

    Yikes, that's bad ass. Most artists aren't good at the business side... My wood working skills suck, so my gunville will probably be up for sale shortly...

    M40 Stock

    Thanks Pmclaine, That would make sense. I have a gunville coming in this week. Will take pictures of the 3 together once received. I will say this Taylor Precision stock is absolutely beautiful...Pics don't do it justice...

    M40 Stock

    I have a comparison of the Taylor Precision Stock versus a SSA M40 stock. Pretty close in most aspects but the TP stock is about 2 inches longer in the fore end. The total length from the front of the recoil lug is 10 3/4". Any thoughts as to why that might be? I'm pretty sure that both are...
