    Re: Authenticate M40A1 kft101 tells it like it is. Also, how long is the barrel? That looks too long for an M-40A1.

    Stock for FNH TSR?

    Re: Stock for FNH TSR? Anything inlet cut for the SPR or M-70 Short Action would work. Barrel channel may be too roomy for some tastes in SPR inlets as the TSR barrel is a bit thinner. The internal area around the trigger may need to be fit for the different trigger as well.

    FN PBR in .300 WSM

    Re: FN PBR in .300 WSM tdow, I don't think I can answer that question. I am a bit biased both ways. I have seen excellent rifles come out of both plants. I have also seen some not-so-great products get out of both plants as well. I think if anything has effected the FNH product quality...

    Just found out my new FN A3G is messed up

    Re: Just found out my new FN A3G is messed up Knobby, You really should send it back. Don't let finding a box to ship in hold you up from having the rifle you want. Give FNH Customer Service a chance to make it right. Sure, you may get a new rifle that shoots .400" in place of the rifle...

    What camo did McMillan put on those M40A1's?

    Re: What camo did McMillan put on those M40A1's? Dick, I actually prefered the smeared stocks to the later version. Not for any other reason than it was what my platoon had most of when I got there (2/7). Nostalgia, I guess. Usually they all got painted anyway. Thanks for the info...

    A Quick Question in re new Winchester short action
