    Genuine Remington M40 stock found?

    Mesca, Sorry if I was curt, But I do have a great deal of first hand knowledge and a great source of second hand knowledge about the M40. Mark Limpic, Chuck Mawhinney and Randy Jose are 1968-1970 Marine snipers from 1st Marine division 5th Battalion and are friends of mine so I have access to...

    Genuine Remington M40 stock found?

    I didn't say it was a fake, I said, "Varnish may have been applied later in their service lives but not in Nam, don't forget the M14's were oiled and each Marine was issued a bottle of linseed oil until the M16's were issued." I did not suggest I handled all of them or even most, I bet I have...

    T or F ? Its only an M40A1 if it has all the right parts

    Brian, Are you sure the S/A 4 slot rails made weren't by Leupold? Do you have a pic? Crane built a lot of rifles that just got used by different agencies and units that weren't really designated as an "M"whatever or a Mk XX mod yy.

    T or F ? Its only an M40A1 if it has all the right parts

    latinaincovina, We have guys call all the time "I want an M40A3" then they go on to say stuff like "I want it in 7mm, I want an A5 stock, I want a Bushnell HDMR on Larue throw lever unimount" Then you ask "What's M40A3 about this?" and you get "Well, I want it to be like an M40A3" and it just...

    T or F ? Its only an M40A1 if it has all the right parts

    I have to go with false! There are NO receivers that were originally built into M40A1's that have been legally disposed of. This would be ALL receivers with a "C" letter prefix or later. There is some pretty good evidence that their may be a couple M40 receivers that WERE Legally transferred...

    New wallpaper

    The PSR, M110 and the Galatz are new unfired, I have other 338 AI's and have shot them, the Galatz is just another 308 Galil and no big deal, kicks like a mule. I have shot plenty of Army 110's, I like my LMT 308 better. I have a soft spot for the M1/M14 pattern rifles as I shot them for years...

    Picked up an M1903A3 Today *Stiff bolt when chambering rounds*

    Try this, pull the bolt out of the rifle, remove the firing pin assy. Slip a round under the extractor and slip it back in the rifle and see if it closes easily. If it does, that shows that it has no chamber issue. Controlled feed rifles don't like having one slipped in the chamber, they can be...

    Picked up an M1903A3 Today *Stiff bolt when chambering rounds*

    Check the extractor, are you feeding out of the mag or tossing one the chamber then closing? Mauser typs extractors can bind if not fit correctly. Normally 03's don't need fitting unlike Mauser's sometimes do.

    Brno ?

    I was the General manager at CZ-USA for a number of years and have been to the factory and have a pretty good working knowledge of CZ's from post war to now. A few pics would go a long way to getting to the bottom of your rifle.

    M40 Build Thoughts / Questions

    The 6257259 that the CMP sold was from the US Air force ABGD (Air base ground defense) school at Lackland AFB Tx it was new, unfired and matched/numbered black Gen 2 scope. The US Navy also procured quite a number of these rifles.
