    MK13 Mod 5 barrel specs

    Just curious why you don't want to ship it to RBA. You'll get EXACTLY what was done.

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    Going to be a time where I am suffering from which build do I devote resources to because I can't do them all!

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    It is so damn awesome that someone with such attention to detail and history is geeking out on details like me. Not many are as devoted.

    Argentine Nedinsco Scope?

    What type of reticle does it have? A lot of these were pulled from 1909 snipers and used in armored service. Finding originals that haven't had their reticles replaced is quite a rarity.

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    Don't know if it's the same guy, but perhaps. This is a heard from a friend who heard from a friend scenario. What could a dude do with 80+? My perspective is that I hope there are some out there for guys who build and use. I'd hate to see them bought and just sit on a shelf and not have...

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    There was some dude who got damn near 100 of them. He'd bid up others that he didn't get, just for the sake of doing so, to keep the market high.

    Likely one of the first Marine M1903 Sniper rifles, M1908 Warner Swasey

    That's awesome man. I always love the detailed posts Steve!

    My TKiv85 reproduction just got a huge boost.

    With the scope and mount so easily removed, they needed something that could protect them during these times of non-use. These cases were made of the commonly used green dyed, reindeer leather, that was used for many Finnish military leather goods. You can see that the scope and mount sit on...

    My TKiv85 reproduction just got a huge boost.

    Here we have the M85 scope mount. This mount is very similar to the same mounts used on the M27/66 and M28/76. There are subtle differences. One is the thickness and knurling of the tensioning knob. The scope mount utilizes a tapered dovetail system. The mount slides into the tapered dovetail...

    Yeah, that picture is from my buddy Antti over in Finland. He took that many years ago. He was the one who helped me start this endeavor. As for the base, I'll make a follow-up post about it and the mount. Waiting on the trigger right now.

    My TKiv85 reproduction just got a huge boost.

    The rifle utilizes a very unique bedding system that completely free floats the rifle’s action and barrel inside the stock. The system was designed by a gentleman named Erkki Toro. It tells the user the bullet the rifle was designed to shoot along with the name of the rifle engraved on the top...

    My TKiv85 reproduction just got a huge boost.

    The scope is a Schmidt & Bender 4X zoom by 36mm objective lens. It features a typical European reticle with a single post that extends halfway to the middle of the field of field and two horizontal stadia. The scope has a BDC elevation adjustment that was calibrated for the D-166 bullet that’s...

    My TKiv85 reproduction just got a huge boost.

    I’ve been sourcing info and original parts for a Finnish Tarkkuuskivääri 85, or Finnish Sniper rifle model 85, for over a decade. It’s been a casual passion of mine for even longer. But I recently was able to source the field stock, in addition to the competition stock I’ve had for quite some...

    XM-3 EFR Mounts.

    @LongRifles Inc. I just looked at my buddy's issued example and it has torx screws. Also a buddy says that his CMP mount came with torx too.

    XM-3 EFR Mounts.

    I say stick with originality. Use the socket head cap screws with Allen heads.

    M40A3 Scope and NV mount

    There were several versions of the M40A3. Which version are you looking to have made?

    I’d bet that he knows more than most and what you think.
