    U.S. marked clip slotted 40x action?

    Has Kiff or Tiny responded yet? I'm really curious to know what these guys are going to say. The evidence against PTG is pretty damning.

    U.S. marked clip slotted 40x action?

    I've been trying to find information on the "Solicitations on Rebarreling" contract that Dave Kiff said was awarded to Remington. For some odd reason, I just can't find ANY information about this amazing contract in any published public records. Maybe I'm doing something wrong with my search? Lol

    U.S. marked clip slotted 40x action?

    I've been thinking about it, but I would hate to drag him into any of this. He doesn't have much to do with IBA anymore, his grandson Sabien has been running IBA's day-to-day operations for the past few years.

    U.S. marked clip slotted 40x action?

    It will be interesting to hear what Tiny says, hopefully he has some actual information about all of this. I don't personally know him, but I have friends who do know Tiny, and he has a great reputation. If I'm somehow wrong about anything, I'll eat major crow and make a public apology. However...

    U.S. marked clip slotted 40x action?

    Actually, Remington did make long action 40X receivers. I've heard that the Remington Custom Shop had some steel long action 40X receivers built into rifles for customers over the years. But, I can't prove that the steel receivers exist. However, it's well documented that Remington did in fact...

    U.S. marked clip slotted 40x action?

    That's an interesting text from him, so IBA did the work on these receivers. I'm friends with Col. Norm Chandler, and I have purchased tons of original US military items over the years. Besides a few XM3's and an XM1 (that was war used), IBA NEVER had original rifles that are on the list in your...

    Finishing up my M40 replica

    Very nice build, congrats on getting it completed! Looking closely at your photos, there's some really nice details that are part of your M40 clone build! Looks great, please let us know how it shoots when you take her out to the range!

    Excellent that you sent him the screenshot, but if you have time, please send him a direct link to this thread and these other PTG threads: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/legit-40x-base.7223440/ https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/heads-up-on-fake-m24-receivers.7239988/...

    U.S. marked clip slotted 40x action?

    That's the most horrible clip slot I've ever seen, there's no way that could have left the Remington Custom Shop like that. Also, notice how the left rail of your receiver has not been cut back to match the right side of the receiver. Looks at the other posts in this thread with original...

    U.S. marked clip slotted 40x action?

    Cool build, but just please call it a custom rifle. It's not going to be anything like an M40A5, and won't be a near clone of one (not even remotely close, after reading your parts list). I get that's where you're taking your build inspiration from, but there's no reason to say that it's a near...

    U.S. marked clip slotted 40x action?

    Unfortunately, as everyone else has said, you got swindled by PTG. They modified that receiver, it wasn't done that way by Remington. A 40X with a Model 700 serial number? That's a new one. The US marking is blatantly fake, PTG is throwing that marking on all their receivers and claiming that...

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    Dang, that's amazing information, thank you! Not the first time I've gotten information wrong or mixed up, and it definitely won't be the last time, lol. I thought it was an A3 test barrel, but apparently I got my info wrong. Great to know about the receiver too! It's still a very unique and...

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    To be fair, I don't know if Dan Ross has ever experimented with rifling his own barrels and making barrels from scratch. I'm just providing the information that I know is 100% correct, such as him using Hart barrel blanks. It possible that he could have made a few barrels from scratch, but I...

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    There's no question about it, the Marines tested numerous different barrels on the A3 prototypes. Here's my Douglas barrel that was tested in 1999. It was used on rifle 221732, and was tested pretty much side-by-side with a Schneider barrel on this same rifle (seriously, the barrels were...

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    He doesn't make the blanks, I've never heard of him ever using any type of rifling equipment. I know for a fact that he really like using Hart barrels back in the 1990's, and he even used a Hart barrel on the rifle he sent to the Marines to test his prototype A3 parts. I purchased that USMC A3...

    2024 Christmas gift thread (#2)! Please read instructions to participate!

    I also added a 2nd special gift to each package! I still had some of the original USMC PWS made M40A3 receiver filler pieces from when they plugged up the side bolt release holes in the early 2000's. It's a very small piece of metal, so look for it in your package! It's not much of a gift on...

    2024 Christmas gift thread (#2)! Please read instructions to participate!

    I just mailed off a ton of boxes today, I'll try to give everyone tracking info. The only boxes I haven't mailed are the ones I don't have shipping information for, the guys who won the ammo (I need to figure out how to ship those boxes, USPS turned me away), and the 2 guys who don't want the...
