    Gunsmithing M40 Swivels

    Gunsmithing M40 Stock

    Any new or recent source for a M40 stock? I've tried the ADL with pressed checkering route, but even after steaming the checkering out the best I can it takes to much sanding for the proper shape. Suggestions? Anyone know of one for sale? Thanks, Dave.
