    Accessories WTB: M40A1 Return Smear Stock

    I know it's a long shot but if you have an extra smear stock lying around please contact me. I sold my m40a1 about 10 years ago when I started a family and had a baby on the way. I don't regret it but I do miss having one in the collection so I've decided to build another. Please let me know...

    Gunsmithing Question for Pre-War Winchester Experts

    Do you happen to know the checkering lpi on a pre-war M70 Sporter stock? I finally found a stock for my barreled action but it looks like it's been refinished a few times and the checkering is in bad shape. I'm about to purchase some stuff from Brownells for refinishing and I wanted to buy...

    Gunsmithing Source for Pre64 butt plate screws

    Does anyone know where I can find butt plate screws for a Pre-war Model 70? I've tried the usual suspects but no go. Numrich, GunBroker, Ebay, MidwayUSA, Brownells, nothing! A point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

    M1903 gunsmith recommendations

    Are there any gunsmiths out there that "specialize" in M1903's? Please let me know who you go to. I'm thinking of having some work done and I may go local but if there's someone out there that's reputable i'll probably look into them. I'm looking for general restoration and accurizing. Thanks

    Pre-war M70 parts?

    I just got a hold of a Winchester M70 Pre-War barreled action in the correct serial number range for a build, but I can't find a stock. I'm hoping someone on here can lead me in the right direction. I've tried Numrich, GunBroker, and Ebay. Is there somewhere else I should be looking. Thanks

    Rifle Scopes Where to find Badger ring cap screws

    I pulled a real bonehead move this morning. In my excitement to finally mount the scope to my new GAP M40A5 I used a T10 driver to remove the Badger Ordnance ring cap screws. It obviously didn't work and now I have one stripped head screw on my rings. I'm sure I can get it out but I need to...

    Rifle Scopes ACOG reticle problems

    I've done some research and can't find the answer to the issue. I hope someone here can diagnose this problem for me. I have an ACOG TA31-RCO-M4 scope. There are two seperate issues. The first one is that the reticle seems canted counter-clockwise a tiny bit and the second one is that the...

    Question for GAP M40A3 or A5 owners

    Or anyone who might know the answer. I'm about to pull the trigger on an M40A5 build. Does anyone here know if the S&B scope that GAP offers as an option is an M8541? Or is it the civilian version that I can purchase from one of our Hide sponsors? Also, would there be any reason the rifle...

    MidwayUSA doesn't carry Sierra?

    I just went on the site buy a box of 175SMK but I can't seem to find any Sierra bullets on their site. What's going on? Or am I just retarded and not seeing it somehow.

    OK to fire 308Win in 7.62NATO barrel??

    If my barrel is marked 7.62 NATO, will there be any immediate or long term problems firing commercial 308Win ammo through it? I ask because i've heard that it's ok to fire 7.62 nato rounds through a barrel chambered in 308, but haven't confirmed the other way around. Thanks

    Rifle Scopes Precision Reflex scope bases

    Has anyone here had any experience with Precision Reflex inc. scope bases? What are your opinions on them? I'm thinking about getting a base from them for my M700 because they seem to be the only company that still sells one-piece bases with cut-out over the ejection port.
