    I did not do this purposely. I made a mistake and tried to correct it, nothing more. I realized I posted in the wrong forum after the fact and also didn't realize I was not yet a full member.

    Replica USMC M14 DMR project completed

    I had planned on going to one of vintage matches this month but life happens and my M40 clone will have to wait another year. That's some good shooting you did. Your report may inspire me to build one or have it built for me. I'm just afraid I'll end up liking it better than my M40. :oops::oops:

    M40 Remington 700 5R .308 Police bolt knob change

    The info in post #5 WAS of use in my thread, you just overlooked it. Read a bit about the repro clones of these rifles many people build if it interests you. I did almost two years ago and got hooked, bought books, asked alot of questions, made a few friends and now have yet another addiction...

    M40 Remington 700 5R .308 Police bolt knob change

    Come on, talk about getting pissy. I just disagree with you, thats all. Trigger Monkey had it right, read post #5. It's pretty clear and "expressed " correctly and your suggestion to me is rediculous at best. However, if you insist, I don't think you know your ass from a hole in the ground...

    M40 Remington 700 5R .308 Police bolt knob change

    Reread my post, I did say it was for a CLONE build. I'm not trying rebuild an original, too much money and what's the pointr anyway ? It would just be a CLONE of an original, untouched,never rebuilt original. The whole thing is correct for a "clone". Stock,trigger, buttplate, sling swivels...

    M40 Remington 700 5R .308 Police bolt knob change

    Nothing wrong with the knob, it actually works easier than the issued small one on my other M40 clone, like this one. HOWEVER, this is a mid 1960s clone build of a USMC M700/M40 sniper rifle. The bigger ones were not used on those weapons during that time period and probably were not even...

    M40 Remington 700 5R .308 Police bolt knob change

    M40 Remington 700 5R .308 Police bolt knob change Everything is fine on the rifle, my only issue is the bolt knob that came on it from Remington has an oversized knob. Is my only option finding a correct bolt and having a smith re-headspace it or is there an easier way aside from buying a box...

    Range time with the M40 clone and an old friend.........................

    I went to the club range yesterday to get the Redfield 3x9 Accu Trac scope dialed in that I had a problem with (my error) and check out load component variation. I was using my Remington 700 M40 clone with a 5R .308 1:11.25 twist barrel I had just put back together. It was about 85 with a...

    M40 Stock

    Me either. The only one I saw even close was by the maker if I recall that pmclain got one from recently. He got a nice stock but like this one it doesn't have the Monte Carlo cheek rise, the buttstock is flat and this ones channel is for a thin barrel. It does have nice figure in the wood. Not...

    M40 Stock

    I don't know what you used but it came out beautiful. Thats like a fine piece of colonial furniture. Bolt told me the details on that rifle, man you have a real top dog shooter and looker. Almost too pretty to take out of the house. He also said it was a tack driver. My last last Andrew Verner...

    M40 finally up and running!

    Nice rifle. What was the deciding factor on going with the Lija barrel ? I'm going to start my 2nd .308 build shortly with a Douglas and after reading your post I went on their website and took a looksee. I'm considering it but not quite there yet, I've had rifles with Shilens and Douglas...
