Re: M40 Build Guide Matter of fact I do. Total length is 4.890, Cut-out length is 2.150. Rear section is 1.20

Re: M40 Build Guide Just so you guys that are building clones know, you can take a Redfield 700sa base (early version) and have a welder build up the rounded corners to be square. I have had this done to 2 bases. Makes for a very close copy. Though, the 40x base has a bit different length.

Re: M40 Build Guide You lucky dog!

Re: M40 Build Guide - Not M40A1 Anyone else think this topic deserves a sticky?

Re: M40 Build Guide - Not M40A1 For the sling, any green MRT sling will do. Search M1 sling on gunbroker and you'll find several.

Re: M40 Build Guide - Not M40A1 Thanks Joker! Great pics.

Re: M40 Build Guide - Not M40A1 No doubts here. Just like to see the Badger base on an old 6 digit.

Re: M40 Build Guide - Not M40A1 RTH, can you post a picture? Id just like to see it.

Re: M40 Build Guide Good point. Like I said, speculation Whatever their reason for adding a clip slot, it wasn't used.

Re: M40 Build Guide More about the clip slot. The curve you see, is often referred to as a "thumb scallop". When the scope and base are not in place, that curve is where your thumb lands after charging the rounds into the magazine. It is how you can quickly identify a clip-slotted...

Re: M40 Build Guide Wow, a very fine example indeed. What a beauty! I notice its not clip slotted though. Interesting.

Re: M40 Build Guide Man this is a great thread. XARMOR, thanks for providing such great pictures for us.

Re: M40 Build Guide Thanks Marty, I'm real happy with the way it came out. The action is at the shop right now being rebarreled. Should get it back in a couple weeks. As far as part collection, I have everything I need. Well, minus the correct base. RTH, If you are putting one of those...

Re: M40 Build Guide Good catch. How about that serial number on the bolt handle? The original M40s had the full serial electro-penciled on the underside of the bolt. Could this have been a M40A1 converted back to an M40?

Re: M40 Build Guide - Not M40A1 Thanks RTH, Let me know how it fits and post a picture if you can. Id love to see the base on a 6 digit action.

Re: M40 Build Guide - Not M40A1 How can that be? Unless they recently released a new version for early 700 receivers I think you are receiving a couple for newer receivers. I contacted Badger as well about 2 months ago and asked if their M40 Repro mount would fit early 700 actions. They...

Re: M40 Build Guide - Not M40A1 Here is my ADL conversion...

Re: M40 Build Guide - Not M40A1 The 66 ADL should work perfect. I used the same thing on my project. I started with a factory ADL from an early 6 digit receiver. It came off a 6mm Remington barreled action. It had the factory pressed in checkering which I imagine yours has right now. I...

Re: M40 Build Guide - Not M40A1 Great pictures guys!

Re: M40 Build Guide - Not M40A1 I'd prefer to keep this thread dedicated to the M40, but i'd be happy to help answer any questions you may have in a PM.
