    M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found!

    Re: M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found! Now to get to the real reason that I posted the pict. I wanted a bunch of critique. Only way to find answers. The rifle is described as in later posts. Please check them. Any more info is appreciated. I am no expert on the M40 but very interested in...

    M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found!

    Re: re: vinv is a fucking liar I am looking for info on this rifle. I am in no way an expert on this rifle. I am on this site to get help. The rifle was in pieces when I got it. A complete set but not a "whole rifle". The package was represented to be original components. The data that I...

    M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found!

    Re: re: vinv is a fucking liar Don't have any idea. You guys are going to think I was a Marine or something? Let us get this straight. I would never pretend to soil that great badge of honor by implying that I was a Marine. No suggestion. I was asked to quantify the Pedersen Device in their...

    M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found!

    Re: M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found! Have the trigger guard and it is a dull finish on aluminum. Not like anything at Remington now. We put a different looking black coated guard on the rifle until this one could be repaired. Still not sure how to do this but I accepted the challenge. Thought...

    M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found!

    Re: Vinv is a fucking liar! You should be very careful with accusations. Could be a reason for the pict being what it was. Ask and the problem can usually be corrected. Do it here and I am good with that. The files that I have include way too many picts for all the reasons that you probably...

    M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found!

    Re: M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found! I know the socket head screws are there for now as I wanted new bolts and sent them out to get matched up. Heads were buggered a little. Know anybody that has them in great shape?

    M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found!

    Re: M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found! There are more pictures as this is a Museum rifle and on display for all to see. Keep in mind that most rifles are not 100% original. Unless the Museum can tell you the background it may not be all original. Things happen. Rifles are returned for a reason...

    M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found!

    Re: M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found! The USMC serial numbers are in "Death from Afar" Chandler and Chandler pg 116. ISBN 1-885633-00-9 This stuff probably from the USMC as I have seen nothing like it from Remington.

    M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found!

    Re: M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found! Yes the rifles that were shipped with the scopes were numbered with the base to the rifle. Well documented in the books mentioned. Rifles with bases didn't have the numbers-in the info that I got. Parts were just as they were received except specially...

    M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found!

    Re: M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found! I was at that auction and was the 2nd highest bid on both rifles. I suspect the people that got them would have gone higher. I inspected the rifles privately and they were nice. One just a little better than the other. I am sorry now that I didn't get them...

    M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found!

    Re: M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found! Yes there is much that is different on the M40. I got mine and it was probably in the process of being restocked. Probably with the Synthetic.The questions remain as to the correct parts that the Remington M40's from the factory shipped with...

    M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found!

    Re: M40 Build - Donor Rifle Found! The rifle picture is of the one at the Remington museum. It is not a USMC rifle as it didn't go to them after it was made. It is an M40 though. Just not bedded. The Marines did that. I have one also. I can help you with pictures of a particular part...
