    M40 Build Guide

    Re: M40 Build Guide I'm BACK!!! OK; sorry for being out of the loop for so long. Good to see all the different projects are coming along. Mine, as of today, is at least FINALLY shootable, if not 100% finished. I still need to get the bolt body and bolt plug blued and the barrel channel...

    Re: M40 Build Guide I believe it was Ironsight, now that I recall, that I got mine from. Thanks for posting the pictures, Dutch. Nice rifle you have there; shame about the other one being stolen.

    My new M40 replica.

    Re: My new M40 replica. As best as I have been able to find, he's correct- the early barrels have the various stamps on the right (REP in an oval, upside down heart) and the other side has a date code and inspector's number stamped in it, OR it only has the "7.62 NATO" stamped on the left...

    My new M40 replica.

    Re: My new M40 replica. VERY nice job on the rifle! And yes; the Numrich stocks do take a lot of sanding on the front end. I like how yours came out. I think I may have to do some more to my own before it's done. What did he do for receiver, scope base and barrel markings? Perhaps you...

    Re: M40 Build Guide M1Sniper, that should make a really nice one. You could still send it to Mike Lau to have the Marine type of clip-slotting done to it if you wanted to, but most of the rest of the parts are there that are hard to find. The Badger replica M40 scope base for the early...
