    McMillan Return Stock

    I think the OP said the sling has been in his Dad's collection, though it would be a story if he had the barreled action.

    new-old 1903

    Artic Light, It should be in a straight stock, not a scant but I always prefer the C stock. I had at one time a modified that a few well known people thought was "as issued" and it had a straight stock. I think John Beard has that rifle now.

    A thread with links to suitable donor rifles?

    There are a couple nice ones on GB right now. I did get a bit of grief from a member for posting a link to a Unertl for sale so there will be some grumbling.

    EBay Beever156 M40 stock compared to original spec.

    Based on your measurements, the Beever stock is not all that far off.

    New McMillan HTG M40A1 smear stocks!!!

    The auction starting price is not that far over what McMillan would charge you for the same stock. The BIN price is scalper pricing. Now if you just gotta have one of the stocks with the special edition lime green well then you pay to play. Now if your a rational thinker, just wait until it is a...

    Looking for high quality, performance WOOD stock maker

    Steve Durren did this one for me. If you want a handmade stock your going to be in 4-5K range and that does not include the blank. You can find quite a few good stock makers at the ACGG website.

    Gunsmithing section

    I have been off the Hide for quite some time, but there used to be a section dedicated to "Gunsmithing". I cannot find it anywhere as it was my favorite section. Is the upgraded membership needed to access it, or is the section just gone?

    USMCSGT0331 newbies guide to building a M40

    And I'm the Dumb F$#k that bought that scope, wish I had seen this before I did....Oh well. I firmly believe the seller knew exactly what he was doing when he posted the "Stock" picture of the 200-600 yard tombstone. And knowing now that you questioned him about it and he did not add that info...

    Unertl MST 100 on Gunbroker

    Being as there was a certain bidder from Ohio who constantly has misleading ads on GB for his M40, M40A1 items, the scope was not going to go "cheap". Based on recent auction prices on the CMP auctions, the buyer did not get too bad of a deal. I love the 2 Unertl's listed on GI, one for 6K, the...

    Where to buy M40A1 bottom metal for build?

    Mac, I appreciate the advice, now as far as PTG goes I've had enough bad experience with that company that I won't be the guinea pig. I also don't like the "no refunds after the order is placed" policy. I'm keeping my eye on EBay seems the trigger guard is going to be the hard part.
