Weren`t the original M40 swivels a Remington factory swivel and the Wichita swivels not used until the M40A1 series?

You sir, have made a very good choice- almost my exact same thought.

Here`s a link so it`s easier to see USMC m40a1 mcmillan commemorative edition : Bolt Action Rifles at GunBroker.com Beautiful rifle-

Look and see if the bore is rifled and try matching with some photos and dimensions here: Springfield musket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It looks like your barrel might have been shortened, that might made finding the exact model a little harder.

Pretty sure that`s the one- it`s still listed as of today.

Looks pretty good- is it just the photo or is the finish on the eye piece and objective a different shade than the finish on the tube?

They were British made No.4 T`s that were sent into Indian service, well used and sometimes rebuilt by Indian arsenals. All the No. 4 T`s from Indian service I`ve seen have had the Isaphore (sp?)screw added to the fore stock to reinforce it for grenade launching. Some rifles fairly good...

The USMC M1941 sniper rifle, mounting a Unertl scope, was built using a M1903 Springfield. The M1903A3 rifle was modified to attach a short, receiver mounted scope- the modified rifle was designated as M1903A4. (Springfield Armory didn`t manufacture M1903A3 rifles- they were only manufactured...

And the reply from the CMP Auction forum webmaster: "Just like all of the other rifles we sell, they come with a certificate of authenticity. All rifles we receive are prior military ownership." Here is a link to the CMP forum where the question was placed Any body interested in a USMC Mod...

That`s a very good question, I`ve sent a question to the CMP auction staff asking what kind of documentation will be provided with the rifle to the auction winner. I`ll post the CMP reply when received.

The CMP auctions tend to end at prices above what a lot of the items are actually worth. The funds do go towards promoting the shooting sports and I certainly don`t begrudge the methods the CMP uses to raise capitol nor the prices that are willingly paid by the auction bidders. Still, I have...

Re: Hi-lux m40 scope As I understand, from what people with hands on experience have reported, the Unertl style scopes were very good optically. The micrometer mounts, however, weren`t very well made. Reports of loss of zero, mounts shooting loose, adjustments (clicks) not being uniform or...

Re: 1942 USMC SNIPER Optics on these scopes are reported to be pretty good- the mounts are reported to be not so great. Also complaints that the screws used are too soft to hold securely and need to be replaced with better (harder) quality screws. The copy looks more like the 1" Unertl...

Re: Another M1903A1 / USMC Sniper "look alike" begins When I did my build my scope went to Parsons Optical for some work and while there I paid to have them anodize the mounts. You have several finish options, or could just leave them bright.

Re: USMC M1903 A1 / 1941 Sniper Rifle Project begins Your front sight hood looks identical to an actual U.S.M.C. sight hood I have. Very nice recreation and dead on accurate to the original IMHO. You certainly were sent some nice items- I used a set of Bill`s sights on my clone rifle and am...
