    Converting Walnut 700 ADL to USMC M40

    Thanks Mescabug, I thought I might try both. I came across an ADL cheap that I thought I'd play with a little. I have a Gunville semi inlet I picked up myself - they're only 70 miles from where I live. Called 'em up, said I'd be passing through and so I got my choice from two they had in...

    Converting Walnut 700 ADL to USMC M40

    I'm considering converting a walnut ADL stock into a USMC M40 stock. I understand the need to: - modify the magazine area to accept BDL bottom metal, - open the barrel channel to accept varmint contour, and - removing the checkering. I feel comfortable with this. What I'm...

    M40 Build Thoughts / Questions

    My mistake... I inadvertently dropped the first digit, a 6. My recollection is mine is approx. 19k off which would make it 6.238M. I'll change the "2.5M" references above. I feel like an idiot. I'm traveling right now and using poor memory. (Initial post above edited to reflect 6.2M SN)

    M40 Build Thoughts / Questions

    I have the M40 bug and I am considering a build. I would appreciate any forum thoughts and insights. I have by sheer luck both a 6-digit (282xxx) and a 6.2 million BDL action... so I have a dilemma. Should I make what I'll refer to as a M40/6 or M40/6.2M also have a Gunville semi-inlet M40...

    Gunsmithing Headspacing of Rem 700 Take-off

    I am considering a VietNam-era M40 build by rebarreling a 22-250 varmint-weight barreled action (SN 262xxx). The preliminary plan is to rebarrel in 7.62 NATO with Douglas' close-to-spec varmint weight contour. My question is what is the likelihood that the 22-250 takeoff barrel can then be...
