The 80% I am building right now used an 8” long 1/8” bit to access the detent location via the barrel hole. Piece of cake! Starting on an 80% takedown version next.

Thanks for going back!! I've been away for quite awhile, nice to be back!! This format was so much more user friendly!!!

I went with a Redfield 3x9x40 Wide-View with the tombstone reticle for my early M40-A1 repro on a Turn-In early smear pattern stock. It will do until I have the scratch for a true period correct Redfield, Unertl, or US Optics repro.....in other words, I'll be using the Redfield for awhile...

Looks like they are out of carriers now, but still have bolts... If your planning/working on a LR 308 build I'd jump on it! Carriers seem to be available more frequently than the bolts....

DPMS is still selling them (uppers) through their website.... Bought one a couple of days ago. Got my lower from Fulton Armory & really wanted to stay with them for my build, but they are only showing their side-cocking model available and I already had their regular chrome carrier...

Get em while you can!! Prices are fair!!

Re: my m40a3 w/ new group pics Would love to find an AD 2112 to put my M40A1 together! Have had all the parts for awhile now... Would need tp be an old school 2112 I guess though..... Nice rig!

Re: Giving this away..... Count me in please!

Re: Finally bit on a Manners! Dealing with wait times? I run the MCS T1 and love it!! The T5 is also on my short list though! Manner's product & customer service rocks!!!

Re: Corps seeking alt 2 MEU (SOC) 1911 anyone know Thanks for the insights Chucky! I concur that the Corps is stuck in an almost romantic attachment with the bolt actions and it is well past the time to change platforms... My next build is going to be based loosely on the M110. It will be a...

Re: Corps seeking alt 2 MEU (SOC) 1911 anyone know Thanks for the S2 Gents! Will be interesting to see who they go with!! What say you all on the dropping of the MKII Mod 1 in favor of the Army's M110? Seems like a good move financially & cross-service familiarity with the platform...

Re: what are these called? I meant to imply that the attachment point could be retracted by pushing it in & extended again by pushing on it and it popping back out to a useful length.... NOT having the whole cup pop in & out of the stock.... <div class="ubbcode-block"><div...

Re: what are these called? One of these that was capable of being popped in & out looks like it would be pretty popular... I'd try a couple! Any "Hide Vendors" listening? Seekins? Hooper? Dennis (SDW)? Anyone with the machinery or contacts with someone set up for this type product? Just...

Re: Corps seeking alt 2 MEU (SOC) 1911 anyone know Was also saddened to see the SAW is being semi-mothballed for an H&K M27!! Don't think the H&K will last though with the inability to swap barrels and the required reduced rate of full auto fire especially in warm/hot climates... And they are...

The Corps is seeking an alternative to the MEU (SOC) 1911 anyone know which .45's they are considering to replace them with? (reason quoted for replacement was that it impractical to issue the MEU (SOC) 1911 in the quantities they need).... Thanks for any insights!

Re: Good Guy List Boone is GTG as well! Will definitely take you up on your invite to check out the Putnam range!

Re: My Notice Do you offer the M40A1 USMC spec clip slot (useable for loading from stripper clips when optics aren't mounted) or the square slot? Please pm me with details as I have a receiver I need slotted for a turn-in clone build. Do you also offer rebarreling? Thanks!

Re: Anyone have custom lever gun? Smith recomendation? Have much love for my old Pre-64 Model 94 Winny, post 64 AE and even the Centennial Edition I acquired as trade fodder! All are great ground hunting deer rifles! (even though they are designed & work awesome from a scabbard on...

Re: Best .22 to "feel" like a R700 The CZ 452's are probably your best option to get in on the cheap, add the after market BM, trigger kit, and base as well as the new McMillan or Manners stock when funding allows...
