I just got my barreled action back from being cut and threaded, it was all I could do to stop and take pictures before I put it all together! Should have some completed pictures later tonight or tomorrow.
40x trainer done!

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
Awesome, I am already looking forward to the range report.. What scope is that?

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
I forgot to grab the bolt for the picture, I was in a hurry to get to work! The scope is an IOR 2.5-10X42 FFP, I should have it mounted up here shortly.
Sorry the pics aren't great, I'm just using my phone

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
Nice, is that a suppressor in right hand corner of the first pic?

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
That is quite the work of art there. I like that the suppressor is the same diameter as the barrel. It really looks swell. Have fun shooting it!!!

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
Interested to see how it shoots. I have heard the 40XB barrels had a choke point near the muzzle and when they were cut, accuracy went way off. Looking forward to your range report.

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
The suppressor is a Gemtech Vortex .22lr, from a long time ago. I went out in the backyard today for a few, just to get it on paper. 30m to the target, and I had to turn the mag down all the way so I could see it clearly. I've considered other scopes, with adjustable parallax, but I wanted to try this out first. I'll wait to decide until I push it out to at least 50m.
Sighter and target on the left are Remington Subsonic, right target is Wolf Match. This one reason I love mil/mil, I shot a sighter round and dialed right into the bull.

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
Wow great pictures! Sure looks like it shoots good. Time to stretch out its legs if ya can.
Also.. I dig the duct tape. Nice stick

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
Very nice!! I cannot focus under 40 yards with my NF 8-32 on my 22lr.. I wish I could I would like to shoot some at 25 and 30. i may have to look at different glass too.

Judging from the pictures it should be the <span style="font-weight: bold">H-S Precision PST-006</span> which is the short action version of the long action M24A1 stock which is the PST-011 stock.
Hope that helps,

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
Gene, wasn't yours cut down as well?
Dantrom... the 40XB will accept any 700 stock. The 40X is built on the 722 receiver style.

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
When you told me that you made your integral suppressed .22 identical to an M24, I almost didn't believe you. I guess now that I see the pictures I will be eating crow next weekend. You should bring it with and see if we can get away with shooting it behind the B's.

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
"Integral suppressed?" Did I miss something? I see a thread protector and then a suppressor on the end of the barrel

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
Very nice. Would like to see how she does at 50 - 100. Mils rule.

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
No, it's not integral, it's a thread on. And yes, gszeto is correct on the stock it's the HS adjustable for a short action. And for those that don't know, the taped on cheekpiece is intentional, that's what you have to do with an M24.

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
What did you have the barrel cut down to?
was it originally 28"
I goin to cut mine down as well, and since I am making a m40a1 clone, I cant decide if I want to make it 24 from the recoil lug, or screw it and make it 18"...
Any new reports on accuracy at longer ranges?

Yes, mine was cut and recrowned at 20" from lug to muzzle.

If your 40x accuracy is just mediocre then by all means cut it. But if it is a "laser", "hummer", or whatever you want to call it then I would advise not to cut it. Mine at 28" was a laser, shooting in the 1s and even in the 0s at 50m (mostly in the 1s). I had it cut and recrowned and never got that back. I found out later that the 40x has a choke at the end of the 28" barrel which of course was cut off when I had it cut to 20". I am thinking of reintroducing the choke at the end of the 20" barrel but first I need to get a lathe to do it since it will take some trial and error to get it right.

Whats it shooting now? drastically worse? or still sub .5 at 50?

How do you go about doing that? lathes are good for removing material, not sure how you would re-implement the choke?
I am this close to cutting down my new 40x to 18" or so, but guess I better get it stocked up and shoot it first.
Thanks,

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
^^ Re-barrel it and keep the old barrel... that is my plan eventually - just got sidetracked building out a 3-gun AR platform. LOL!

Re: Almost there... 40x trainer
I really dig the M24 stocks.
The one in front in the black AICS is a Remington 40-X HB in 22LR. The bolt is a factory 40-X bolt, but will be replaced by the PT&G bolt that should arrive next week.
Both Remington's are waiting for some SWFA SS 5-20X50HD scopes to arrive as well.
