Re: Actual M40 for sale

Great Rifle to own if you have the money to collect...I started to build a relica many years ago...Never finished it though...got a stock, replacement Redfield scope, mount/rings...Found an old 243 that was in the right ## range...then I sold it piece by piece...
About a year ago I found an old custom Remington Short action that was in an early early McMillan stock that was just right for an A1...sold it too....

Re: Actual M40 for sale

It is an awesome piece of US history and worth every penny. If I had millions I would have bid on it, but I don’t. Besides, the only other place you will find a rifle like that is in a museum.

A Henry rifle tied conclusively by both historical provenance and ballistic forensics to the Little Big Horn sold for over $500,00.00 at auction a couple of years ago. Can you imagine what a rifle connected to Hathcock or one of the other legends would bring?
