Gunsmithing Cutting receiver for M40A3 rail

[WOMBAT2879]

I just bought one of the M40A3 rails from CDIPRECISION and I was wondering if anyone can recommend someone to cut the receiver and drill and tap the holes to 8/40.

Thanks
Josh

Loc: NW Louisiana If you can build a rifle and have a spec sheet to go by, you can build an M40A3. You can send the receiver out for cutting, I think it's around $125.00 or so. The specs are as follows for the M40A3

* Remington 700 S/A, Trued, lugs lapped.
* Optic Mount holes open up to 8/40 threads
* Rear receiver bridge is milled off to accept flat bottom DD Ross mount

* 1.200x3, Finnished .925 @ 25"
* Crown- 45 degree pull back, .090" deep

Bottom metal-
* Pre 2007 M40A3s used DDRoss bottom metal
* Current M40A3s use a Badger DBM system w/ 5rnd & 10rnd mags

Stock-
* McMillan A4 molded in OD green. Spacer LOP. Saddle cheek piece. Sniper fill. 1stud, 6 flush cups.

* When ordering from McMillan- ask for a USMC spec stock, with bottom metal specified.
* Pillar bedded

Optic & mounts-
* Pre 2006 M40A3s used a 1"tube fixed 10x Unertl- also made by United States Optics(MST100)
