It's an M40 "clip slot" base that I make in house. 4140 chromoly pre heat treated to 36 Rockwell. We do the fitting on the action as well.
Make sure you look over the entire listing so you know what is in store.

Chad, do you guys do the digital stock paint there in the shop? I'm assuming yes, just making sure. Looks awesome, as usual.

"DMP" -Digital MisPrint...
A name someone on this very forum conjured up, so I plagiarized it and that's what we call it now, lol.
Yes, we do it all in house. This pattern came about literally by accident. What I wanted, or least what I thought I wanted, was a blending of "1960's John Wayne/ARVN S. Vietnam Tiger Stripe Camo" blended with the modern MARPAT design.
Using a shitty shareware software package I modified the images. The software had some clunky filtering capability. I literally touched "something" on the keyboard, to this day I still don't know what, and what you see on the stocks is what it did. I liked it, mashed the save button a million times, and we've been using it ever since.
In the beginning we didn't know how/about to cut vinyl for stencil. Instead I took these images and converted them to CNC code. I bought delrin cutting boards and machined the pattern into the plastic. Kalli and I would stretch tape over the cutting boards and go to work with an X-acto knife. -13 hours to do a color. It sucked.
Were much more proficient now and I'm working on something that could make this fly at a pace bordering on the absurd. -imagine a 5 minute prep time. I think it's possible.
The quest for world domination continues, lol. . .
Thank you all for the kind words. It means a lot to all of us here.
