Thats a beautiful stock.
Stopped by my favorite museum (might be a little bias lol) and thought y'all would like this
That is actually the scope that I modeled my coloring after. With the dark front bell. I really liked the Gold color, but just couldn’t get away from the “greenie” color scheme.
It is crazy that his original 6 digit action was still in service as an M40A1. Think of training on Chucks old rifle.
If you ever find yourself near Fairfax VA do yourself a favor and go to the NRA National Firearms Museum. It is amazing to say the least.
Shame they didn’t use the correct tombstone safety.

A great little video on a first generation M40A1 clone. Signed by the man himself. I dig the transitional phase when they still used “greenies”
Here piggy, piggy, piggy! No luck that day, but was still fun.
Plus an old classic.

The only current option for black oxide that Im aware of is Bill Corley in NC. I think his shop is called Outback Custom. Raven Rifles used to do a great job, but he quit building rifles.

Twomanattack black oxide an barreled action for me. Hit him up
I think you should just sell that rifle instead of investing in a SIMRAD for it ; )

She is one sexy lady!!!

Hey brother, looks like we've got the exact same rifles! Have you wrapped up an A6 build?
Hey, good to hear from you! Beautiful collection! I've got most of the components for an A6. Should be starting on it soon.Hey brother, looks like we've got the exact same rifles! Have you wrapped up an A6 build?
Fuck a goat....
This ole girl was in need of a new home... I couldn't turn her away.
My first A3 : )
My first A3 : )
I have been debating on doing an M40A3 out of the M40A1. Change the scope base to a rail, keep the MST-100 and throw the whole thing into an M40A3 stock and add a magazine kit. Just to do something a little different.
I thought about doing the same thing, but in the end I just couldn't give up an A1...
DW
Yes, its an awesome scope, thank you very much!
The only problem is now I want another one for my A5 ; )
DW
It never ends I know .
Well it wouldn't do much to turn it back whenever I wanted. Just put the A1 stock back on and reinstall the A1 scope mount
I would just use a regular scope rail. I wouldn't modify the gun further.
Now its been quite a while. But first observation is that it may look unsightly with the clip slot showing under the mount without the lug. Probably only noticable to you and under close inspection but may be bothersome. Second, Yes the A3 was "lug slotted " not for the clips and if I recall.. wasnt the top of the receiver machined flat to fit the bottom of the rail ?
Shes gorgeous...Im so torn on what to do! But Im going to do something...LOL
My contribution to the thread - some really nice rifles here! Go back in time to 1966 or so!
So my girlfriend was sort of "anti gun" when we first met. She didn't really understand civilian ownership of firearms. Now though she wants me to teach her how to shoot precision. So I went and bought her a Ruger Precision Rifle in .243 to learn on. Today though it was nice and sunny so she asked me to take a picture of her holding my favorite rifle!
Congratulations on converting her to the Pro Gun Life !
My girlfriend at the time...now wife was anti-gun until she shot my .45.... I said shit I got a problem. Because she's deads nuts on the ?!
What he said!
Hope everyone here is doing well through this crazy time.
Took the A5 out for the first time in months to test out some cheap surplus M118LR I found; thought it might be too good to be true haha. Can't complain at $0.55/round after seeing the groups
