Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

[ColRH7]

DD Ross will sell you his bottom metal. If you need his scope mount you’ll need to outside source it or have him build it for you. If you get ahold of him let me know. He’s been incommunicado for about 6 months.

I emailed him a few months ago and he called me, you might just have to email again?

What velocity/ammo you shooting?

What velocity/ammo you shooting?

Just some 01’ dated 118LR today, I’ll move into hand loads with it shortly. Averaging 2648fps, SD of 11 and grouping at sub 1/2 MOA. Pretty good for old ammo.

Hard to beat that with handloads other than getting more velocity and lower ES possibly. Those Schneider barrels are tack drivers

Agreed. The loading part for me is more for my own therapy and quiet time, keeps me sane.

Put the xm-3 up against the m24 this morning. Both fun as hell to shoot, both heavy as shit

Which is your favorite and why is it the XM-3?

Xm-3 for sure. Shorter and more magnification give it the clear edge.

Putting a 5 shot zero on the A5 using factory Applied Ballistics 185gr Juggernaut’s. Not much into benchrest technique but thats good enough for me.

The A5 with the A1, and a MK13.

whatever these guys used. It was called Applied Ballistics Munitions a few years ago. It was a buck a round so I thought I would give it a try.

Snagged a unicorn piece for my M40 project. Found an E676xxxxx prefix marked action for the heartbeat of the build. I now have almost everything I need minus an issued A3 or A5 take off stock. Wanting to go for all the details on this one. If anyone has a lead on one please let me know!

I’ve seen you people use a writing instrument
“special” seems to fall short of the description.

Like shit. Not impressed. Maybe it needs more than 12-twist?

Edit to add. You have no idea the amount of failed papers I had in english class because the ink smeared from my hand. And her solution “just use your right hand” to which I replied with “why dont you use your left hand”. I was suspended for 3 days for “disrespecting” the teacher.
