Re: looking to build an m40a5 any advice?
I'm also looking to build a variant of the M40. From what I can tell, it's sort of a mix between the A3 and A5. This is the first rifle I've ever tried to build, and I probably need a bit of hand-holding, so to speak. I have a list of the parts I need for it, but based on what I've read, there's a lot more to it. What I have so far is as follows:
Remington 700 Short Action .308 (I aim to buy one from Cabela's or the Bass Pro Shop)
Leupold 4.5-14x50mm LR/T Scope
McMillan A4 Stock, OD, Butt Spacer, Saddle adj. cheek piece, flushmount cups
Badger Ordnance 34mm standard scope rings
B.O. M5 trigger guard/magazine
Either DD Ross 30MOA rail or B.O. 20 MOA rail (does it really matter?)
Harris 3-9 Swivel bipod
Schneider 610 24-inch 6-groove 1:12" match grade heavy barrel
What else do I need? And is there anything special required to assemble all of this stuff? (Inletting for the trigger assembly, for example).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
