Do you have her contact info?
DW
During the last MST-100 cycle I believe when you called USO's business number more often than not Becky answered the phone. Check out the USO website and dial up their main line.
How important is it to get the correct serial number range on the receiver?
Thats your call.
Its just numbers, there is no manufacturing difference really.
You determine whether having a G Code (M40A3) would cause you the stress of not having an E Code, other or 6 Digit.
I have a PWS built gun but its a G prefix.
Im happy.
Love this build guide
Any details on the beautiful lady?
Takeoff stock, hardware and bottom metal, CMP acquired Unertl, Hart M40 profile barrel, 2man rings and base, the action was one of the Remington M40 commemorative clip slotted actions, all in all really nice build by IBA in 2014-2015. Have the tenbraex polarizer and the kill flash was on the rifle in the pic. Hardest part was finding the Marbles brass cleaning rod and the armory fabricated issue spanner wrench. Was going to strip the paint off the stock, but its a piece of history with the layers of paint on there.

That’s sexy AF.
Is Dave Clark still with C&H? If not, does anyone know when he left? TIA.
He is not...I don't know exactly when he left but it seems like it was news on the M40 a year or more ago. I will try to find the thread...

That works - thanks. Looking at a M40A1 build and want to make sure it was a Clark rifle and not post Clark.
I had a rifle built by Mark Williams at Raven Rifles, @Raven 6
Though not an M40A1 it is M40/A1/A3/A5ish. Had it out yesterday at Sig Academy......

Mark has studied the USMC details and according to those that know those details a lot better than me he gets it right.
You will have to wait, especially you will be in line behind me as he has all the parts needed to build me an M40 right now, but it will be worth the wait.

I luv it, but that scope is cheating.
Thats the A5ish part.
Comprende senor.
My new acquisition. And for those keeping track, it is a real McMillan smear, albeit new production.
That's an awesome rifle!!Comprende senor.

I wish McMillan would make the A1 stocks with this pattern instead of the woodland they use...
Nice! And you have a weapons book! I need to find a few of those, but NOT at eBay prices!
Supposedly they will make you one, you'll just have to wait for the production run and pay a bit more than normal pricing.
Getting the M40A1 sighted in. Im happy enough with this using factory Federal Premium 175gr SMK
Reference the fixed parallax, at what range are you guys setting parallax for?
I left mine at the standard 300. Seems to work ok. Did this 6 shot grouping this morningView attachment 6969637
Thanks, I'll set at 300.
Actually the website is pretty new and definitely still a work in progress but it is moving along pretty nicely. Still more details to add and pictures for reference.
PWS guys said this:
are over-runs of this:
Notice it's packaged as 7.62x51 and not akin to the 168gr FGMM which is marked 308 WIN.
Interesting topic, Im trying to do a cheap m40 clone myself, As far at the parts mentioned below, will they be compatible to build with or any extra gun-smithing that may be needed. Please correct me if i wrong, or made a mistake in my planned build. Thanks

https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/66370035_remington-m40a1-rifle-of-usmc-sniper-c-hathcock anyone know if this is legit?
Is this the link that shut down m40rifle.com?
That would be it. Someone posted the link, people commented, then the OP deleted the link and got his own thread locked, so someone called the mods out for locking the thread and then posted their own thread about the auction. It was quite entertaining until the forums went full lockdown.
I read the back and forth but did know what the link was.
I checked it out and no wonder they dont want more people knowing about it.
I think the conclusion was that the rifle wasn't real but a reproduction using many real parts though.
