Gunsmithing M40A1 build question..

[Charlie112]

If I build a rifle to fit the title, with the correct parts, can I use the period correct bottom metal if I change the caliber to .223? Possible 20 inch barrel with break, instead of correct 308 barrel length.
Thanks, Charlie112

Copy this build https://www.m40rifle.com/forum/m40/45115-raven-m40-in-223 and put it in an A1 stock . @pmclaine and Mark at Raven rifles should be able to help you.

I will say that with a 20" barrel and a break .. it will not have that A1 "clone" look. I will add that my M401 does have a threaded barrel but the regular M40A1 barrel length.
