Re: M40A1 Build
Jas, I think if you could procure the proper parts, then a good smith could put it together. What the restrictions on importing a barrel, bottom metal and such to Australia.

Re: M40A1 Build
The bottom metal,stock and barrel would not be a problem.
Finding and importing a clip slotted reciever would be, the reciever is considered a firearm. Clip- slotted recievers are as rare as hens teeth over here. Most people do not know what you are talking about let alone seen one.
But it is a path I will consider going down.
