If the scope on the top rifle looks a little strange, its a Redfield 3-9 made up to look like a Unertl for my .22lr.

The 40X/M40A1 is my favorite rifle to shoot and small game hunt with... the only down side to it was the cost to build : )I really like the pea shooter. I might do something like that for my son.
Bill Corley in North Carolina did the machining work on the receiver and a retired Marine friend of mine did the rest.Who built your 22 LR M40A1??
Here's a thread of pics of M40A1s in service (with a couple of exceptions): https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/m40a1-pictures.6956432/
I've always wanted to do an M24 build. I've had a couple customs done, but always ways wanted to do the original. So for me, I'd go original.If anyone wants a full spec M40A1 repro build with a (return?) smear stock, real Unertl USMC 10X, on a low serial number range 6-digit action: https://www.rockislandauction.com/d...-bolt-action-rifle-configured-as-a-usmc-m40a1

The one in the auction? I remember back when I was a younger and fell in love with the M40A1 before forums, social media, etc.. Mike Lau and Texas Brigade was like the only guy to build them...lol I use to just stare at the website and say someday...someday.. There was Iron brigade armory as well but dont think they did the A1 as spec. It was the Chandler rifle and a little different if I recall. And this was back in the 90's... websites were like one or two pages.The more I look the more I think that m40a1 is a rifle Mike Lau built for me and I sold here on hide years ago. Only rifle I regret selling.
Yes, the one at auction.
I recall the same things you comment on about Mike , IBA and websites.
To me, the smear stocks have a special warmth.
I made a couple of outstanding (for me) running shots with mine. One o a deer a client wounded and one on a coyote. Both over 400 yards. Both going full speed. Loved that rifle. Sold it due to not being suppressor capable. Mistake!
