M40A1 Stock, Where Can I Get One?

[SirCloake]

So I'm looking to build my final little rifle, I've got my big toy buy Id like a handy simple little rifle for fun with the boys, and general purpose in my nook of the woods. Simple 700 action that's trued, original floor plate inlet thats will be swapped for an oberdorf plate, chambered in 260 Rem, 26" straight taper barrel that slightly rolls off near the muzzle, no brake, no BS, simple-n-clean just like the original M40

My build needs a M40A1 style stock. Simple, clean, reliable, and a rock. Not interested in the tacti-cool lines of most stocks, and unfortunately the Bell & Carlson stock has that weird bump just after the floor plate. Looking for that classic M40A1 style stock, but not interested in that McMillan over priced BS. Maybe theres something very comparable aswell, im open to any and all info. Im not one to care what color it is that's what epoxy and sand is for.

My Reference picture:

Could any of you fine folks point me in the direction of either a place that sells them new, OR other reliable and safe Equipment Exchange forums that might have them? Lots of wisdom on here, so I'm hoping to tap in to it!

Cheers

1st, mcmillan is not BS and you can get that exact stock as is was built for the usmc. You get quality with the price.

Having said that.... if you want to go a cheaper route there isn't anything wrong with it. Try the Bell and Carlson M40 stock for about $300 with aluminum bedding block.

Maybe a Manners MCS-T or MCS-T3 stock is close to what you’re looking for

BS referring to the price, not the quality. I have 2, still would never pay there asking price.

Might you have a model in mind by chance? OR one you would be referring to?

Tactical Stocks

TACTICAL RIFLE STOCKS are second nature to us and we have listened to multiple departments and agencies to create a stock that will deliver when failure is not an option. Rugged designs and the ability to work with popular accessories will ensure you are ready for the job

Or this: McMillan HTG M40A1

If these are too expensive then you may be better off finding a Remington 700 basic take off HS precision stock that someone is selling for around $250-$300

Hi, there is one on gunbroker but he or she wants quite a bit for it.

Grayboe terrain?

For sure a contender, might have to keep an eye out on the Buy/Sell for one! Solid recommendation! Just need to find one that's affordable.

Sold spot man, I appreciate that! Unfortunately after the exchange rate that's well beyond my budget. Ill probably stick to lesser brands.

Depending on how old your boys are and how much you plan on carrying around the rifle a M40 26 inch barrel is going to be no fun to lug around on a rifle. It's not going to be a handy simple little rifle, thats just my opinion.

Mcmillan called me yesterday and they accidentally put my order in twice. There is a Spec m40a1 stock with the exception of added pillars ready to go there.

Just saying.

I currently lug around a 20+ lbs gun for range and hunting, professionally I lug around 30 lb machine gun, I'm pretty sure a 10 or 12 lb M40 won't bother me. Hence why I want a stock and not a chassis.
