M40A3/5 PGW rails discontinued

[kthomas]

I was curious because I know of two people who have ordered them from PGW within the past couple months and got them without issue.

Interesting.

I know PGW has "winded down" operations, and they laid off a bunch of their staff. Apparently they are still producing rifles, but I don't know to what capacity.

I wonder if the people you know got some of the last rails they produced and were sitting on the shelves, or maybe something else is going on.

Honestly IDK. I don't have any insights into the inner workings of PGW and what that means for rails. I just know that they have really slowed things down operationally.

If what they just told me today is correct (I don't see why it wouldn't be) I ordered the last one. It appears as though PGW rails are only going to be available second-hand now.

solstrategic makes a direct replica

FYI, our business will be carrying both the McMillan A4 stocks for M40A3 and M40A5, with the hope of having them in-stock and ready to ship at any time, and no waiting. Our first shipment arrives "May-ish" of 2023, and we are taking a waitlist if interested.

But more on topic, we are carrying the SOL Strategic EFR, and will have the stocks built for that embedded front rail, which is very similar to the PGW rail, which is not sold commercially.

In speaking with McMillan, they had nothing but excellent things to say about SOL Strategic, and McMillan recommended SOL Strategic as the best solution for a true A5 clone rifle. The owner tells me that his rail is not the same, but it looks the same to me. I am sure he has some differences to not just copy PGW.

We are carrying their product, for purchase as a part, or with a stock.

Where do we sign up for the waitlist for the A4 stock at?

Opening an old thread, but I’m in search of a PGW EFR mount if anyone has one for sell. Please PM me! Thx

Doesn't Charlies Custom always have them available?

Charlies has this: https://charliescustomclones.com/sol-strategic-efr-night-vision-rail-for-m40a5-usmc-sniper-rifle/

Which is apparently a drop in replacement for the PGW rails, sharing the same footprint

CCC is a ripoff and shady

If you need the repro EFR just buy it straight from Sol Strategic
