USMC M40 replicas (3 flavors: M40/M40A1/M40A5)

[Random Guy]

My M40A1 project was finished last night with the mounting of the scope, so I took a couple of groups pics of my three M40 replicas today. Not sure if the M40A5 qualified yet as "vintage", but its an interesting picture given that all 3 use the same Remington M700 short action, and all 3 have 24" barrels, but they each look and feel very different. They represent USMC sniper rifles from roughly 1966 to 2016. (I skipped the M40A3 as its similar enough to the M40A5, at least for me). Anyhow, happy Friday.

Nice set of rifles!

If nothing else, the M40 and M40A1 are vintage and the A5 is a later iteration of the progression of that rifle. So, in that perspective, it qualifies.
