Definitely not M40, but this looks like an early HTG ADL Smear. I have no immediate build in mind, so it will get shelved for now. I can sell off the 40X BA and Zeiss scope to recover some of my outlay. I have no interest in BR rifles or 6MM PPC. I don’t think I’ll ever know when this was built, but clearly the early 40X had a previous life.
It’s being shipped to my FFL. Once I have it in hand, I’ll separate the action from the stock. Hopefully, it’s not glued tight. My only real concern is if the bolt handle cutout will fit a 700 swept handle without too much work. Gun store guy thought it was a poorly done homemade camo job.
Enjoy the pics,
Greg
