M40A1 USMC spec clip slot drawing.

Yours is another design i’ve seen done a few times, it’s like the original M40 clip slot but they have just made the pocket a little larger. Which makes sense as it would be easier to machine and allow the corners of the lugs to have clearance due to the radius.

It would be great to have some input from some 2112’s to see if they worked to any spec or just done it how the wanted.

They had machinist drawings that gave the exact specs for the PWS Clip Slot to the receiver, but you are correct that the original M40 Remington Clip Slot was just a fuzz wider especially in the rear.

The Marines detailed when you fit a New Unertl Mount to an original M40 receiver, you only had to hand fit the rear lug in the back, like what Random guy shows above.

In contrast the Marine build guide details on the replacement receivers, you might have to file the sides on the Unertl mount as well to get them to fit.

The receivers were cut to spec, to the drawings. But the Unertl mounts were hand fit to the receiver for a tight fit.

M40A1 USMC spec clip slot drawing.

Ok, so I have good news and bad news. The good news is I have the actual PWS clip slot Machinist drawings from the M40A1 build guide from the 1990's. I found it at the National Archives. The bad news is I gave my word I will not share the actual drawing. So if you have a question on a measurement, I can help confirm or deny numbers. I just can't in good conscience give out a copy, as I gave my word I wouldn't. You are welcome to PM me on it though if you would like.

On the actual M40A1 Clip slot (the one that everyone calls the PWS style) that style did not originate till the 1990's. The reason being before the 1990's, all M40A1's were just rebuilt M40 receivers. The original M40 receivers were factory clip slotted by Remington in the 60's, so there was no need for a PWS clip slot modifcation. It wasn't till the Marines started to buy new receivers in the 1990's that the new style clip slot came about.

Also just a comment, I have not seen any Unertl Mounts with the last four of the serial stamped on the bottom of the mount. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but all evidence I have seen shows they were marked on the top.

The whole numbering of the Unertl mounts seems to be a late modification. Most of the original mounts I have seen, even ones still on M40A1's in Marine inventory were not marked with the last four. It is also not mentioned in the Marines docs till the mid 1990's. Even interviewing several 2112's who were there for the whole M40A1 build program from the beginning till the end, they said it only came around late.

So if you are building one, unless you are going for a later style build, I would not personally mark the mount.

Now if you want to mark it, the Marine manual on building the M40A1 from the 1990's states, " Stamp the last 4 digits of the weapon serial number onto the top frame of the mount centered."

For instance, here is an original mount that was likely marked when serial 221,240 was rebuilt in 1998.

Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i

I spent enough time with my zcomp and my mates 540 side by side looking at steel at snake river to have a pretty good idea how they stack up for me.

Pretty much the zcomp is better image wise. It’s close but the biggest thing was the zcomp has more contrast which helps with definition and resolving details a bit better. The 540 is a tiny bit softer image and looks a tiny bit more washed out. Edge to edge is better on the zcomp also.

What the 540 does really well is the obvious fov increase. I shoot on 12 power mostly with the zcomp for the fov I feel most comfortable with. Shooting with the 540 i was running 18 power and had the same fov as the zcomp. So that was nice. The image is larger on the 540 also, the image is a bit brighter and you see less of the eye piece. It’s really impressive and an enjoyable experience to be behind.

So for me, even though it’s not quite as good as the zcomp image wise, it’s close enough that the larger image, brighter image and bigger Fov, overshadow the small compromise you make in image quality. Plus I really enjoyed the parallax adjustment and left sided windage of my old 525, so I’m going to sell my zcomp and try a 540.

I think I’ll benefit from higher zoom for same Fov, the larger image etc. Plus I like the reticle a bit better. So we will see in a few months after I’ve had one for a while if I still feel the same way or if I go back to a zcomp and it’s superior image, but it’s a really good scope.

If you need the K540i hit me up and/or if you want an updated ZC527 10MIL M1X NLE let me know :) -Richard 916-628-3490

Finding a wife

I'll add from personal experience that "she" is wanting a reaction from you, actually baiting you for it. By walking away you not only save yourself more possible trouble later, but also you actually "win" that interaction. Its mostly about control, and if you can control your emotions and not react, you will see her lose her control that she so desperately craves. So in reality, its not being a pussy at all. Its being smarter than your opponent.
