M40a1 build guide

Well a couple of you have asked for a build guide for our M40a1 take off stocks. I am building an accurate clone, and learning as I go. I am by no means an expert, but I'm trying to find the right information just like many of you. Please post if it directly pertains to a the topic at hand or better yet just email me so we can keep the information condensed.

Swiss K31 Sniper Build

So I recently built a kinda sporterized K31 target rifle (don’t worry, i bought all parts separately, so no K31 where hurt). Last saturday I got to test it and shot a 0.5 MOA group at 300m. Now i kinda want to put a scope on it. The scope should be from the 30s to 60, maximum 1 inch in diameter, shouldn’t have an objective bell and a minimum of 3.5x magnification. I want to mount it with a custom mount to the 11mm rail (where the diopter is mounted now) on the left side of the receiver. Any recommendations?

Accessories Chisel Machining Remington 870 stock

Removed these from my SBS. Barrel was cut/crowned to 12.5", cerakoted graphite black, had the Vang Comp port system, and gold bead sight installed all done by Vang Comp. Chisel Machining 870 stock still looks new, has RMR mounting plate on top and kick-eez recoil pad, compatible with any Remington 870 as far as I'm aware.

$400 for the barrel
$300 for the stock

Replace AICS Spigot with Rail

Hey guys, a while ago there was a guy on here that was machining a new insert for the front of an AICS Chassis to replace the spigot receiver with a rail section that extended out a few inches.

Anyone have a link? I can’t seem to find it.

My spigot has a little play that is driving me nuts. Also, not interested in the Big Dog mount. I want the unit that requires you drive the pins out and replace the entire piece. Thanks.

Bear Pit Expectations

For those that are new to (or not acquainted with) the Pit, it can be a rough and tumble place. While not everything is allowed, it is a place for shooting the breeze, expressing opinions on non-shooting related topics, and a place to blow off steam. But lately there seems to be some misunderstandings about what is expected when diving into the Pit. A member wrote this, and I thought it was worth sharing...

"My views on the pit are like that of a rowdy bar...

1) You don't have to drink at the bar, you can always find a Starbucks.

2) If you're new to the bar...you're gonna get fucked with.

3) If you say stupid shit at the bar...you're gonna get fucked with

4) If you think you're better than everyone at the bar...you're gonna get fucked with.

5) If you can give and take a few punches...and laugh about it later...you've earned a seat at the bar.


Essentially, don't walk into the Titty Twister...order a banana daiquiri...then rage quit when people start busting your balls."

You should have a thick skin while venturing into the Pit, but there are rules...play nice.

M1917 vs M1903

I've always wondered why the '03 seems to have been so much more popular for use as a match rifle than the 1917(during their heyday: 1910's - 1950's or thereabouts when the Garands and M14's completely took over High Power - Service Rifle, and Model 70's/40X's/etc completely took over High Power - Match Rifle, 3x600, prone, long range prone, etc)?

Is the '03 simply a more inherently accurate rifle(IMO a valid question, because the '03 receiver was WIDELY used in the Mann Device for ammo accuracy testing and whatnot for like 100+ years)? Or was it a case of the '03 simply having sights more conducive to competition/precision in general/etc? Or...??

There were FAR more 1917's produced vs '03s during WW1(along with commercial variants eg: Remington Model 30 & Winchester Model 51 Imperial). And they consequently played a far bigger role in the US war effort than the '03 did, in the 1st world war...esp. if you count the P14.

I ain't aware of any commercial '03 variants(aside from the M1922 and the DCM Sporter if ya wanna count them?)?

TL;dr/summary: why no 1917 National Match Rifles? Why so few custom 1917 target rifles?
(Yes I'm aware of Comfort's winning the '35 Wimbledon Cup w/ a custom .300 H&H 1917 {{and @sirhrmechanic 's amazingly beautiful clone/recreation of said rifle, or was that you, @buffalowinter ?}}.

Regardless - my point/question still stands; the '03 dominated the Nat'l Matches up until the Garand NM and Don McCoy's match conditioned Garands were born.. and the 1917 was perceptively very rarely used in comparison. Why is that?

Thanks in advance gentlemen.
God bless & best regards!

Zermatt Origin bolt/firing pin loose

The part of the zermatt origin bolt (firing pin) that connects with the trigger has become loose and I can wiggle it
back and forth and am not sure if/how I'm supposed to tighten it? I'm guessing that hole is
where the set screw is, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to tighten it while inside the bolt like in the first picture
or remove the firing pin and tighten the screw while not in the bolt like in the second picture? If anyone knows how
I'm supposed to tighten and service the firing pin/bolt let me know.
Thanks,

What would be a good modern functional scope for a m1903a3

I've got a weaver k 3 on my m1903. I feel like I could do a lot better shooting with a better scope... but then ... it's a m1903. I don't really want sone crazy scope on there. What would be a good scope that would look right on it.

Im on the fence that a leupold 3-9x40 with cds dial would be the best model scope that would look right on it.

Accessories Don’t crap in threads.....even if you think it’s price gouging.

Guys.....rules. If you have a problem with a listed price, send the seller a PM, or use the report button. If you report something and it doesn’t disappear, take that as confirmation that the item or post is g2g.

Do NOT crap in the thread. I’m tossing out very short bans instead of the normal 1-2 weeks just to get the point across. If it continues, they will be the longer bans.

If someone wants to pay gouged prices, that’s their business.
