She is getting boxed up and heading to GAP this week for her long stay.
When she's done, she should be just like I remember.

Nice! What scope? Keep us updated, and make a video of her when she is done.

Re: She's heading to GAP
Is that the factory "clip slot" in that action?
You may want to ask George, but I'm not sure that's the technically correct action action for your build, I think the M40A1s were all machined to have the clip slot in them and it looked a little different. May not matter to you and I'm sure it will never be sold, but if your kid's kid sells it to buy a house someday then the correct action might make a difference.
Either way, can't wait to see it done!

I am not sure what blank they will use, but the goal is to be as close a replica as possible. The MST-100 is sitting in the safe.

This is a "six digit" action that is just a little earlier than the original M40A1 actions. The Clip-Slot is from the factory and the back of the USO MST-100 mount seems to fit perfectly. The front just needs to be opened up. However I am sending the mount along because I don't know if it's correct for the bridge height since Remington changed it along the way.

George put a Schneider on my M40A1 tribute (#7 Marine Contour)...if I recall that is the barrel they use on their standard M40A1 clone and was the original spec'd barrel? Shoots really well!
You're going to end up with one hell of a nice rig!
