M40A1 repo mounts and rings
Marty told me the Badger caps are made to the original specs. I do believe what Marty is telling me. The threads in the Badger caps are 6-32. Again the hole spacing is about .050" overall difference in width vs Redfield rings. So..... your all guess is as good as mine. From what I hear the...- Frank Green

M40A1 repo mounts and rings
Yes the Redfield rings are 8-40. The Badger cap threads are different. I forget what they are. I have it written down at home. I did what you did....I tried the Badger on a Redfield lower ring. Wouldn't line up. So I took the Badger Simrad cap and redrilled and tapped it to fit the Redfield...- Frank Green

Even Marty at Badger warned me... about the caps and mounts and the holes lining up on things that are out there.- Frank Green

group by on M40a1 barrels
The work load since we started 20 years ago has been a blessing and a curse. At times.. I just don't know what to say. In all honesty right now.... realistic lead times are I would say... 6-8 maybe 9 months. I don't get where all the stuff is going. In the last 8 weeks the orders for 30cal...- Frank Green

M40A1 repo mounts and rings
There are a run of simrad caps being made for the repo mounts on this group buy. The cap was also loaned from Ed Land that is being used to make them. The more I find out about the caps and mounts… the more variations that seem to exist. From what I’ve gathered so far… 3 slightly different...- Frank Green

Is this crown ok?
Not nice looking that's for sure! Does it thread/screw on o.k.? Fit not too loose / sloppy at all? If the fit's decent and no issues threading it on and off... it's cosmetic. I won't name the gunsmith.... but I know a guy who turns the major breech diameter of the threads undersize and uses...- Frank Green

Is this crown ok?
To the OP... What does the crown look like at the bore edge? If it's clean and uniform... I wouldn't sweat it. Take your Qtip like in the one pic and rub move it around the inside edge of the crown... as long as your not pulling chunks of fiber like that off from your threads... don't sweat...- Frank Green
