    New M40 receiver information

    An update . I have now seen ten or so original and listed M-40's serials between 221xxx's through 224xxx's. These ranges are pretty consistent stamp wise. in the dimension of the letters, width of the stamp and the U.S. roll stamps placement above the serials. The left side of U consistently...

    M40 technical information / Shims/40x Base

    Funny. I am looking at an original "listed" M40 sniper rifle brought back by a USMC officer (221xxx) from Vietnam with a shim under the nose of a redfield 40x base . Has a green M40 redfield 3x9 on it. The weapon is legit in every way. There is a second one that I have seen ( another 221xxx)...

    usmc assignement of Remington M-40 Rifles in Vietnam

    Interested to know if a USMC Sniper, upon completing his training, would be assigned his m-40 rifle at the school or would he be assigned a rifle when he arrived in Vietnam, circa 1966-1970? If so, what administrative unit would be responsible for recording the assignment.

    M40 technical information / Shims/40x Base

    After years of finding parts it is time to put a few M40 rifles together. All will be 100% original parts , excluding receivers of course. Last two technical questions. (All will be six digti 322xxx's,168xxx's ) 1.What size were the shims used under the front two screws of the 40x bases? Were...

    New M40 receiver information

    You are one of the most helpful people I know Rem Custom 6 and are always willing to freely share your knowledge. (We do know each other) My experience in M-40 stampings is limited to the early listed 168xxx's- 224xxx's ( only one in 322xxx range) runs . My hypothesis is they were very...

    New M40 receiver information

    Odd that the limited number of (8) early original (listed) receivers I have seen and measured would have all been so consistent in placement. Must have been a good couple of years (1966-68) on the roll stamp at Remington. All right on the same measurement (+/- .5mm) above from the serial number...

    New M40 receiver information

    An after thought..There are other unique qualitys that have been noted in that factory roll stamp too. like the appearence of a slight tilt on the U because the stamp was hitting a bit heavier (making a wider impresion) on the left side when it rolled through.

    New M40 receiver information

    Great string . Have been researching this for a few years and I concur. The positon of the the left side of the U. as it relates to the serial on the vertical axes is also critical. They are in different place on the six digits vs the 625's. on legit weapons. Although you have .260 above the...

    Rifle Scopes identification help. u.s optics

    Bought it three or four years back on an impulse off an auction site. It was alone and not part of a collection. Have an urge to play with it now, so I will put it on a higher end 15 and take it to the range to see what it can do.. Always liked the durability of the older U.S. optics stuff...

    Nik H. Thanks so much for the daya sheet. It is a keeper. Do you know why the scope is stamped USMC next to the serial of 0165? Appears to be factory.
