    It's been fun, but it's time for me to move on

    Alright gents, today's the day, I'm out. Terrible shit just keeps happening and it's the right time to step away from the forums. I have some certificates and other stuff to mail to people, which I'll do asap. Thank you all for everything and best of luck with your collecting.

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    When I was in a Scout Sniper platoon, we sent our rifles back to PWS when they reached 6,000 rounds. I'm not sure if that changed in recent years, but that's the round count for sending the rifle in for a new barrel. Even if the sniper rifle still shot well, the decision was usually made to send...

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    Thanks for posting that info! When I had to keep scrolling through the listing because the seller decided that it was a wonderful idea to just copy/paste the entirety of a CMP XM3 listing AND the entirety of the Steve Richaert XM3 web page, I completely gave up on even trying to find any...

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    Say that as well and I'm guessing that it is an IBA replacement barrel. Obviously, any gunsmith can hang a barrel and stamp it any way they want. The main thing that's going through my head is that there can't be a collector that's stupid enough to pull the original barrel with the original...

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    For the GB auction listing for XM3 S6550263, look at photos 36-44. The XM3 kit comes with the original takeoff barrel, which still has the original sniper paint on it that matches the sniper paint on the rifle. I've never seen something like this before, it's very unique and it might be the...

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    Look at photos 47-50 and 60 in the GB auction link, it shows paperwork for XM3 serial number S6550254 (which is the 46th highest XM3 serial number on my list).

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    Yes, that serial number is on the USMC list, so that is definitely a real USMC used XM3 sniper rifle. And holy shit, that seller's prices for stuff is literally retarded! 48th highest XM3 serial number (the list starts at line 2, since line 1 is the title line):

    The Unofficially Official Sub-Caliber/“Micro Bore” thread!

    I haven't done much with this project, but I just purchased 3 more .10 caliber barrel blanks (I'll post photos when I have them in hand). That bring my total up to 4 of the the .10 caliber blanks (16", 18", 20", and 22"). These are probably the very last .10 caliber barrel blanks available...

    USMC Unertl MST-100/150 scope covers

    The fabric Unertl scope covers are Badger Ordnance reproductions. About a decade ago, a sniper sent Marty an original fabric Unertl scope cover so that repros could be made. Marty got the exact dimensions and fabric type from the original, and he had a soft gear wizard make a handful of these...

    U.S. Restoration on M-40 Receiver

    I took these photos earlier this year. Hopefully my measurements are close to the actual spacing. The information in this post is only for the 6-digit serial number M40's! The 7-digit M40's and the early M24's have different US location/spacing/size dimensions. Original 6-digit USMC M40...

    U.S. Restoration on M-40 Receiver

    The US stamp on your rifle is too low.

    Interesting Rifle On the Line at Quantico Today

    Which serial number range? This rifle, 86584, is very far from the USMC and Army 5-digit serial number range.
