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

    https://cmpauction.thecmp.org/detail.asp?id=9142 Sold last night for $10k. Probably a few reasons people stayed away from it. The first reason is confusion about what this rifle is. I had a lot of people contacting me about this auction listing and they were asking what this rifle actually was...

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    That's spectacular! For those that might not know, everything about the M40 is an original US military sniper rifle. Those are some of the rarest vintage sniper rifles in the world, it an outrageously impressive collection! If you and @Topgun117 combine your rifles, you'd have the ultimate USMC...

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    Please don't sell yourself short, with a collection like this, you're far from being the low man on the totem pole. Now that I've sold most of my M40xx stuff, I get to claim the low position, lol. You've put a ton of time/money/effort and, most importantly, dedication into this outstanding...

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    Yes, there are a few examples of the early large butthook McMillan A4 stocks in private collections that were sold to civilians in the very beginning of the production run. However, even those early civilian A4 stocks are very rare. One of the members of this forum has one on one of his M40A3...

    2025 Scout Sniper Association M40A5 rifle raffle!

    I discussed this with JT yesterday, and unfortunately we don't have a silencer or silencer certificate for this M40A5 package. We decided not to include a silencer because of the issues with legality if the prize winner is in a ban state. And after looking at the current production SureFire...

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    Beautiful rifle and it's an amazing piece of USMC GWOT history! I'd recommend posting a few photos of the rifle and maybe even a range report (with photos of targets too) in one of the XM3 threads that we have open on this forum. Some people specifically subscribe to threads they enjoy, and...

    U.S. Army/Navy/USMC M14-based sniper and DMR/SDM rifles circa late-1960s to late 201Xs

    No idea on the scope, but that's definitely a LaRue Stomp mount that doesn't have the top portion attached to it. I actually have one of these mounts available, if anyone needs it. It's pretty difficult to find the old Stomp mounts.

    2025 Scout Sniper Association M40A5 rifle raffle!

    That's awesome! Please tell me that you took some photos of the rifle and that you also got to shoot it! What do you think of the clone build aspect? Did we hit all of the large and small details on this build (100% USMC specs)? Did you shoot the rifle, or see it being shot? If so, what were the...

    U.S. Army/Navy/USMC M14-based sniper and DMR/SDM rifles circa late-1960s to late 201Xs

    Not really, when you look beyond the surface level. They're actually making sure that you don't spend your money so that they can find a way to take it from you later! That's the way of the shifty shitlibs!
