The rifle was finally built this past weekend by USMC 2112 armorer SSgt Jake Meyers! It took a while, the hurricane definitely messed stuff up for us, but we have everything built into the best M40 clone ever made! SSgt Meyers did an unbelievable job turning a pile of original circa 1966 USMC used/surplus M40 take-off parts and a circa 1966 civilian Remington M700 receiver into one of the most amazing M40 clones in existence! SSgt Meyers is one of the best USMC 2112 armorer out there, and he's the only 2112 who knows every tiny detail about every single M40xx variation from 1966 to the current issue rifles (and he's able to build all of these M40xx rifles 100% to their original specs)!
This M40 clone build is an unbelievably amazing rifle that was build by an amazing Marine 2112 armorer with original USMC M40 parts, so it doesn't get any better than this for collectors! There's about $15k in parts to build the rifle, and the completed rifle is probably worth around $20k with this provenance. Don't miss out on this one, we're never going to raffle off another circa 1966 M40 clone like this ever again!
We even used the original Remington "US" rollmark from 1966 to mark this receiver! Jake made a rig to mark Remington 700 receivers in the correct location! This is a first for an M40 clone and it makes the rifle that much better!!!
And we also decided to add a CMP military surplus 1911 pistol as a 2nd place prize!!! I also donated this pistol,
and I think it's a great 2nd place prize that matches the 1966 M40 clone pretty well! Here's photos of the actual 2nd place prize pistol in this raffle:
