    The difference(s) lie on the right side of the receiver. The rear wall of the ejection port should be relieved (notched back,) a feature which allows the shooter's thumb easier access for loading cartridges.

    M40 Build Guide

    rlm8541, I've already posted on your thread which is attended by my personal thanks, but by any measure, a significant contribution and aid to the 'clone' builder and M40 enthusiast. Considering how long ago these rifles were fabricated, your thread is like M700/M40 archeology- peeling back the...

    M700/40 Take off stock measurements (Pic Heavy)

    rlm8541, Talk about accuracy and your photo quality is phenominal!! My personal thanks for your time and efforts in bringing this information to the Sniper Hide forums, for the rest of us. This level of information and detail, on the M700/M40 cannot be found, in print publication, or on the...

    The front swivel components, for the M40, were sourced from Remington's discontinued Model 725 offering. The swivel loop was changed from a ~3/4 inch to a 1-1/4 inch. See my Post 901/Pg.19 to get a better idea of the size components fit to the bottom of the stock for the front swivel. No...

    M40 Build Guide

    Great advice, rlm8541. It's exactly these little details that can really matter... for instance; I was under the impression that the original bottom metal was "smooth, without any texture and was finished in a semi-gloss black." So, which is it? Matte or Semi-Gloss? Gets mighty confus'n...

    mjh30, I've got a NUMRICH stock, but was impressed by these photos also- and, it should be impressive as all-get-out/shut-the-back-door at $300.00 a pop. Not sure if they have a Type-1 AND a Type-2, OR just a Type-2. Macca is digging and uncovering the details on this/these CRS stock...

    WAY TO GO Mossyrock !! I would definitely have gone with one of these, when starting my project, IF they'd been available, at that time.

    M40 Build Guide

    I intended those comments for stocks like the CRS and Sunnyhill profiles, which appear, to me, to be a Type-2 profile. The NUMRICH, I think, really lends itself towards the Type-1 profile. NOTE: While we're at it, co-mingling the "Gen. (Generation)" and "Type" 'descriptions,' for the stocks...

    Macca, Photos... photos help. On another note, what did CRS say about their Gen.-2 stock, or are you going to let that slide? Pick-up a shovel, it's your turn to dig.

    rlm8541, Go with a new link, just like "MescaBug" and "tokiwartooth" did. I'm all for anything that makes this stuff easier to find, for reference and review purposes. Then, post here to let us know where and how to find it.

    M40 Build Guide

    Not sure, without a photo, that I understand what you're describing, but I'll give it a shot. Go back, into the forum and you'll note, that the threaded posts of the front and rear swivels of the M40 were 'sleeved' by larger steel 'inserts' into the stock, which they shouldered up against to...

    You do know...that some of you other M40 "aficionados" are free to jump in here. Questions re: 6 digit or 7 digit valuations and the like, or stock contours, for instance, are looking for folks with experience in those areas or even owners of original issue components and/or rifles...

    As suggested, you could start, here, by posting a list of your part wants/needs or, browsing and digging on eBay (rings, mounts, sling swivels, scopes, bottom metal, barrel take-offs, trigger, safety group, slings) Gunbroker (rings, bases, scopes) NUMRICH ARMS (stock, sling swivels, bolt shroud)...

    A 6 digit M700 action and/or receiver will bring a premium, but you don't have to wait until you find an action, or just a receiver, to start collecting the other parts; ie. butt plate screws, bottom metal, sling swivels, sling(s), scope mount and rings, scope, magazine and follower, trigger and...

    M40 Build Guide

    Welcome "deadwolf," You're at the edge of the pool, but there's really no 'low' end. Now, you can 'overlook' a few details and obtain a certain 'look,' but it won't be 'accurate,' or a true replication of the rifle. For instance, you don't need a 6 digit serial number (there's photos of a...
