    Watch out Ar 308 makers and smiths

    Re: Watch out Ar 308 makers and smiths There are notable cases where a trademarked name had become so common as to be used to describe all products of that variety. The courts determined that those names could be used by other companies because the buying public had the habit of referring to...

    precision rifles... show em

    Re: precision rifles... show em Wow! That rifle (especially the bolt) is so pretty it should be on tour. I have viewed the first half of the entire thread and I had no idea that so many beautiful rifles even existed. Yours is exceptional even in this company.

    Photos SCAR 17

    Re: SCAR 17 That's not too bad. Far better than it looks with the bi-pod, large scope and handle grip.

    M40A1 accessories

    I need two things for my M40A1. Lens caps that will fit the Unertl 10X (prefer clear flip-ups)and, a bubble level that attaches with out drilling or damaging the rifle. Can anyone tell me where to obtain these items?

    Authenticate M40A1

    Re: Authenticate M40A1 I can't imagine (or don't want to) the circumstances under which I might sell the A1. But I do have more Kimber 45s than I can shoot and a stainless S&W 357 magnum (2.5in) that hasn't been fired in years. Did your rifle shoot as well after it was threaded as it did before?

    Authenticate M40A1

    Re: Authenticate M40A1 It just struck me after reading the recent posts, that the barrel does have a crown that I believe is supposed to enhance accuracy. I looked at a suppressor today that seemed to have a similar type of crown configuration. Does anyone know if a suppressor (with or...

    Authenticate M40A1

    Re: Authenticate M40A1 I actually found the receipt today. It mentions TBA. Since it wasn't built at Quantico (a fact I reasoned was likely after the first few responses) I don't have to worry about historical correctness. My plan is to return it to Mr. Lau and ask him to thread and cap the...

    Authenticate M40A1

    Re: Authenticate M40A1 Update on the M40A1. I called my dealer and his recollection was that the rifle was built by Iron Brigade Armory. I exchanged emails with Neil Chandler, the owner of IBA and he was very helpful. He researched his records but could not confirm the rifle was built in his...

    Authenticate M40A1

    Re: Authenticate M40A1 Thanks. I really enjoy shooting it, but fell on hard times recently. My job of 19yrs went away when the factory closed. I recently renewed my range membership and purchased 500 rounds of M118LR last night. I can smell the gun powder already.

    Authenticate M40A1

    Re: Authenticate M40A1 The scope appears to be a T-series Unertl. It doesn't have any of the U.S. Optics markings on it. The rifle was displayed on the shelf at my dealer's shop with out the scope or bi-pod. I had him order the scope separate and the bi-pod was on a shelf.

    Re: Authenticate M40A1 I watched the McMillan video on the commemorative rifle and this doesn't appear to be one of them. There are several differences.

    Authenticate M40A1

    Re: Authenticate M40A1 Thanks, I tried to separate them but I couldn't get my cursor to appear in the box for some reason. It can shoot. The last time I had it out (a couple of years ago) with TTI 175gr. (the older better quality stuff) A three shot group at 200 yards could have been covered...
