    M40a1 build guide

    Several pictures in Senich's book as well. Looking at those pics it really does seem to me that Remington altered their specs on the thumb relief in the rear bridge. The Senich's book shows most of those cuts as being more rounded than compared to current 40X rifles. I wish I would have taken...
