    Hey all. Very researchable question, I admit, but figured some on here would know almost instantaneously How many MOAs are in a turret revolution for the Leupold M3 that sits atop the M24, and the Unertls that were on the M40s? Thanks, BB

    M40 Build Question for USMC return Stock

    I am wondering what you guys would go with. I can pick up a 40X repeater complete rifle or a Remington 700 with rock barrel installed and is clip slotted for the same price. Which would you guys go with? Thanks

    what is the correct sling used on the early m40

    Okay, I recently got the remington commemorative m40. I ordered the green leupold scope and badger retro rings. I was thinking about going authentic but decided against it as it is on a commemorative rifle. Anyway, the rifle comes with a nylon sling in the box. I am wondering what was the...

    Remington M40 barrel brush "feel"

    I've already stated how much I've wanted this particular rifle and finally got one the other day. I Love it!!! It shoots as good as or better than anything I've shot to date.

The barrel is also coded U W N 41 which would put it August of 66 build date. The rifle is parkerized, the bolt...
