    M40A1/M40A3 Desert Tribute

    I've decided that my first rifle build will be a tribute to my all time favorite rifle the M40 platform. I first encountered the rifle back when I was a kid and I watched it appear in the film Sniper (1993) Tom Berenger, the TV show NCIS (2003) Mark Harmon, the film Jarhead (2005) Jake...

    M40A1 Simrad issue

    I recently picked up a KN203FAB to go on my old A1 build, they don’t quite line up. The Simrad doesn’t quite get low enough to mount on. Curious if anybody has dealt with this? Are there any options to make this work? It looks like the objective won’t line up in the center of the Simrad eye...

    M40A1, did they tack weld the BDL box?

    Working on a M40A1 clone. Somebody mentioned that the armorers in Quantico would tack weld the BDL magazine box directly to the action. Is this true? If so, what locations around the box did they weld them? My action has the screw hole for the ADL retention screw, but I cannot find a BDL box...
