I have been asked several times in the past few months about the USMC 30 MOA base. The most frequent question I get is "whats the difference between the DDROSS and BADGER base". I assume that GAP, TBA and others use the Replica Badger base. I will add that Badger products are pure quality! Their customer service and business ethic is EXTRA-ORDINARY! I am a loyal customer.

You are building a "USMC SPEC" rifle and you want to put a "REAL DEAL DDROSS" base on it. However, you cant get DDROSS to sell you one, so you search the internet all of your free time and you get a base but dont know how to tell if its a real Ross base. Well here is a picture of both bases side by side. The Ross base is marked with an A, besides that the foreward rails are different. The Ross rail is a bit longer than the BADGER ORDNANCE. The finishes seem to differ also. Thats the difference. I buy both types of rails, but I prefer Badger due to price and their customer service. Hope that helps.

What do you mean by "the foreward rails are different?" Can you post up some pictures showing the difference? This info is very helpful for those looking to build their own M40A3/A5.

I posted a picture. If you cant see it, PM me and I will email it to you. The forward rail is longer. I could measure it, but it shows in the picture. The A is also a defining mark
