I came across an old 6 digit Rem 700, actually two of em, so what better to do, than to turn one into this beauty. It took some time to find the rest of the necessary parts. Once I had everything, it was off to GAP for the build. I believe the serial number (321560) is actually within the proper range of the M40/M40A1. At least if you go by Senich’s book.

too bad, but it has always been a “safe queen”. I do pull it out once in awhile. Never have fired it. Heck, with the price I’ve seen some of the parts go go for, I might just part it out.

Anyone know what the value of this rifle might be if left complete????

Thanks, Greg

As much as I'd love for that stock to hit the PX, it seems like parting it out would be iffy. Dunno. Throw it on Gunbroker for 7500. Or get some Krylon and work on making it look truly authentic. They weren't built to be beautiful.

That rifle deserves to be shot. It was made to spread the seeds of freedom. And parting that out would be like parting out a shiny new Ferrari that you trailered from the stealership to your garage.
