Firearms Awesome M40A1 on Unique Smear Stock

[kft101]

Not mine, and got nothing vested in this, but in case anyone is looking for a very nice M40A1 build with a (looks like commercial) smear stock and CMP Unertl 10X:

SOLD - Rare M40A1 USMC Sniper Rifle

10/16/20 - This is a rare and interesting M40A1 USMC "clone" sniper rifle, likely dating to the 1980s. It has the rare "smear", "finger painted" McMillan fiberglass stock. The original owner's family reports it was initially built by Seely Masker, a then extremely well-known custom rifle...

If I didn't already have a couple of A1s in the closet, I would've snagged it myself. The price is good considering the parts, and it's got a very unique smear pattern.

If it were a return stock that would be a great snag. Would make an fun range rifle.
I wonder if the action has the correct cut for the lug.

Kinda out of the norm for Legacy to have something like this listed. Their name carries a good bit of weight in the collectors market. Legacy having it listed dones the clone market good in general.

Considering the attention to details whoever built the rifle put into it, I’d be surprised if it was not properly clip slotted as well. But anyone interested in it could always confirm with Legacy Collectibles, I guess.

If I had used one of these in combat it might be something that I would drop $8500 on for sentimental reasons. The Corp and the other branches should give the troops the option of buying their weapons when they get back sorta like the ww2 guys and earlier with war trophies.

If this one was one that made it out as a whole rifle, action, scope, stock, and all... I guess you could put a 1, 2, maybe even a 3 in front of the 8 and it would sell.
