Re: Building a USMC M40A3
I've shot a buddy of mine's m40a1. It was a great shooter! I think his best groups were .19-.20 MOA. He waited roughly 18 months for it, that might have been one of the faster turn-around times! The rifle was great though! TBA also did what seemed to be the correct black oxide finish for the A1, though I don't know if that's done anymore as it may be against OSHA or something-(someone in m40a1 build thread mentioned it being hazardous). Rifle was built about 12 years ago when TBA probably were building quite regularly, I don't know what TBA is up to recently. I've heard email is hard to get through. The phone may be difficult as well but if you get someone on the phone they may take your order. In short, from what I've experianced from my freinds rifle, its a classy well finished highly accurate firearm at a good price!! However, getting a build started seems like a sketchy thing over the last few years but this probably is due to demand more than anything else! I hear he does a lot of LE work and as a lot of builders do, he makes LE orders priority.
