I am about done with both projects not and thought that I would share some quick shots.
The 40A1 is “more correct” than the 40. The M40a1 clone is the correct serial number range, GAP clip slotted, all the correct stampings, USO mount & MST-100. I has a Apr ’77 MRT sling and the older trigger with the tall safety.
The M40 is not close but is what it is… A 1980’s PSS in a wood stock that I found on ebay. Redfield 1” tube (non-accurange) Redfield 1-64 rings. 40x Sling swivels with a July 1964 MRT sling.
I have a Leupold USMC M40 Rifle Green scope that I may add to the m40 clone or I may save it for my woodland return build if I cannot find a MST-100.
