Thanks I appreciate your help. I guess the measurement would be the same even though the stocks are from different models?
I would think so. The M40 and the police stocks are identical from what I have seen with the exception of the forearm tip contour, everything else looks the same as far as dimensions go. I don't think there were variations on LOPs ( length of pull ).
My police stock is an almost an exact fit as far as dimensions go. Without the brass pin and the forearm contour I did it would pass for an original IMO. I have seen some M40 stocks a bit on the thin side on the forearm, and some thicker. I don't think they came that way but then again from what I have recently learned the sniper program during Nam was in it's embriotic stage, lots of civilian rifle converts such as soaking/sanding off checkering etc. learn and adapt as you go gear so to speak. I think it became more of a single style rifle production issued to the troops when Remington got into the game.
