Any new or recent source for a M40 stock? I've tried the ADL with pressed checkering route, but even after steaming the checkering out the best I can it takes to much sanding for the proper shape. Suggestions? Anyone know of one for sale? Thanks, Dave.

Re: M40 Stock
I also have them now. Mine are stippled on the grip/forend. Carbon/glass shell with a much stronger/lighter carbon/glass/foam like core material.

If I remember correctly this is a right stock number from gunparts corp.
It'll take a little work in the proper contours but it's about as close as you're gonna get. If you need one I have a few aluminum checkered buttplates

Re: M40 Stock
The stock will not have a tenite tip and forend is not rounded but finished at a rearward angle. Same pattern as the mid to late 80's ADL stock but without cut checkering and with BDL bottom metal cut. Actually the pattern used on the first 700P from 85ish until early 90's and prior to them installing HS's on the 700P. If you want it to look exactly like an M40 stock you will have to reshape forend tip. Also it has a satin finish so then you can remove entire finish job and apply a no gloss oil finish like tung oil.
Here is a 40-X 22RF standard barreled receiver I built.

Re: M40 Stock
No problem, also if you want it just right you would want to also contour the area around the safety, if you need photos let me know.

Re: M40 Stock
Photos would be wonderful, I want to get this right the first time. Again, thanks for your help on this. Strange thing about the stock, when I search "Remington 700 stock" through Numrich, this stock is not listed. I put in the item number and it goes to it.

Re: M40 Stock
On mine the metal of rear tang doesn't fit quite right as the receiver of the 40-X is a 722 based receiver. The tang of the 722 has more depth than the 700/40-XB so the fit isn't perfect.
