Re: M40a1 build guide
Harris on HTG and witchita swivels-
It may have been something I heard here on the hide or somewhere else but I heard some Marines early in Iraqi freedom still using the A1 actually cut the loop off the witchita stud and fitted a harris bipod to that stud. It was maybe a few Marines and not a common thing I belive I heard. I don't know if that little clamp on the harris units would fit the witchita stud but maybe it would. I'm not recomending it as a solution, I would hate to ruin a good swivel like that.
BTW I heard of a return stock being sold for $1100-that's insane!
Unless at least half that money goes to Wounded Warriors or Marine Corp Families or some other affiliated organization, no way should someone pay that for a well beat stock! Returns are cool either way though for the history and "battle scars" but objectively speaking its "good" condition at best, its a helluva lot of money even for a McStocky!
