Very glad to see my bases getting put to use. Several builders are now using my bases for their M40A1 Projects. I am considering doing a 1" SIMRAD CAP again. Anyone interested?
I may be interested. Been trying to hold out for an original, but have had no luck.

M40A1 Guidline pricing question ...
PWS built M40A1 with M40A1 scope base, stamped gunbook, insured shipping.
I looked at GA Precisions website. I think GAP builds the highest quality M40A1s on the market and it looks like this is what they go for.
GA Precision quality M40A1 rifle $3700 + shipping
GA Precision charges M40A1 shipping $75
M40A1 replica scope base $415
M40A1 USMC issued gun book $50-$140 (depends on where you buy it)
That is $4330 total.
Plus the value of a PWS built item carries a premium and NO WAIT TIME. My question is, is the rifle priced out of the market or is it just that people rarely spend that kind of money on them?
Here is a interesting auction to watch
Civilian Marksmanship Program - Promoting firearms safety training!
Based on other CMP auctions and the provenance I'm guessing it will pass $20K
That Punisher touch will appeal to the collectors.
M40A1 slings. In my experience they were used very little and mostly stayed in the protecto kaddy. We used 550 cord slings. Feild expediant slings that were looped through the front sling swivel and around our wrist. Leather slings were left in the hard cases. I cannot ever remember using one with my m40a1. I may have but not often
Is a picture possible describing what you are talking about? (ya know, the type worth 10k words ) I believe I know what you are talking about but curious the length and utilization.
Thanks,

...aka the brown turd.
There was an E series action with trigger in the WTS section last week. It was priced right and would be appropriate for your build. Came with a proper trigger you would need to get notched for the Model 70 bottom metal.
Looking forward to pics of the build.
Be safe on the boat always remember soap should be on a rope.
It's not that kind of boat . I'm a towboat captain. Shower is only big enough for one.
Butt you know about "that kind of boat"?.......hmmmmm.
Im not judging, just saying Captain.

Enjoy!
Damn any of those for sale?
Been looking to finally start my m40a1 build have most of the parts located but still can't seem to find 2 parts the unertl mount and the modified m70 bottom metal anybody know anyplace that makes or sells these two parts
Great looking rifles.
I just revisited this thread and thought I'd post a couple pics from last year's deer hunt. If the rifle didn't shoot so well, I'd consider finding another scope for it, but the old Leupold does well.
