A friend willed this one to me. Returned stock complete with bottom metal. 6 digit receiver. Scope is the old Weaver T10.
I'm sorry about your friend. You must be a best friend. That's a nice looking rifle.
Thank you. We served in the same unit, retired from the same company... friendship spanning close to 50 years. We even live 2 miles from each other
So, this has probably been answered somewhere in the thread and or forum. But i had a topscrew mount now corrected to bottom screw. How does scope leveling and scope ring torquing work? Any suggestions? I literally got it back an hour before i had to leave on a trip.
If you’re talking about a Transitional build, with Redfield SA700 base and Med. under screw rings, here’s the thread you need in Vintage Sniper:
Redfield scope rings and base, tacked?

I hope so! That “April 1st pre orders available” though…..
They have been talking about it for several years... hopefully they are really doing it!MST-100 (Limited Run) | US Optics

This real?

Talked to their production manager like 2 years ago and he said no way they would do a run again. One guys opinion though and given the less than widespread use of their optics this might be a ploy to get people talking uso again.
If they do do this run and it's not an April 1st joke (i don't think they are popular enough to screw with people like that. For their sake I hope they aren't) i wonder if we can convince them to refurbish ones we already have. I got an old return I'd like run through them with seals replaced and a fresh charge of possible.

Now that you mention it I do remember hearing about them a while back. Appreciate that.
15 days early doesn't sound plausible for a joke. Day before April 1st or on April 1st....yeah I'm a stupid asshole....you got me. If sales guys are fucking with customers 15 days early. Boss might be like get back to work boys.
Plus there's been a scope sign up list thread for a while now.
Yeah, I doubt it’s a joke. The interest thread on here is different though, it wasn’t through USO. Now they could have gauged interest off of the thread for sure.
This is 100% real!
I just got a call out of the blue from USO, because I called several years ago and my name was put on a list of interested people.
They are making 100 units available on a first come first serve basis.
They will be made domestically.
Plan on shipping in November.

Perhaps all those repro McMillan M40A1 smear stocks from 2024 drove up demand/inquires for another run of this classic scope?
I think it's great that they are making a batch, and we might have McMillan Fiberglass Stocks to thank for this limited run of scopes.

you must REALLY hate cloning rifles thanI can’t stand when people pull that garbage
Or he likes money…. Can’t imagine why lolyou must REALLY hate cloning rifles than
Is that not the guy who has been know to pawn off TMA Unertl mounts as originals? He has tried to sell the scope and ARD separately before with no takers, now he has combined them.
2/23 Marines SS Plt. in Morocco. I wanna say maybe 2004 or early 2005? I know it was pretty late to still have these in inventory and all the fellas had heard about the mystical A3’s
decent couple shots of some of the equipment also including some makeshift tripods. Don’t recall if the bags were Tactical Tailor or something else.Attachments
It wasn't common, but there were some M40A1's that stayed in the Corps for quite a while after the M40A3's and even the M40A5's were the standard USMC sniper rifle. I was in Fallujah, Iraq feom 2008 to 2009, and we had an A1 as a regional asset that stayed in Iraq. When we ripped with 1/7, they received our regional assets like the 4 XM3's and the single M40A1. So, that A1 was still in active use (one of our older team leaders immediately grabbed it and used it during our deployment) until about 2010 when 1/7's deployment probably ended. I have no idea what happened to it after that.View attachment 8658706

So, there were a few A1's still in use when A3's and A5's were the standard USMC sniper rifle. Thank you for posting those photos, it's pretty rare to see photos of A1's in use after the A3's have been around for many years. Hopefully more photos like these will surface over the coming years.
Glad I could contribute
It’s funny you mentioned that about 1/7. We ripped with 1/9 in Ramadi around that time also.A buddy who was in the platoon later had mentioned that they had moved to another optic, possibly S&B glass on the A1 rifles before moving away from that rig and going to the A3. If I can dig around and find any of my photos or his that reflect that, I’ll post them here. Might be kinda cool if that was in fact the case.
