HSRC? Yes I had an OD for my Ross build back in the early 2000’s. Id love to find another. The tac ops bags were good but not an HSRC drag bag.
M40A1 or M40A3 or M40A5

Ahhh. Thanks.
I have no idea what model case/bag it is. The swat team I was on in AL was throwing it away. I said, “uhhhh, nope. I’ll take it.”
Here's an interesting picture of a M40A5 with a Nightforce. Probably a Mk13 Mod 7 scope?
Definitely interesting. I cant recall right now the end of the A5 and start of the Mod7 but I didnt think they were in service at the same time to have this crossover.
I should have included its from the USMC Shooting Team Instagram, so probably a modern one-off, but cool to see.
Yup, the Marine Corps Shooting Team has some interesting rifles. Such as this one, where it looks like they used one of the first McMillan M40A3 A4 stocks with the large butt hook and turned it into an M40A5 for usage.
It might be the 5-25x56 ATACR, it appears to have a capped windage knob with the cap removed. The turret markings are also the same. Some Marines uses the old NF NXS on A3's, but but since this is a shooting team A5, they would want the newest, best stuff, so the new 5-25x ATACR's make sense. I could be wromg, so if someone has other information, please correct me. I don't know the shooting team guns like I do the rest of the M40xx series.
Here's something most people don't know. Since that's a USMC shooting team M40A5, more than likely it's chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, not 7.62x51.
Here's a contract overrun USMC NightForce Mil-Spec ATACR 5-25x56 scope on my Mk13 Mod 7. Notice how it has the same features as the scope in the other photo.
Compare that with a NF Mil-Spec NXS 3.5-15x50. Obviously they had different turret markings on the NXS series, but the scope in the photo looks like it's an ATACR.
Are there any photos floating around of the USMC shooting team's M40A6 builds? They actually welded the A6 RACS chassis so that the buttstock can never be shut and so that any other piece that could move no longer does. And the chassis is cerakoted gray, the barreled action is cerakoted a burnt bronze color or something similar. It's an awesome looking rifle!
I am thinking about a M40A5 clone, however, parts are almost impossible to come by in germany.
May i ask you guys about your impression on the GAP rifles? They even offer a M24 clone. I am currently trying to figure out how to get a rifle imported to germany.
If i go that route i need to be sure the rifles are worth the cash. Its impossible for me to gather original parts over here although i would love to do so...

That's what I started doing and it worked very well.
It’s nice because it’s an indicator of consistent hand placement on the gun. You feel that edge hit just right. LolThat's what I started doing and it worked very well.
My problem was sitting there playing with the latch when I was waiting for a stage to start

If I had a quarter for every time I was playing with my latch waiting at the start…
