Re: M40A3 Build

Very nice. I've spoken with Marc on the phone. He gives a nice discount to active military/LEO. He's a no nonsense type of guy. I just received the same barrel from Kreiger a few weeks ago. Make sure to post some more pictures when he's finished with it.

 

[Northland]

Re: M40A3 Build

Yea Marc is a good guy for sure! That goes without saying!

That's actually a Schnieder m40 contract barrel.

Re: M40A3 Build

What kind of EFR is that?

I'm waiting on my base as well...and waiting on my 6 digit 700 action to go with it

 

[Northland]

Re: M40A3 Build

PGW EFR.

Why are you waiting for a 6 digit?

 

[lw8]

Re: M40A3 Build

Because shipping takes a couple of days...


Seriously though, just bc I found it for a song. I was just looking for a 700 and stumbled on a LNIB 700 that happened to be an older 700 with a 6 digit serial #.

Re: M40A3 Build

BTW...if you don't mind, where did you find that EFR?

Re: M40A3 Build

I knew that Schneider is the spec barrel for the build. I just meant I ordered the same profile (M40 #7 MTU) from Kreiger and just received it.

 

[Northland]

Re: M40A3 Build

I ordered the rail from PGW.

Here's a picture of the rail installed.

My bad, I have two Kriegers on my other guns and they are laser man. But I have the MTU's and they're pretty huge, no doubt.

Re: M40A3 Build

Thanks, I was just curious since I called them previously and kinda got the vibe they didn't want to do individual sales...contract only.

 

[Northland]

Re: M40A3 Build

I didn't have any issues with ordering it, other than them being out of stock for awhile and had to wait.

Re: M40A3 Build

Sweet. You definitely have to show the finished product!

And that's exactly what I'm thinking about doing next.

How did you get the stock inlet for the DD Ross bottom metal?

 

[Northland]

Re: M40A3 Build

I'll put some pictures up when it's finished for sure.

Tell Mcmillan you want it for a DD Ross bottom metal

Re: M40A3 Build

Build an A5 out of it, the mag system and suppressor are the way to go!!

Re: M40A3 Build

My CDI lugged base showed up today. I boxed up all the parts and it'll be on it's way to Spartan Rifles soon!

 

[M24_SWS]

Re: M40A3 Build

Looks like you will have a very nice rifle once its complete. I had GAP build me a M40A3 except it has the steel floorplate version which was used before the DBM system. Cant wait to get mine.

Looking forward to seeing the finished project.

 

[Northland]

Re: M40A3 Build

So you have a DD Ross like me...?

 

[M24_SWS]

Re: M40A3 Build

You talking about the base?

 

[M24_SWS]

Re: M40A3 Build

If you are talking about the scope base then im not sure if its a DD ross base or not.

 

[Northland]

Re: M40A3 Build

No the bottom metal, I don't have a DBM

 

[M24_SWS]

Re: M40A3 Build

I believe mine is the DD Ross steel floorplate.

 

[Northland]

Re: M40A3 Build

I have DBM on some of my other guns but still like top loaders for some reason. How long till you get your gun?

Re: M40A3 Build

Re: M40A3 Build

Does Marc Soulie have a website?

 

[Northland]

Re: M40A3 Build

Marc's website can be found in my signature, but it's: Spartanrifles.com

He sent me some pictures yesterday of the rifle at his shop. It's complete but just waiting on it to be coated.

 

[Northland]

Re: M40A3 Build

Rifle showed up today! It's outstanding work!! Pictures and range tomorrow.

Dealing with Marc was a pleasure! Awesome guy to do business with and he builds a damn good rifle!

We'll see if this thing shoots straight tomorrow...

You'll be glad you did! Now this thing needs some spray paint and I need to put my simrad cap. But I need longer screws for it.

Re: M40A3 Build

Thanks Luke I'm glad you like it! Post up some new pics of your paint job and some of the accuracy results.
