That is TacticalRifles.Net,
he is a scammer who tried to sue me and the site and claims I was not a USMC Sniper.
it's good it's gone, I buried TacticalRifles, now his other site needs to go too
He is a leech on the community

DAMN! And I thought that it was just a forum for M40 rifle discussions. THANKS for the head's up.
No M40Rifle.com still exists.
Was on it last night and there is a fresh question regards the security warning.
Apparently the mod needs to update their license.
There is some great info on M40Rifle and I like that place but Im not risking it on important machines.
I only go there now on my pornhub computer, the one with the cloudy screen.
M40Rifle has nothing to do with TR rifles. Sad that guy is still a thing. Lots of people take advantage of peoples desires. Got a guy at my gun club that absolutely beats off about his "just like the USMC" M40s. He just bought another of these "exact" builds. They are ed Brown rifles built off post 64 Winchester actions in textured McMillan stocks. Nice rifles but far from exact.

Looks like I will have to miss out for a while lol
Glad to know that the site is not connected to that Tactical Rifles fuccface.
I don't know about any of what you said, I do know there were lots of good people I contacted and helped me on M40rifle.com, lots of good info and I learned a lot in this last year when I joined it. In fact that site got me interested in M40 rifles and started me in another direction to add to my other firearm interests.
Nothing to celebrate on my end. Its sounds pretty bad about your dealings with whoever ran it and the slandering of your service record as a Marine Sniper.
I'd be a bit pissed myself if I'd worn your boondockers.

Different entities.
TR Rifles is a mess and would sue anyone and everyone for the crime of making honest reviews of his "craftsmanship". He sells a "clone" M40 that is - well- Id say but i dont want to get sued.
Call sign M40A5 I think runs M40rifle.com. Seems like a good dude. I think he is a USMC Hog. I think he hails from Canada. I think M40Rifle is a hobby and real life is keeping him busy these days.
About six months ago the site was about dead, it was talked about, someone must of got hold of him, and everything was refreshed so it started to come back....that was about the time you joined or thereabouts.
Someone will probably get hold of him on the job site and he will renew his license.
Unsure if he makes any money on the site, Id say more labor of love. He has some ads but all the poster are the same few nerds posting great info on out dated rifles.
I joined early when it just got going. It's a wonderful site for not only M40 series rifles but other series as well.
I would post more there except that being former Army I just didn't have much to add. We certainly, back in my day, ever handled any M40-type rifle unless you went to the school, or in my case, run the training from the S-3 standpoint, that involved Marines coming down and doing an MTT for us.
The thing I remember most during a joint operation/training was the M40A1 with the Unertl scope. Other things were just glimpses...like standing in the chow line and asking, "what's that?"

Was TR.net M40RIfles.net or did he use the forum too
Rooney has a fake M40 business, it might be under .Net

Rooney never made it there and his rifles would have been ridiculed.
That M40-66 he puts out is an abomination.
Www.m40rifle.com is run by a Hog. There is some crossover here, @Skunk, @sandwarrior, @Raven 6 , @deltawiskey , generally fans of old outdated rifles that still shoot well.
Good site. You would have a lot to add regards actual field use of the A1.
Trust me Rooney had an M40 site to sell rifles he made,
It may have been .Net or something but he shifted gears after the lawsuit to having women front the company when TR took a backseat after all the bad press.
It may been short-lived, but it was there

Im on an IPad and the sight is showing up without the security warning fine. Anyone trying to get on can use Apple gear I guess.
Looks like only thing there is archives no new posts. Guessing members are abandoning it again.

I just went back on my windows pc and it is up and running fine now, no warnings to scare the pussies like me off lol
I feel bad for guys that by those M40-66 rifles.
He pumps them up like they are Clone copies.
Buyers come to an enthusiast thread exited about their exact M40s and ended up finding out different.......shame.

Ya, not too long ago a cop who was a former USMC Sniper guy bought one, because, well, advertising. And Rooney was slaying me to the guy so much so he did a Hog Check on me because he believed Rooney's bullshit.
He is a piece of shit

He does indeed. Living in the same state as he does, I get email ads sometimes. I don’t think that I saved any of them or I’d post one up.
Rooney deffinitely has nothing to do with www.m40rifle.com . Ill defend that site, its a good place. My second fave.
.net was Rooney.

There is a TR for sale at my local gun shop... It is very tempting to buy it just to have some fun ripping on it.
But I bought a SCAR instead.
Sirhr

Maybe share a crayon with ya. Certainly not an MRE...I let you have the whole thing.
My wife is pissed that every time my guard friend ends up with MREs they have to dispose of they end up at my house.
After throwing away three cases and for the next three weeks every time she looked at me thunder clouds appeared in the room she knows not to touch the stockpile.
Listening to how the Baloney Virus crowd is tightening the screws more on food shopping she may come to appreciate MREs in the near future.
on the TR story,
i bought one of his rifles 2007 +/- when he first started out, R700 AICS 1.5.
I felt i was out shooting the R700 PSS 26" barrel at that point in time, plus now that i know the difference the trigger was about 7-8 pounds and crunchy.
but back then i was really into mil stuff so triggers and the finer points of rifles were never even considered.
I used him because there was $4-500 off the price if you sent in your own action and was dying for a AI style rifle, and didnt want to spend on a real AI (since then i have changed my mind lol)
GAP was really the only other guy in town close to that price point if you were new to buying customs like i was/no help or knowledge from friends or family, and his stuff was like $1000 more...then add the rebate.
Internet/ options/ knowledge wasnt as available as it is now, i think the big site back then was snipers paradise or alike that was just a list of threads with no real search or delineation of topics old school yellow black graphics).
that original rifle is a proper rifle, although you cant mess up bedding in a chassis etc. and if you cant chamber a 308 to shoot a SMK you should just sell your mill and lathe.
still shoots 1/2" 5 shots with FGMM when i take it out now and then, but again its a R700 with a Krieger 4 groove so it should.
then somewhere down the line it all went to shit and morphed into the disaster/
if i remember his daughter got sick or needed surgery in NC (cant believe this is coming back to me as im writing) maybe 2010-11, communications stopped.
my gut says the tires fell off the wagon at that time, and its been down hill since.

My friend bought a TR 300 win mag rifle. On top of the scope base being mounted backwards, the rifle couldnt hold a zero.
I went to grab it to check the scope and grabbed the barrel first and felt a clunk, moved my hand and the barrel was wiggling.
My friend was about 5 rounds away from 300 win mag blowing up in his face.
The threads on the barrel looked like they were cut with rusty soviet union military surplus plumbing tools and the slop was removed by throwing fucking kitty litter in the threads.

This is the only site I feel is relevant and my M40 clone consists of a Kelblys Atlas Tac action In 65 Creedmoor with a Bartlien 7.5" twist M24 profile finished at 23" in a Greyboe M5 that I had to inlet for the action, cut out the ejection port and side bolt release and then bedded for full action support and 1.5" or barrel.
There are many more on here with true M40 rifles but I refuse to conform or use HS precision garbage and feel mine is superior but I'm a jackass and go my own way.

I have a Winchester Model 70 in a pink cockstock with a Tasco scope......... despite what anyone tells me it's an M40.
Sad to say but he got me, and I lost several thousands and actually had to use the Florida Attorney General Pam Bondie to make him cough up a rifle and scope. Still pissed after all these years, and his site is still hustling.
Like I said there are many here with more skill and knowledge than myself that know what works and aren't dettered by nostalgic ideals.
Rock what you got and don't look back

What does HS Precision have to do with M40?
You don't even know what you speak against and your coming here to comment.
Than you tell us about your nonconformist gun that pretty much conforms to 90 percent or more of the rifles on here which really marks you as a rebel.
Did you get your rifle from Tactical Rifles per chance?

Not a rebel I just know what I like and don't like.
The HS precision legacy I know I don't like based on thier endorsement of shit bag FBI agents that should have been burned out of thier hide for thier decisions for shot opportunities they took.
But that's just my opinion and doesn't mean jack shit in the big picture.
We all choose diff3rent based on what we like or dislike and I am no different, if that's something you choose who gives a shit what a turd like me thinks.
Wasn't trying to ruffle any feathers just say that we all have different ideas of what is optimal and in the end they all work for the indevidual.
Make a knowledgeable comment or criticism than that's legit but mentioning M40 series rifles in conjunction with HS Precision, the FBI or any historical events that are both horrible and distressing just causes one to scratch ones head.
Mark Twain had it right to wit.....Better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
That's a fair statement and I will take it on merit.
They have a solid rifle based on the M40 spec but I haven't ever been a fan of thier products maybe because I have been biased from the people they chose to represent thier products.
Again not trying to influence or bias opinions just a personal thing.
I think you must've missed the fact that this is VINTAGE...you know, old stuff? The original M40 was pretty much gone about 40 years ago. That's why it's vintage. About when Kelbly just got started even making actions, and later the model you "rock". This whole forum is about "looking back" and using what we had back when.Like I said there are many here with more skill and knowledge than myself that know what works and aren't dettered by nostalgic ideals.
Rock what you got and don't look back
With what you have, you would make valid posts in "Bolt Action Rifles". Where more modern Bolt action rifles are discussed.
I think your right on the money with that one I'm still a young buck and just turned 47 a couple of days ago.
I meant no disrespect just know what I like in the short years I've been stealing oxygen and what has proven effective for me.
You guys are allways a wealth of knowledge for me and I listen and learn but like allways bring my own baggage to the table.
Like I said no disrespect intended just an opinion.
The rem 700 was something some years ago but has become a turd in the punch bowl compared to what we have now and I don't feel bad about saying it.
Costing on success never really pans out when your being outclassed and outgunned in every possible way but who really cares If your stuck in the past.
As far as that goes my beloved Kelbly Atlas is in the dust compared to an AI actio.n but I don't really give a shit
Yes and no. With a good smith that you can work with, truing up a 700 is still one of the easiest actions to get shooting right. Barrels always make the biggest difference in accuracy. The "turd in the punchbowl" comes from people who want a 700 action to come right out and be as accurate as a custom. It takes money, time, and a good smith. So, in a lot of cases, guys would rather pay a little more for a custom. That takes more money, time, and a good smith.
FWIW, I'd take your Kelbly, the way you set it up, long before I'd ever pay the money for an AI.
Do you realize that "M40" is the military base designation for the most prolific USMC sniper rifle series, and that you can't call anyone to build you a real one because only the Marine Corps makes them?
Do you realize that your rifle has nothing in common with an M40-anything other than they are both rifles?
Do you realize that even though you think your rifle is a clone of an M40 (which variant, BTW?), it isn't?
Do you realize that HS Precision stocks have never, EVER been used by the Marine Corps to build any model of the M40 rifle?
Do you realize that you simply don't know what you're talking about in the context of this thread?
Ill run my "turd" 700 against your boutique action any day.
Checking zero prior to a Sig Sauer class....
15 rounds checking zero at start of Sig Sauer class....
One of the excercises, two shooters partner up, ammo is placed 20-30 yards from shooters. At go shooters have to run to get ammo, at 100 yards acquire a card to shoot (card images are 1/3 size a real card), 5 shots total alternating between shooters, best hand wins.
I shot first so I had to make three shots. I shot the Aces, My partner shot the other cards (.224 holes, 8 diamond while aiming for Ace diamond and 2 Spade while aiming for Ace spade). We actually got high hand with three aces.......
I couldnt ask that "turd" Remington to be more dependable or consistent even under a little pressure.
Its not an M40 by the way......
This is an M40 with a fake scope.....
300 yards using a 1.4 MOA reticle hold, trying to find a consistent spot on the target frame as point of aim, 20 shots....
This is an M40A1....
This is a fun exercise to put your turd through at 100 yards...
4 attempts on each tag, Ill take those scores....
This is not an M40 its in .223 caliber.....
Typical groups for this turd....
Note there is no HS Precision involved in any of this.....perhaps you mistake M24 for M40. There is no "FBI" involved in either M24 or M40.
47 is not a young buck, you are in your prime. Go forth and shoot well.

And when pmclaine's done with his excellent shooting "turd" collection, I'll bring out a couple of my "turds" to finish and seal the deal.
This my M40 clone turd in .223, 2nd time out ,new barrel.
This ones the M40 clone turd in .308. 100 yards, pulled a couple but I'll take it. 1st time out.
You can figure this one out I would think......................

I must say completely unhumbly that I was drinking and talking sideways out of my ass.
That's no excuse and I don't need or deserve one.
I was being being a jackass plain and simple.
I would however be honored to run my boutique rifle against those fine examples you have shown in your post.
You don't seem like the type that gives a rats ass if I admit my stupidity but just smoothing out my asshattery for my own carma
Frank your rifle in the bottom of the pick looks very close to what mine looks like but yours is defiantly more refined much like @pmclaine rifle.
I'm still trying to work out ergonomics and really need an adjustable cheek rest or pad, also need to quit being lazy and add some texturing front and back.
Im sure you and your rifle shoot well just commenting Remington is not the excuse for bad performance though.
Sure my guns have been massaged to get performance but when it comes down to it, the name on the receiver matters less than the name on the barrel, assuming both are screwed on by a competent person.
That said Ill take Dicks Sporting Goods Special R700 before Id take a TR rifle.
The bigger butt hurt on my part is your confusion regards what an M40 is.
Its not cutting edge tech for sure and in the case of the A6 I fail to feel an attraction.
Truth be told A3 on they start to lose that "Gunfighter" aspect that a historical romantic like me appreciates.
Its the history and the people that carried the M40 that matter, not the technology.
and I dont care what organized crime orgs carried in my name. I care that the USMC carried them.

I have a couple of more primitive solutions, I have two stock packs that are just Velcro straps with a pouch for adding foam even some with a convex cutout contour and I can use foam and tape if needed.
The stock is actually pretty comfortable from a bench but prone and some positions off hand starts to show it's ass if I'm not on the money with head position.
I'm still a bit a noob though in my opinion but surprise myself occasionaly.
That's pretty much my point calling out myself for being a jackass
Its not about the tech but the history behind the system and those that ran it.
One of my all time favorites was a rem700 in 308win that was smooth as butter and dropped alot of animals.
