Yeah my bad I thought you were commenting on Lowlights early pic with an A1 showing.
An A3 isnt really a candidate for Triad Pack. Sleeping mat and 90 mile per hour tape are your friend.

The only bad or off topic was mine and was being about half the jackass I was made to be.
The A1 is not the same rifle as mine and not a good comparison.
Mine is more along the lines of a true A5 with no refinements because a noob like me hasn't made enough refinements to get it were it should be.
It's M40A5ish for certain.
Great looking rifle.
Got LRI holding parts from me to build me a M40ish rifle.......walnut stock, bipod rail for attaching an Atlas, 5 digit Remington action, A1 profile barrel, will have LRI DBM using AI mags, Barrel will be Bartlein LH gain twist, intending to run an unused S&B 5-25 PMII.......it defies logic but should be a freak.

A freak indeed that will obviously perform in the hand's of someone that knows the platform.
I would be down to pitting my M40ish M5 6.5 CM against that one.
My load with 147eldm and H4831sc running 2700fps averages about .010" when I hold my own from a bipod and rear bag but obviously can't do that all the time.
Just don't embarrass me to bad, no reservations on my end.
I will give you my best

I love the card game, I’ve shot it twice while attending the class hosted by Ghost Firearms Training in central PA. We were playing 5 card stud so they made us back the scope to 10x so we had to memorize where a royal flush was and shoot it from memory in 30 seconds. That one I was good at and tie breakers were settled with a shoot out walking up the range.
Don’t have an M40 because I prefer the one that should have become the standard, the Pre-64 Model 70.

True that, but Frank's S&B scoped M5 clone is about the window of perfection and I wish mine was set up the same but it wears the Bushnell pretty well.
But I've been wrong allready numerous times in this thread.

Got one in build to represent a VN, Hathcock sniper clone, plan on shooting it at Sig when it's done.
Pretty sure theres a couple dozen guys who wouldnt say remington is a turd last season...except that one dude...
Almost think we should request this Vintage section to become "Vintage/Clone" I think this section of the forum would serve those with questions on more modern service rifles better than the general bolt action section.

I agree. Maybe there should be a "Clone" Military sniper rifle section. Not just limited to vintage. The build guides, information and picture threads can be stickied. Alot of folks don't understand the definition of "clone ". Like when someone posts a picture of an M40A1 and it has flush cups. Nope, get out. Yes, its something that small that immediately denies it being a clone.
There was a clone military rifle section. It was in M40rifle.com.
That sound funny when I said it in my head, but now maybe not so much.
In any case, I’m sure that an M40 clone thread might suffice. It could be in this forum I’d imagine. I think it fits the intent.

I think it should be for all types of clones. All M40 varients, M24, all Mk types, etc. It would make for a bigger better section.
I think i get thre joke lol. Tons of info there but i think 90% of the people are here also with more activity.
And im talking about opening it to all clones. M24s, older ww2 stuff, mk13s, etc. Not just the m40 series (although it is the best series
). Don't think we need a dedicated sub forum but mixing it with vintage would be a good combo.I think i get thre joke lol. Tons of info there but i think 90% of the people are here also with more activity.

I think my 6.5x47 is closer to being in the M40 clone section only because it wears a Schnieder barrel but is still just as far off as my M5 and is not period specific enough to be there.
Hi, this is Dan Eyde. I ordered and worse still paid $5000 for an M40-66 rifle when they said it was ready to ship. I kept in touch with Robert Looney then I got sick and had to have a liver and kidney transplant. The last time I heard anything, the shop had closed up and all the firearms confiscated about a year ago by the local sheriff .Then nothing.. Fortunately I survived, and now I want my rifle and the 2 scopes I provided them. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to get either the rifle or refund. Based on the threads in 2020 it looks like I got hooked and by asking this I rightfully should be given a hard time. I would appreciate your thoughts though..
