New McMillan HTG M40A1 smear stocks!!!

[ohiofarmer]

m40a1 mcmillan stock.

@snake31, we might be crossing wires here and I’m not trying to be difficult. McMillan never made bottom metals to my knowledge. What bottom metal was the McMillan stock inletted for? What bottom metal do you have on hand?

 

[snake31]

its a winchester model 70 bottom metal for the new htg smear stocks

Posting pics will help us help you, and prevent the back and forth. Off the cuff, sounds like it needs a finish inletting and bedding.

 

[snake31]

yea i was just piddling around just to get an idea as to what it would look like with the action screwed in to the stock. i havent had mine built yet as im still waiting for the lugged scope mount before i send her off to be built. and thats when i realized that the screws weren't able to reach the action threads. so maybe thats the issue..it needs to be professionally inletted before it will screw in right.

How flush is the bottom metal to the stock when you fit it in there?

 

[snake31]

its perfectly flush. it couldnt get any more perfect honestly.

Where did you purchase it from?

 

[snake31]

ptg

Probably just needs longer bolts or they possibly packed the wrong ones with it

 

[snake31]

do you know what length of screw is needed for the front and back?

 

[Jrb572]

do you know what length of screw is needed for the front and back?

I will have to pull my A1 apart to measure them

 

[Jrb572]

Looks like front is 1.222 long thread
Rear 1.597

 

[Coejro]

@snake31 i have extras that should work. Will shoot you a side message, cover shipping and they’re yours. They’re the longer ones with the bolt head sitting proud.

 

[snake31]

looks like somebody got them a nice m1a smear on mcmillan. really wish more of these would come around.

I saw that yesterday. I tried to add it to my cart and got an error message. Then it was gone from the listing page when I refreshed.

I’m glad someone else noticed it. I thought I might have seen a mirage. These Smear Stocks do funny things to a man’s mind. I did snag the HTG Urban Smear on Saturday. Since it’s not any true clone correct stock, I can just build it out with my excess M40xx parts pile.


There is/was an M40A3 MOD1 also. It had the deep hook in the buttstock. Not my thing, but it seemed like an odd variation.




ETA: I just checked McM site. That’s a new one. So that’s two this week.

Since it’s not any true clone correct stock

Edit FIX - M70 contour McMillan stocks, not HTG’s are correct.

 

[Skunk]

It is clone correct for an FBI-M40A1. They still used Unertl and were built by the 2112 for them. This picture isnt the correct stock but they do exist.

Edit here a better one

You got that backwards, HomeSkillet. The FBI rifles were in M70 contour McMillan stocks, not HTG’s.

If anyone is looking there's a big hook A4 for DD Ross bottom metal on McMillan's site right now, plus a couple inletted for M5 DBMs as well

I just listed a M40A1 smear in the Accessories for sale section if anyone is looking

 

[Belvedere]

Thanks again gents! Snagged that A4 for my early A3 build. It'll go along with the contract barrel I got from Stevo. Seems like eons ago.

 

[RIGREG]

There’s still an A4 M40A3 Mod 1 for DBM on page 2 if you’re showing 12 items per page.

 

[Coejro]

Yeah, I think that one’s dwelling because it’s inlet for M5 bottom metal, not DD Ross

 

[Overwatch260]

There's another big hook A4 Mod 1 stock for DD Ross bottom metal on the site as of a few minutes ago if anyone else is looking for one

 

[Belvedere]

Now to just start collecting all the DD Ross access. Lol.
