Starting My USMC M40 Rifle Project

[gregv]

I apologize in advance, as I'm sure that this is a repeat question, but I can't seem to find the info. anywhere. Anyhow, I finally found my six digit (321,xxx) SA Remington 700 and am ready to start my project. My question is, what barrel is available today, that would be the best match for that rifle? I have looked on both Shilen's and Douglas' websites and don't see a 24" with a .830 dia. at the muzzle. Shilen has a "#17 Remington Varmint (Sendero)" with a .830 dia. at the end of a 28" barrel. It looks like it's also .830 at the 24" mark, so maybe this is it??? Douglas has a "Remington Varmint 007" that has a .830 at 26", but doesn't show what the dia. is at 24". Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Greg V

I would check the M40 thread.

I guess I am too new here. I typed "M40" in the search bar and got 8 pages, with 200 results. I didn't see anything that looked like what I was looking for. Is there an actual M40 forum?

Thanks again, Greg V
