Damn that is a sweet little rig, if you dont mind me asking how long did it take to get and how much did it set you back?

AlabamaShooter, It took about 3 years and was $2,300+ barrel thread and thread protector.

Whew you have more patience than me, great looking rifle. I was going to get a M40A3 from TBA but went with a different smith. Congrats on the build.

Very pretty and probably worth the long wait. Your daughter may have been waiting half her life for it to arrive!! I'm wondering whether the action is fully bedded or what?

Re: TBA M40A1-22LR
Wow, three years! It looks more than worth it. I will be sticking with my .308 version for now.

Ruger 77/22 action / McM M40A1 fully bedded / Krieger M24/M40 contour.
My littlest girl is 6yrs old. She has consistently asked about it since the day it was ordered. Even though its too big for her, I'll get her behind it and let her try to wear it out. We'll get action photos soon.

Re: TBA M40A1-22LR
Jeez, 3 freakin years!!! I was going to have a M40A1 built by them but decided to go with GAP instead, partly because of the long wait time from TBA. What was the quoted wait time from TBA at the time that you placed your order?

Nice rifle.
What are mounting on the barrel? 5/8-24 is what my .30 cal can takes. Think most .22 cans are 1/2-28

Re: TBA M40A1-22LR
Bachelor Jack, I'll take a few close pics tomorrow .
Scout1, Mike said it would only take about 3 months, but I knew it'd be awhile.
deersniper, You are correct 1/2-28 --- 5/8-24 was a mistake. I corrected the post. Thanks!

Re: TBA M40A1-22LR
Great looking rifle! Was there a particular reason it took 3 years as opposed to the estimate given of 3 months?

Re: TBA M40A1-22LR
So it's basically a Ruger 77/22 in a McM M40 stock with picatinny rail screwed to the top of the action. Is the barrel threaded to the receiver or clamped as standard? Is any part of the barrel bedded or just the action? If McM offered this inlet for their stocks I'm thinking they'd sell a few.

Re: TBA M40A1-22LR
what is the performance like? Assuming impressive with a price tag like that. Looks dang schweet though!

I also have three TBA builds. One each in 308, 260, and 6XC. I guess it helps to be able to hound him in person. None of mine went over 3 months. LOL
