I Thought that I would share a project that I have been working on. I am working on a M40 Clone too but I still need one part for the M40... so for now... here is the M40A1 clone.
I may never to be able to find the "correct" scope (Unetrl 10x) so for now this project is done. I may put a S&B, Nightfore, or USO scope on it if I cannot get the MST-100. For now it will wear a Weaver 10x Mildot.
Specs:
Stock- McMillan 100% original "early smear" stock with matching number
bottom metal.
Stock was bedded to the action by Ronnie Morris (Match Service Works). Mr. Morris also reparked the bottom metal for me.
Correct MRT 1986 USGI sling.
Action- Correct six digit (221,xxx)Rem 700 action, clip slotted by
G.A.Precision.
Trued and chambered
Correct stamps: RTE-P (Rifle Team Equipment-Proofed), US Stamped
above serial number, bolt and recoil lug numbered.
Barrel is the correct length but it is a Rock 5R threaded 5/8 X 24 but still
has a thread protector with USMC crown. I had the smith put a
Badger Thruster Tactical Compensator on it for now.
He does build "other options" .

For now it has a Badger Ordnance 20MOA mount with "issued
item" Badger M40A3 rings. I have the correct Unetrl mount and rings on
the way and will add them if/when I find the correct scope.
A few pics. I hope to range test it this weeknd if possible.
