Pachmeyer Lo-Swing mounts ought to go well with a Bushnell that has the Command Post reticle. Model 70 only- AFAIK.

Mo,
There are certain privileges granted certain citizens due to certain circumstances. I know that is a bit vague but it is as best an answer as I can supply. My specific study area was initially...

As per the DOD central registry, the rifle is/was USAF (United States Air Force) property. Scarce none the less but not USMC. Interesting to note as with most 6xxxxxx rifles, the scope is matte...

Johnny,
The mount pictured in Senich's book is really a test / trials type set up with only a few made. It was made for a post war action. Most NV mounts were shop made on an individual basis. I...

Jim,
Glad you were able to confirm with Maj. Land. The subject is actually quite interesting and even includes some iron sighted standard configuration 70s making confirmed 1000 yd kills. I have no...

C. E. Lauer (sp) was the gent who built them, the Model 70s at Albany. As far as he was concerned he built them all. At the time Albany was the East coast "PWS" using today's terminology, since you...

Go talk to Miller or read Senich "The One Round War" page 90. Land has made comment about the Bushnell and how dificult it was to mount. Senich in other volumes has written the same. Senich and...

There were 10 Van Orden rifles shipped to the USMC in different configurations for test and evaluation in 1952. These are listed as such in the Van Orden records. The rifles are not all listed as...

CRP: Competition Rifle Program (PWS today)
LTI: Limited Technical Inspection, viewed the scope and made sure it was still a scope, had glass and a reticle.

The scope is part of the 3rd contract...

Would love to have it but alas. Have a sister rifle from the same small contract run, also a team gun but in its original trim. It would take an uninletted early smear pattern stock as the Corps was...

Check that serial number location, details man, details. That rifle was built for Gunny by the RTE shop now PWS upon his retirement. Built out of a post 64 Winchester Model 70 .308 National...

30cal,
you are correct in the "transitional" state of the M40 to M40A1 as the M40A1 was a weapon system before the Unertl 10x and Unertl base was adopted. Much as the M40A3 was a system in...

More than the first 200 were clip slotted. As a matter of fact all were clip slotted from the original contract to include the 600k serial numbered rifle just sold on CMP. There have been a few...

Not to pick at the rifle as it is a good representative build up, but the clip slotting is incorrect for an M40 or a 40x. The left hand rail is the wrong length as is the bevel. The eyebrow cuts are...

It has a daylight filter, during day use it is not very clear because of the filter, the reticle is a simple "T".

Chuck,
It is a beast and probably the reason the Corps ended up not fielding a Night vision supported bolt rifle until the simrad came along beyond experimental units.

Dan,
The scope is an...

Yes Dan, you win the picture of the rifle in the above posts! :icon_lol:

Here it is. An adaptor to use an AN/PVS 1 on an M40. The two lower holes in the side plates line up for either Short or Long action....

no, not for an m2

you are very warm.

a little mount, shop built/machined not cast, there was more than one made and it adapts an _________ to an __________.

Marty,
The "trials" in my post refers specifically to the suppressor trials/testing and night vision mounting trials/testing rifles not to the initial "trials" rifles pre procurement. The Army, the...

The amazing thing is the receiver is over $4500.00. I guess someone thinks it is something. Possibly an M40. A FOIA check of the DOD central registry shows the gun was Air Force Property. Something...

The M24 is indeed and has always been marked M24 on the receiver just aft of the Remington mark.
