Marine A5 Sniper, I believe Bsully will be incommunidaco for a while. No dramas, just gone.

Marine A5 Sniper, it's entirely probable that M70s procurred for USMC use came from his establishment just outside the base in Quantico, Va. S/Ns can be checked against his records (they do exist...

Accuracy wise, the one "Zfk55" i've shot wasn't as good as a regular old K31. A most interesting "dedicated" design solution to having cases clear the overbore scope.

Not quite sure about the...

Similar, but different. One is a semiauto, the other WAS a turn bolt.

Actually, MJ1 is right, getting proper forend bedding will help plenty w/ Moisins. Its surprising how much it helps if it wasn't bearing correctly.

Sorry about my last post, there.

Bsully had clued me in to that picture not a week previous, so it was just too funny to pass up.

I thought it best for him to "spill the beans", though!

No...

"Transition" M40? Where?:icon_lol: Oh, I can't stand it! Sorry, BSully!

There is a gent in PA that does them I believe, http://www.gunstockduplicating.com/duplication.html
give him a try.

Main problem: Its too nice for old marine kit. Drag it around and live w/ it outside in Florida monsoon weather for a few weeks and then it ought to look about right.:)

Looks like a super clean M40 stock as well. (Doesn't look like a sanded down ADL stock, but its hard to tell just from the one pic.) Wide swivel loops,too.

There are historians who have gathered fairly extentive listings, but they haven't seen fit to leak that info at this time. Maybe one day!

BigMo, please see Bsully's previous post (#16 in this thread)as to this action's last known gov't issuance. It was USAF property.

I've converted a few police dept. rifles back to non-detachable configuration due to reliability problems. Never heard much good about them.

Your zero won't change (providing the scope is working properly), but your MIL-DOTS will only subtend the right amount at the power setting specified by the manufacturer. If you are aiming w/ the...

I believe the intent is to make an "M40" .22lr "trainer" if you will. I may be mistaken, but that is what I gathered. Converting it to 7.62 centerfire is like converting a Vespa to a V12 Super Boss...

Why did you shoot it if it was dead? Zombie animal attack?:icon_lol:

Suncorite. Not quite the same look, Suncorite is just a matte black. Regardless, it's right for your rifle as orginally converted at H&H. Only the later ones have this finish and its just around the...

I didn't know I HAD Barracks!

It appears to have that odd "crinkly" finish on the receiver that shows up on late No4 Mk1(T) build. I used to think it wasn't original, but Brian Dick says...

French? Reminds me of an FRF-2 (I think).

OK, who wants the next guess?- and no internet searches!

Thanks!
Although apparently an M85 or two DID make it over the big water intact. Hmmm... Phooey! Never mind.

Did Parker-Hale ever make a clone of the Canadian sniper for commercial sales with the same finish and all? Seen a few "shiny" target rifles w/ satin stocks on the internet for sale but that's it.
