Stock
All our M40A3s are based on the A4 Tactical Riflestock, a high-quality benchrest-style McMillan™ Fiberglass Stock and cast molded in an OD Green color. The action is glass bedded into the stock with aluminum pillars, while the barrel is allowed to "float" (it is attached only to the action), ensuring maximum accuracy. The stock has adjustable length-of-pull (through a buttstock spacer system) and an adjustable saddle-type cheekpiece.
Dayscope
Leupold Mark IV LR/T 4.5-14X 50mm rifle scope will replace the MST-100 Unertl type fixed 10x day scope currently used for the M40A3. The dayscope is mounted with Badger Ordnance Maximum scope rings, with a standard ring in the rear and a wider MAX50-brand ring in front, to allow for the mounting of a Badger Ordnance ringcap (enabling the mounting of SIMRAD add-on night vision devices).
Triggerguard
The Badger Ordnance BDM Triggerguard is a heavy-duty guard like their M4 triggerguard but allows quick loading/unloading via a bullet proof 5 round magazine utilizing a time proven Paddle style magazine release. The guard includes grade 5 TORX® screws and pre-made pillars to guarantee exact fit and perfect function. Made from Aircraft grade Aluminum and Hardcoat anodized black.10 Round magazines available.
Weapon
The M40 Sniper weapon system was developed and used by the United States Marine Corps. The M40 is based on a Remington 700 action that is extensively hand modified by U.S. Ordnance gunsmiths using the best components from multiple suppliers. The length of the barrel was determined from extensive accuracy, velocity and flash suppression testing by the USMC. Test reports indicate the average life of the Schneider barrel is over 10,000 rounds while still holding minute of angle groups at 600 yards.
