*USMC (REMINGTON 700) M40A1 SNIPER RIFLE W/PROPER USMC SCOPE.

*USMC (REMINGTON 700) M40A1 SNIPER RIFLE W/PROPER USMC SCOPE. SN 224797. Cal. 308. 24″ bbl. This rifle is the replacement for the M40 Sniper Rifle of the Vietnam War era. The M40A1 has been in use since just after Vietnam and is still the primary Marine sniper rifle of the day. Some of these were manufactured as new while most were upgraded M40. It is equipped with the post Vietnam War Unertl telescope and the same Redfield mount as was on the M40. It has a heavier bbl than the M40 with a countersunk crown as opposed to flush, which made it less likely to sustain damage to the rifling if dropped. Equipped with a generic, leather scope case that is in good condition. PROVENANCE: Carl Metz Collection. CONDITION: Bbl action shows approx 90% of the orig gray Parkerizing with some slight wear and scratching towards the front of the bbl. The USMC sniper scope shows 85% thinning gray Parkerizing with crystal clear optics. The base and rings show better than 95% of their orig Parkerized finish. Triggergurad and floor plate assy also show better than 95% of their orig gray Parkerizing. Fiberglass camo buttstock shows very good condition with a few light scuffs and no significant marring. This rifle is equipped with a leather sling dated 10 /79 and shows little use, thought there is some slight cracking from dryness. Mechanics are excellent while the bore shows bright and shiny. 4-38442 BEK19 (5,500-9,000)
