[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 172508, member: 3"] Roy The USMC M40 and M40A1 rifles were clip slotted as received from Remington. Initially this would be of zero benefit as the scope base covers the clip slot and block the clip slot normal usage. I suppose there was some thought of using a front and receiver sight as used by the Army M24 for some of the rifles or for the marksmanship training but I don't know for sure. The second generation M40, the M40A1 with the Unertl base used the clip slot to augment the strength of the base to rifle bond, the base was machined to slide into the clip slot front and rear. Badger Ordnance and U S Optics are known to me to make clip slotted bases for use with these type rifles and actions. To have a genuine synthetic (clone) of an M40 or M40A1 the action must be clip slotted. I can tell you the rems but then... well, you know what I'd need to do. If you ever actually want to know, fax a request to (3 0 1) 2 9 5 - 5 9 8 1, include your particulars and positive ID. [/QUOTE]
