8.5k too much, don’t buy one then. It’s the best repro you can’t buy…oh wait, all sold out. I guess some 20 lucky collectors thought different.

Considering that for 8.5K you can buy a used Lathe, and possibly a CNC Lathe if you shopped around, that price is absurd for a whole host of reasons. You can buy a real one for that much, and by a real one, I mean one that got left on the battlefield.

for those wanting a good evolution of the M40A1, see American Rifleman, February 2001, page 34.

Thanks Chris for your reply, but i already own one and it cost me $700. I was wanting to know how rare they are. Especially in Canada.

Mark, keep checking Ebay as i have seen them listed ther before. I heard ther was somewhere in the neighborhood of around 400 stocks available. I purchased 15 myself and had no idea they would end up bein g resold for up to $1000 or more. Go over to http://www.snipershide.com and ask around there. I bet you will find someone willing to part with one, but you better have $800 or more to spend for one!

Good Luck

Just got my m40a1 build back from smith. It has a return stock from usmc but i still need a scope. That sucks that those are the last mst-100’s. Im in Alberta Canada,does anyone know the number of return stocks that where made available to the public? Just curious about how many would have made it north of the border? i might be one of a handful to have one of theses stocks up here.
