northwestnorthlanders: sdkfz142:Sneak Peek - USMC M40A6 Prototype - Soldier Systems DailyI recently got a look at a prototype of the proposed USMC upgrade to the M40A6 configuration for their venerable sniper rifle based on the Remington 700 action. Well I’m told that IOC still two years out, the decision for the upgrade in stock to a modified version of the Remington Arms Chassis System which has already been adopted in other forms by the US Army and SOCOM. Currently, the working designation remains M40A6 but it well be fielded as the M40A7. Apparently, the barrel remains the sticking point, and a final decision on length and twist rate has still not been made although the weapon remains 7.62 NATO. Take a look at the gallery and you may see a few other tidbits of info like the SureFire suppressor adapter. Can anyone tell me what type of tripod and adapter is being used here? -- source link
