$1,139.00
Out of Stock
This stock is specifically made for the M40A5 rifle, and as such, anticipates the use of the Remington 700 SA, Badger bottom metal and PGW style EFR, which was for night vision illuminators. It is made to be 100% clone correct. This is a special order item from McMillan, and Charlie's brings to you direct from the manufacturer. The A5 stock is on the McMillan website for a little less money, but is a painted exterior. This product has the color throughout the resin, which was a Marine requirement. I guess so that when the stock is scratched, the color remains, and is not a white scratch. While the stocks ships to you in olive green, you will see pictures in the wild with operators who have rattle canned the stock, barrel, optic and suppressor with tan and black and many other colors.
While Charlie's specifies this as an M40A5 stock, many late generation A3 rifles had both detachable magazines and embedded front rails, so this stock could be used with an M40A3, if you are comfortable with a detachable magazine.
-Same specs as a M40A3/A5 stock with sniper fill with green embedded in the resin (USMC spec)
-Large square and flat fore end capable of handling a bipod spigot
-Vertical grip with thumb-shelf, putting shooter's hand in the most comfortable and relaxed position
-Texture on fore end and grip for positive gripping surface
-Butt hook on buttstock provides superior control and maneuverability when lying prone for bench shooting with the off-hand
Note on condition: This stock is prepared in the exact same manner in which McMillan produced these stocks for the Marine Corp PWS armorers at Quantico. That is good and bad. Well, really, it is 100% good. The resin is fully stained throughout, so this is not painted over. The nature of the process will also show some odd colors here and there in the stock. Sometimes a dark green, sometimes a black, and this is normal. Also, there might be surface scratches that you would not see with a fine weapon, make for presentation. At Charlie's we do not know the process that McMillan undertakes, but their explanation to us is that "this is the PWS got the stocks originally." So, for those familiar with the M40, you will know this, and see this as genuine and love it. For the person looking for a trophy gun, you might think it is an imperfection. It is not.
We get these stocks on a regular basis, and they come to us direct from McMillan, and we sent them directly to you. If there is a problem, other than cosmetics, pay attention to our return policy for the timelines to make a return. If it is cosmetic, we do not accept returns as defective. For any other matter, you should address your concern to McMillan. We are the dealer in this case, and have not altered the stock at all.

For reference material on how to assemble an M40A5 USMC sniper rifle, see this article from Rifleshooter.
Assembling an M40 rifle requires specialized skill from a gunsmith. Charlie's does not offer gunsmithing services to assemble your rifle, but ask our knowledgeable team members about the parts you might need, including the scope, mount for the scope and even a suppressor. Charlie's either has, or will have all the parts, and if you have not picked out a gunsmith, we can probably point you to a few that do great work.
Note to Buyer: We are selling this as it comes new from McMillan, in the box, made to M40A5 spec. What this means is that the inletting is done to spec, but with the expecation that some small adjustments for fit for the metal parts is quite normal. There could be a small variation in cut that require the skill of a craftsman to fit this as a rifle. It should not be a DIY project, but it could be. Be aware of what you are buying and it is not a fit the legos together and rock and role situation. You also should expect that major interfaces like the screw holes and pillars are in the correct position. We will not take back as defective small scratches (this is a military stock) or imperfections in fit of bottom metal, etc.
The United States Marine Corps M40A5 Sniper Rifle served as the primary sniper rifle of the US Marines from 2009 through about 2015 when it began to be replaced by the M40A6, and later the Mk13 Mod7. Scout Snipers carried the M40A5 in every clime and place, throughout the Global War on Terror and in other hot spots around the globe. The lucky winner of the 2020 annual SSA 0317-Day Rifle Raffle will own a historic piece of the legacy built with the blood, sweat and tears of US Marine Corps Scout Snipers. The raffle drawing for the winning prize ticket will be held on “0317 Day”, or March 17th 2020.
You may have found us by looking for M40A5 sniper rifle parts, and that is awesome. Charlie's specializes in military correct rifles for shooting enthusiasts, as well as for military and law enforcement. We are a small business based in Virginia, and our Potomac Armory brand is a licensed firearms manufacturer and registered DOD contractor and law enforcement dealer. In a few short years, our consumer brand, Charlie's Custom Clones, has grown to be the leading brand for shooting enthusiasts who are looking to increase their proficiency and their armament collection with military rifles and the hobby of clone building, which is just another way of saying that our customers want to buy or build a military correct rifle, largely as collectors, but also as active operators. The word, "Clone" in our name scares people that think we have fake products. We do not. Nothing can be further from the truth, as to have a clone rifle, is to have as exact a copy of an actual military issued weapon, as a civilian possibly can have.
We are known for our barrels, scopes and rifles, and mostly for the period from 1995 to present. We are barrel nerds and scope snobs, but having the right barrel and optic, make for the mission.
Our sniper rifle expertise has been centered around the early 2000's SOCOM rifles, like the Mk12, Mk11, M110 and Mk13. We have recently ventured into the M40 realm, and our goal is to provide as many of the parts for the M40A3 and M40A5 - in stock and ready to ship - to you or to your gunsmith. While most sniper rifles we like to offer complete rifles or components, the nature of the M40 buyer is a little more intimate, and our customers tend to want to source parts and send to their preferred gunsmith, and that is the model that we are adopting. I would suspect that in due time, we might have a registry of a few gunsmiths who specialize in M40 rifles, and eventually that may lead to us offering full rifles, but that is not anywhere in the planning at this time.
In addition to great combat rifles, like the military sniper community, that has led us to also serve the PRS and ELR shooter. So, we carry great names like AI and Cadex and others, and also the best optics that money can buy. For our customers buying full rifles, we offer some great combo discounts with many rifle scope and mount companies, as well as suppressor manufacturers.
We have online chat during business hours, in addition, you can contact us with product questions on Instagram and Facebook at @charliesclones as well as email and phone support. Let us know how we can help you, and help to make your shooting sports ambitions come true. Thanks for stopping in.
