I built a M40 A5

[Tactically Casual]

It took allot of research, but Ive finally got all the parts and together to build a M40 A5 with KAC SR25 mock suppressor.

Ive wanted to do this for awhile. The final straw was when Ares said they were going to make a M40. After looking at the pictures, I was disgusted at the lack of detail and the exorbitant cost. I thought, "Hell I can make a superior M40 that cant be copied" so I decided to build another one of my custom guns. The first obstacle was the stock. I wanted to get a mcmillian stock, on a budget(LOL) I almost got one , but it didnt work out. My contact in MCmillan couldnt hook me up with a stock, and CDI was too busy, I talked to a rep at ------- and bought one of their .308 short pull tactical rifle stocks. It comes with aluminum bedding and all the features of a McMillan, even has a v cut so the barrel will osculate correctly. I could have gotten a Mcmillan stock, but id have to wait 3 months for the price I wanted to pay. I figured Im shooting BBs, not match grade ammo, and for the price I paid, I couldn't be happier.





2) the gun:Base gun is a kjw M700

upgrades:
Cnc chamber
edgi 6.00 tightbore
2 Roy hop up
9 ball purple bucking
gg striker spring
gas route springs
gg rubbers
stainless nozzle(custom sized)

The barrel: Tanaka M700 heavy barrel


The dilemma:Bedding the rifle



The finished product:
The bedding of the rifle was so precise that the barrel had a perfect float all the way to the magwell. There was no deviation and the barrel was in alignment with the action. If it were a real rifle it would oscillate without even touching the side of the stock. Im going to start moding these 308 short action tactical stocks for KJW/ tanaka m700s. It was very hard, but bedding a real rifle stock to a airsoft gun isnt easy. The results say it all. I am one of a hand full of people in the world that have a true m40 a5 rifle. The only thing missing is a MK/SN, the armors designation, I even have a heavy barrel that can take the KAC mock suppressor. The best part is you'd have to know someone and de-mill it in order to get it overseas and no one can touch the prices on em. This is one gun that wont get cloned any time soon.
