ETA- I'd bet the farm it's a clone. I guess it could be a legit m40A1 that was returned to CMP and later auctioned off, but I seriously doubt the owner would be the type to have to pawn his rifle later on down the road.

True, but someone's inheriting relative might be the type to pawn a treasure for a pittance.

Agree, but I doubt there's more than a dozen true M40A1's in the wild.

The Leupold isn't the correct scope, but that doesn't mean the rifle isn't a well done clone

Figured I’d heap myself upon the altar of those more knowledgeable.

If there is anyone that has a real m40A1 it's this guy
