    Hi .243,
    Is this Midway as in part of the USA online shooting franchise: http://www.midwayusa.com/

    Hope it is :)

    I've been trying for years to get stuff off them. I even tried all the European brances including the UK, all wouldn't ship outside their host country.
    Cheers,

    To be honest I don't know. I've never bought a custom rifle off him or seen his work. You would be better served ringing him and discussing your needs. These guys get loads of emails from people asking about stuff that never turns into a job. I has trouble getting a gunsmith to deal with me in the US via email, rang him and within a few minutes we were doing business.

    Hi .204,
    I've been looking around on the net for you and I've found this crowd in France who are quoting prices for the M40A1 on pages 5-6 of a PDF. They are firearms dealers:

    This crowd in the UK are doing something similar with a rem 700 action:

    I just think this one looks nice, I loved the RPA rifles when they used carbon fiber stocks but alas that stock is no more:
