original m40

d7ranch
I have an original m40 with a redfield scope, mint condition, I dont think it ever went into action. Im thinking about posting it on the boards for sale but dont know what its worth.
enternet says there was less than 900 ever made and when most came out of action they were made into m40a1's or lost in action. They said it was almost impossible to find an original one. when I called remington they said they was not at liberty to give any info on the ser. number. Its not the commeritive, I have one of those also. Can someone give me an idea what is worth or where I could have it appraised?

    An interesting post.

    It seems to me that factory shipping records are not as important as paperwork showing the legal transfer of the rifle from the former owner (the US Government). Absent that, a lot of folks (including the fellas with the bulges in the cheap suits) might assume that the rifle in question had been stolen. Not that I'm saying it was, I'm just saying it's something that needs to be documented.

    If you give us the SerNo, we'll at least tell you if it falls in the range of SerNo's assigned to a government contract.

    At least it's a start.

    As it stands now, it values at the catalog pricing of Remington M-40 redux.

    Does it have a US gov't inspector stamping on the stock? Any stampings at all anywhere on the stock? Thanks, Joe
