A summary of the M40A5: The M40 rifle is a bolt-action sniper rifle used by the United States Marine Corps.[1] It has had four variants—the M40, M40A1, M40A3, and M40A5.[2] The M40 was introduced in 1966. The changeover to the A1 model was completed in the 1970s, the A3 in the 2000s, and the A5 in 2009.[3]

Each M40 is built from a Remington 700 bolt-action rifle, and is modified by USMC armorers at Marine Corps Base Quantico, using components from a number of suppliers.[1] New M40A5s are being built, and A1s are upgraded to A3s and A5s as they rotate into the armory for service and repair. The rifles have had many sub-variations in telescopic sights, and smaller user modifications. The M40A5 incorporates a detachable magazine and a threaded barrel to allow for the use of a sound suppressor or other muzzle device.

The original M40 was a military type-classified version of the Remington 700; it was factory-made, and had a one-piece wooden stock.[1] The M40A1 and A3 switched to fiberglass stocks made by McMillan, with new scopes.[1][4] The trigger pull on both models (M40A1/A3) is 3 to 5 lb (1.4–2.3 kg).[1]

The Marine Corps plans to replace the M40 with the Mk 13 Mod 7.[5]
