Where did you read that? I just scoured the website looking for a mention with no luck. Do you have a link?"There's a race of men that don't fit in,
A race that can't stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
And they roam the world at will." - Robert ServiceComment

Senich says these "seven digit" M40's were procured by the USMC for test & evaluation purposes.....Probably not combat-fielded, but rare as heck, and he quotes Bruce Nelson .."one without provenance should be viewed with caution."....I would say this one has good provenance.........should go for a pretty penny....Comment

Since Senich wrote his book, more information about the late M40's have been found. These rifles occur in a narrow band of serial numbers, 6,257,XXX. Some of these rifles were used in combat. 19 of the late rifles were sent to Sionics for modification to accept supressors for SF use in country. It seems that alot of these rifles also found thier way into the AMTU, The AMTU sent about 14 barreled receivers to the CMP about a year back. Most, not all, were modified to .223 (new heavy barrel). Once the MTU folks figured out what they had, they wanted them back.
