I'm under the impression that the presentation rifles were originally an Air Force contract rifle but Marty B would know for sure. The CMP rifle that sold for $360259, another barreled action that CMP sold a few years ago was 6257301 $4650). One presentation rifle was sold by Rock Island Auction in late 2009, ($14950) serial # on that rifle was 6257284, I'm pretty sure that 6257227 was another but I would have to check my notes.

Mescabug, I believe there were 4 or 5 USMC M40 presentation rifles built, serial numbers for two are listed in Senichs book 6257207 & 6257276. Bolt is serialized to the action, and has good headspace.'

This barreled action appears to have been rebarrelled since the barrel does not have the typical Remington proof marks/stamps on the left side of the barrel, and has a recessed crown. Short action Remington M700, clip slotted and US marked.

This barreled action is serial number 6257239, and may have been an USAF rifle. ' M40 Sniper Rifle Barreled Action (serial #) 6257239 Information is lacking re the mysterious USAF M40 rifles, but I will note that CMP auctioned off one of these barreled receivers in 2015 (for big $$), that may have been transferred to them from the Air Force: No matter which model of 700 you may be dealing on I think the roughness can be dealt with quickly enough.Д«est of luck - what ever you decide to do - I wish I could be of more help to you.' I have 2 Rem 700 receivers the one I'm going to build on first is ser # 6,243,9xx does this number fall into the correct range for the m40'.ДЄs others have noted, that is not in the serial number range for USMC M40s, but apparently your serial # of 6.24M is kind-of close to some M40s reportedly used by the US Air Force (and for R&D purposes). I have only seen the Rifle once but it looked very good to me. He further relayed that he only removed the finish from the SPS's bolt and barrel and the action lug runways were already smooth enough for his desires. So, I also guess that I disagree (but not with a lot of certainty) that the Remington SPS finish is not due to heavy bead blasting but to the applied finish itself?ДЄllen, I just got a return call from my friend Jack - he relayed that indeed the SPS rough finish is applied and not built in or sandblasted on! I have only owned the one SPS but am familiar with many more that belong to Varminting partners and the crude finish on these doesn't seem to hamper their accuracy or usefullness afield? I could get the particulars on the process he himself did to the Rifle - if you are interested. I believe that Rifle was in caliber 17 Remington Fireball! My good friend Jack from Yelm, Washington bought an SPS-V some years back and simply polished off the 'rough finish' of the bolt and action and had a 'shiney' (but smooth) Remington 700 Varmint! I own a 'G' prefix Remington 700 SPS-V in caliber 22-250 Remington and the action works just fine for me. If you could look at the barrel again and get those letters I can date it for you.ДЄs far as I know you can not get an accurate month/date of manufacture by the serial number letter prefix?

Hemiallen: Remingtons are more easily/readily 'dated' by the two letter barrel code on the left side of the Remington factory barrel.
