This is dumb. (Just my opinion, of course, and we all know what they say about assholes...er...opinions) For the same money one could have basically the same rifle built and glassed.
US M40 on GunBroker.

So could anyone. Hell, Remington sells the M40 package on the civilian market last I checked...but it's not a US Mil M40.

I think he reproduction M40 rifles from m40 company go for around 3K without glass.
An original would be an incredible thing to pull it if the safe and stare at. And I would have to shoot it at least a few times.

I think I'd take it from the safe, shoulder it and go Phew, Phew a few times. Those scopes are worth a ton of money alone. I'd hate to knock that thing against a bench or something else.

I have seen one of the scopes in the wild. It is in a family members collection. Not sure what he gave for it. But I truthfully never thought I would see a correct rifle and scope together.

That's what a sniper rifle should look like

Last I checked it was around 4600. That would be a awesome addition to the collection of those that can afford it

Probably the same way some PD's get APC's and other Military gear.

I was skeptical in my OP and turns out I had a reason to be. But I was hoping to see this be real and see how much it would bring.
I thought that way too but wasn't sure if it applied to weapons? I didn't think the Marine Corps ever got rid of anything until it was absolutely beyond repair.
I guess it doesn't matter, the question kind of answered itself.
I'm glad this was caught and stopped before it went any further. What a damn shame.
