There are multiple clone threads in the AR-15 forum for retro M16s’, M4/M4A1, M4 Block II, Mk18, and Mk12. I think it’s time the precision rifle sub-forum gets its own clone thread. My list is non comprehensive. I’m not an expert and have not gotten to finger every gun out there. So if there is anything that needs to be addressed, fixed, or added, let me know.
If there is a rifle I am missing (which I know I am), PM me the rifle and any info you have about it and I will add it to the list. Let the editing begin

This build didn't cost me much, relatively. Thank God for student discounts.
All work done by me. Scope base and up is not "correct" but I'm a college student so don't hate.

And what is that a clone of? Congrats on the build, but I'm not sure if it belongs in this thread.
OP, thanks for taking the time to put this together. |

Mind telling my how much that A3 cost minus optics? Was it built at PWS or is it a side business? |

The Mk13 Mod 6 is a left handed Mod5. They are out there, and I've seen most at the sniper school at Bragg. The rifle you have pictured as a Mod6 is a prototype Mod7.
The correct, issued optic for the Mk13 Mod5, 5.5 and 6 - varies depending on service. The Navy uses Nightforce Mil-Spec 5.5-22x56 riflescopes and the Army was the Nightforce Mil-Spec 3.5-15x50F1. Individuals and various platoons may have swapped things out as desired, but the above are correct as issued from Crane-once it gets to the unit and individual, they can add what the want. As an FYI, I'm not familiar with any unit level purchase of Horus branded optics, but do know of Bushnell HDMR's and S&B's being used as alternatives at the small unit level. The Mod7's have either S&B PSR scopes, Night force 3.5-15x50F1 or Nightforce Mil-Spec 5.5-22x56 depending on service. |

One if the MIL/LE/GOV guys at Nightforce commented saying that the rifle pictures in the Mod 6 section, is a Mod 6. Does the Army have left handed M24s? I believe this is a Marine, using a Horus scope on a Mod 5.

That'd be me - that was around before the Mod7 was actually officially settled and accepted. Specifically the dark earth color and base to make a long continuous upper rail, but look at the magwell cutout - that's a prototype stock. The Army is the only ones I've seen with left handed Mk13's, but that doesn't mean the Navy doesn't have them, it's just that I haven't seen them.
Again, individuals may have added what they wanted - especially in the beginning when there weren't a lot of Horus based scopes readily available. Just because you have a picture with one doesn't mean it was regularly used. I can find pics of a USO equipped Mk13 Mod5 and M40A5's with Nightforce F1's, but it doesn't mean they were regular issue. |

It was built at PWS in Quantico. My cost is pretty skewed because I got some parts for almost nothing and the action was free from parting out a gun. Below is what all the parts would run.
Action $400 or so Barrel $350 Bottom metal $330 Stock $900 Recoil lug $30 Scope rail $415 for DD Ross $200 for badger (I got the DD Ross unit) Rings with SIMRAD cap $325 M24 trigger $300+ if you can find one PGW EFR $250 That's well into $3k just for the parts. Obviously if you shop around you can get deal here and there. I fell into my M24 trigger from a neighbor of mine. I also watched gunbroker for scope and was able to snag one for $2800 which I thought was a pretty good deal. |

As an FYI, the base on the Mk13 Mod7 is an AI base designed for the Stiller Mk13 action. The AAC Mk13SD is also a correct brake and suppressor for this rifle.

Also, the Badger DBM is correct for the M40A3. The A5 designation comes when the SureFire brake is added.

In on this thread, trying to join the Mk13 Mod 5 party. I figured I'll have to budget every bit of $8k to put this thing together. I'm thinking the first step will either be to 1) purchase the KAC Mk11 Suppressor or 2) Secure the Chassis

Additionally--
I have been looking at some tripod setups. Anyone have any recommendations? Was thinking about going with: - HOG saddle - Manfrotto Tripod 055 Series (Carbon or Aluminum  )
- Manfrotto X-PRO 3-way head
Seems like it works for this dude:

Chassis's can be picked up fairly easily..... I had some friends spin me up a Mod5 contour barrel for a Mk11 suppressor I had laying around without a rifle. I'll get it built up someday. It's definitely a different setup, even if not the most ideal way of mounting a suppressor. It's capable of good accuracy, the limiting factor is the suppressor in that it needs to be "shot in" and then if it's bumped at all, accuracy goes to shit. I shot the Mk13 Mod5 that's pictured sitting on a porch extensively. This was a new rifle, but cranked out 1/2MOA groups without any issues - until the suppressor got a good lateral knock. |

Does Crane crank out barrels with the generic dimentions or do they fit each suppressor? I had to send my suppressor in to be fitted

I got lucky in the case of mine as it's a snug fit without any excess slop. 
I'd have to check, but if I recall correctly, the Mk13 Mod4 was a Mod5 barreled action in a McMillan A2 w/ McCann rail - it also used the Mk11 suppressor though. |

It latter became more of a DMR rifle when it was re-issued post 9/11 in Iraq & Astan. If you are good with the M1A section covering it, so be it.

Trying to dig up more specs. I assume the barrel is made by Remington. I'm not sure on the specs. The only viable stock option that I see for an XM2010 clone is the Drake Associates chassis. The M21 actually was the primary US Army Sniper Rifle during the 60s, 70s, 80s, until the M24 came into the picture in 1988. I completed my first Sniper School in 1986 with a M21. It latter became more of a DMR rifle when it was re-issued post 9/11 in Iraq & Astan. If you are good with the M1A section covering it, so be it. The M110 actually replaced the M24 in a number of units as the primary Sniper Rifle. If you want to call it good with the other sections, so be it. The 2010: Specs: http://www.remingtonmilitary.com/Firearms/Sniper%20Rifles/XM2010.aspx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M2010_Enhanced_Sniper_Rifle If you check the references at the bottom, there are a number of additional resources. You can actually purchase a RACS chassis if you would like: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/manufacturers_id/3/products_id/711006212/RACS+Remington+Accessory+Chassis+System+Complete+Assembly+Fits+M/ So if you are the person that must have a 100% correct reproduction, it is possible, though it will cost you over $4K! Thanks, Best of Luck, M Richardson $4K for that chassis? Wow... That's a new level of insanity. There are a number of questionable things about the 2010. |

Of all the bolt guns I could see myself getting the most use out of it. |

Going through several pics of the XM3, it looks like some might have fluted barrels.
I haven't personally seen one. All of ours weren't fluted. |

Trying to locate an online retailer that offers the A2 or A3 McMillan stock (for an XM3 build) at a decent price - any recommendations?
EDIT: I meant, A 1-3

Pricing seems to be about the same wherever you go, it's just a matter of how fast you can get it. I called George at GA Precision to get one he had in stock for my build. I wasn't concerned about color because paint fixes everything, but I didnt want to wait 5+ months from McMillan at the time.
I've got an XM2010 with the RACS chassis (actually plan on selling it). It's nothing special - Remington long action with a Remmy barrel and an AAC Titan QD mount.The contour is specific to the rifle. I do know Bartlein has the specs for the contour as that's where I got mine. |

If you want one now, McMIllan has one ready to go for $525, I'd buy it before I do :)
There is also a few listed on Snipershide from $410 |

Great thread. I have a rifle I bought used that seems to lean towards M40A5, but it is not close enough to "correct" for me to post it here.

The ones on snipershide are in the options for sale section, They're prolly a few pages in by now, but im sure if you do a search they'll pop up. One is a guy that was doing a xm3 clone, and the other listing is a company that bought a bunch of them and is now selling them for 410, #5 and #7 barrel channels

This M40A1 is my personal rifle; I had to sell it a few months ago due to some latent hospital bills from my daughter's birth. One heck of a shooter.
Full spec build, minus the 6-digit re-build receiver (I had a 5-digit). Return stock and Schneider tube. I miss it. 
I built these in 2012 as a pair for a customer; no way I have that much money.

I knew I liked the looks of the XM3. I bought this rifle used in 2005. It was the Remington Coyote Varmint. Org 26" and that awful black and grey speckled stock. The most recent change is the barrel cut again, from 22" to 20" and machined to mount my AE30 suppressor. ETA: corrected original model name. |
