M40 Airsoft
M40 AIRSOFT
The M40 rifle is a bolt-action sniper rifle used by the United States Marine Corps. Built from the Remington Model 700 and first introduced in 1966, the M40 has had four variants: the M40, M40A1, M40A3, and M40A5. The M40 was developed out of a need during the Vietnam War to have a standard sniper rifle for the USMC and the Remington 700 was chosen for the role where it continues to serve in the present day. The airsoft M40 has several models made by several brands including the Tokyo Marui Airsoft M40A5 Bolt Action Sniper Rifle - Black, Tanaka Airsoft M40A1 Black (Cartridge Type Version 2) - Gas Version, the VFC Airsoft M40A5 Gas Sniper Rifle Standard Version and the ARES Airsoft M40A6 Sniper Rifle - Black (Spring Power).

From Vietnam to Your Backyard
The M40's legacy, deeply rooted in the Vietnam War, where it was the preferred long-range precision rifle for Marine marksmen, is a testament to its historical significance. Based on the Remington 700 short action, this sniper system has evolved through various iterations, each one honing its deadly accuracy and reliability.
The M40's lineage can be traced back to the Springfield M1903 and M1 Garand. But the Remington Model 700 truly set the stage for this sniper legend. The United States Marine Corps (USMC) transformed this civilian rifle into a military masterpiece, proving that sometimes the best weapons come from unexpected places.
Why Choose the M40?
There are a few key reasons why you’ll want to add the M40 to your airsoft lineup:
- Unmatched Realism: From its sleek bolt action and overall length to its authentic wood stock (or fiberglass, depending on the model), this airsoft replica captures the essence of the real steel M40.
- Precision Engineering: Just like the original rifle assembled by USMC armorers at Quantico, our M40 airsoft version is built for accuracy. The adjustable hop-up system lets you dial in your shots with sniper-like precision.
- Versatility: A key feature that makes it a perfect fit for any scenario, whether a Vietnam War reenactment or a modern milsim event. It's like a chameleon, but instead of changing colors, it changes eras, making you feel adaptable and prepared for any situation.
- Customization Options: Like its real-world counterpart, the airsoft M40 is ready for upgrades. Add a bipod, swap out the scope, or even attach a mock suppressor to channel your inner Carlos Hathcock.
- Authentic Redfield or Unertl Style Scope: Because hitting your target is more fun when you can actually see it.
- Adjustable Trigger: Fine-tune your pull for that perfect shot.
- Realistic Bolt Action: Nothing says "sniper" like the satisfying chunk of a well-crafted bolt.
- Textured Grip: This is for when your palms get sweaty from all the intense sniping action.
Choose Your Flavor: From A1 to A6
The M40 has seen numerous iterations over the years, and our airsoft lineup reflects this evolution:
- M40A1: The Vietnam-era classic featuring a traditional wood stock and old-school cool.
- M40A3: Upgraded with a McMillan fiberglass stock and modern optics, this version screams "21st-century sniper."
- M40A5: The latest and greatest, with an improved stock and built-in suppressor lug for when you need to be sneaky.
Customization: Because One Size Doesn't Fit All
Like the real M40 rifles customized by USMC armorers, your airsoft version is ready for personalization:
- Upgrade the inner barrel for enhanced accuracy
- Add a high-end scope for better target acquisition
- Install a match-grade trigger for that crisp break
- Swap out the stock for a modern polymer or aluminum chassis
