Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this AWESOME bolt-action rifle today for a penny-start auction; this is the Remington 40-X built and customized by the Legendary Ed Brown!
Ed Brown Custom started as a dedicated gunsmithing shop focused on high-end firearm modifications, earning a reputation for turning the classic 1911 into a true competition-ready and carry-worthy pistol. Before developing its own line of pistols, the company was also known for enhancing existing platforms, including the Remington 40-X bolt-action rifle. These custom projects often featured upgrades such as hand-lapped barrels, precision trigger work, bedding for improved stability, and refined stocks—all executed with the same meticulous craftsmanship that made Ed Brown’s 1911s legendary. From a finely tuned Government Model to a precision-built Remington 40-X, Brown’s customizations transformed proven designs into exceptionally accurate, dependable, and highly regarded firearms.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
A Remington 40-X customized by Ed Brown represents the meeting of one of Remington’s premier precision rifles with the artistry of a master gunsmith. The 40-X series, developed by Remington’s Custom Shop, was already regarded as a benchmark in accuracy and craftsmanship, built for competitive shooting and long-range precision. When Ed Brown applied his skills to this platform, he elevated it further, ensuring that every element of the rifle was optimized for consistency, reliability, and performance. His reputation for meticulous attention to detail, forged through his custom 1911 work, carried seamlessly into the world of precision bolt-actions. The enhancements Brown performed on the 40-X often included blueprinting the action for perfect alignment, hand-lapping the barrel to ensure uniform rifling, and refining the trigger to deliver a crisp, predictable break. He also paid close attention to bedding, often ensuring that the action was perfectly mated to the stock to minimize movement and maximize repeatable accuracy. These upgrades took the already formidable 40-X platform and pushed it to a level of performance sought after by serious competitors and marksmen. The result was a rifle that not only shot with remarkable precision but also maintained the reliability and durability expected in real-world applications. Today, a Remington 40-X customized by Ed Brown is a rare and desirable piece for both shooters and collectors. Because Brown is primarily associated with custom 1911 pistols, his work on rifles is less common, which adds to their exclusivity. These rifles embody the combination of Remington’s Custom Shop foundation and Brown’s expert craftsmanship, making them highly valued examples of American precision gunsmithing. Whether admired as a collectible or relied upon as a working rifle, an Ed Brown–built 40-X reflects a unique chapter in the history of custom firearms.
