    That auction was a sleeper. It has 2 UID trackers, and the weird RFID tracker. And the HS Precision stock has early issue annodized aluminum plates, not blackened. Maybe a Quantico benchmade predecessor to the M40A3...call it an XM40A2 prototype, or even a stop-gap M40A1 rebuild when McMillan...

    CMP sold Unertl and USO MST-100 scopes

    I called Unertl back in the late 1980's, in Mars, PA. His wife answered the phone. When I asked if they sold their scopes to the public, she got real nasty towards me and said no and to not call again😂

    CMP sold Unertl and USO MST-100 scopes

    Chandler, Death From Afar {Vol. 1, pgs. 128~130} lists every Unertl 10X and the date of purchase. I think he also lists the Barrett 50 scopes in a later edition

    There is also a difference between the floorplates of the 2 contractors who built them. The 2-piece bottom metal variant has an elongated floorplate spring channel on the EuroOptic ASA M24 on the right side picture below. This allows the spring to seat farther forward. Not sure if that was the...

    The factory OM describes how to install the mag follower spring after identifying the longer leg by compressing it. But it does not mention the tactile dimple stamped onto that leg.

    Left bolt is Remington Defense M24 Right bolt is EuroOptic ASA M24 What is the reason Remington widened the EuroOptic lug rail channel? What is the reason Remington used a smaller diameter & non-chamfered gas escape port on the EuroOptic bolt? Both receiver gas ports are the same diameter

    I fired the M852 out of my M1A with a Saco NM bbl. When I reloaded it for that same rifle, it had a few case head seperations using a small-base resizer die, which isn't unusual in a semi. I'm monitoring case stretch out of the M24, and use a full-length sizer die adjusted for its chamber...

    Im having trouble obtaining certain powders, and when I do, they cost over $100/pd with haz, s/h, tax, etc. So currently using Varget/43.0gr which gets me to 4635fps while still fire forming the lot of M852 brass. Problem is its a compressed load that Im not totally pleased with. And as @mjh30...

    It is an original issue manual dated February 1989. Here is what is commonly found, a reproduction. Maybe speculative, but now that Illion NY is closed, its possible there will be a lot of M24 items hitting the market soon.

    Havnt seen a top Pic mounted laser before on MARS/MIR, like you said its occluded, even with that Mark 4 Super High ringset. It would be tits with a PVS-10 if you could get them both aligned. But I assume these AI stocked rifles were issued after the PVS-10

    MARS with PEQ-2 on the top rail, is that set up for use with a helmet mounted monocular like a PVS-14 that looks thru the scope. Or is it meant to be used with a PVS-10?
