Army M24 Build Thread

P
Those M24's actually sold yesterday. The one leased to the Army hammered at $14,000 which I thought was really low for a documented sniper rifle.

The black Remington rebuild with full deployment kit hammered at $8,500. The Mk11 Mod 0 contract overrun with Mk11 suppressor in the foreground hammered at $45,000.

Well, the red one will be on the market by the end of the day. The rust repairs needed are beyond my interest, budget, and ability. It was a nice gate way drug to get me started into tiny Italian sports cars, but the cream colored car is way better. And I need to make shed space for when my 944 some day returns from the paint guy.

I did Lapua brass, 175SMK, 42gr IMR-4064, WLR and also 43gr Varget.
Rem 700 VSSF 26" I'd get 2650fps - brass didn't last long using the 43gr Varget.
RPR 20" I'd get 2560fps - The only recipe that POS shot sub minute. Lol

My pig load for 150gr bullets is 43.0, IMR-4064 in standard LC brass. It is starting to get a little spicy at that point, but I've got thousands of pieces and no worries if it lasts 2-3 reloads.

43.0 Varget under a 165gr NBT was my deer load for several years. I run 42.8 in LC LR brass under the 175gr SMK for my M24, and it matches the ballistics of M118LR pretty well.

I was told once that lc 5.56 brass was as good as lapua with the caveat that you needed to sort it to find a group with similar capacity and centered flash holes.

I heard that Arkan and Savage are just as good as anything also. If someone says it. Someone is gonna beleive it.

When I tested 20 random 5.56 LC cases many years ago, it was pretty consistent. It shot well too. I was happy about it because I may or may not have picked up a few thousand of them while I was running ranges for the boys.

Stop crapping on my Arken scoped Salvage.
