    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Well, I've decided to quit the build project and just look forward to the actual M24 on order. I am going with 300 WIN. It'll be a few months but well worth it. I just need to find a home for the HS Precision stock and Dakota Arms bottom metal that I've got. Cheap!!

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Rhongman, I owe you an apology. it didn't even cross my mind that yours would have been a civilian M24. Damn, I feel like a fucktard. I just re-read my response to your comment and can now see how assuming that sounded.

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread GOOD GAWD, that thing is gorgeous. Here's my receiver fresh off the laser. The blackness of the letters is caused by the burn of the steel. I'll clean it up with the bead blaster. Better than I imagined!!

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Well, I said WTF and figured I'd just cut the butt pad down on the one that came with the stock. Looks right to me. I just need to straighten the edges and re-adhere the rubber to the aluminum. I'll go with it until I can get confirmation of whether or not a...
