    Ultima Ratio

    A shooting buddy has one of these. Nice groupings with hamdloads. Small issue was the ejector has a sharp point on it that scars the case heads. Doesnt affect shooting, just cosmetic.

    Replaced the factory safety lever with this version of the Luth-AR The Switch extended AR selector. They also make an ambi version. $20 and it feels great. Much easier to get a positive thumb grip in that area of the reciever with all of its machine & milling edges. And it looks like it was...

    In that era, only other issued NVD was the SIMRAD KN203 (PVS-9). KAC clip-ons were almost a decade later. The -10's get a lot of hate, but the design was radical af when compared to PVS-4/7 tech. This was when Tennebrex filters & laser interference filters LIF were cutting edge, top-secret...

    AN/PVS-10 eBay $4000. Titled as a .50BMG version, but this is for the M24 in 8.5X. There were some scopes made for the Barrett M82/M107 in I think 12.5X.

    Ive heard MIRS can shear off mounting bolts from impact to its forward rail section. MARS probably the same, especially with smaller bolts? The procedure to rethread your existing 6-48 holes to 8-40 is not complicated if you have basic skills. Spacing & hole alignment has already been done at...

    Wow, nice swipe. You paid less than I did back in the 90's. Leupold & Stevens will lifetime warranty those scopes unless it needs parts they no longer have in stock. Run it through a box test at your range to confirm its tracking correctly. And give L&S a call to ask if they can send you an...

    The RR serial number, and 2013 issue date, is not understood by me. Can someone explain how an M24 with RR prefix and 2013 in-service date happens?

    I think I tried the FOIA. But got no reply back. However, believe the post here that described the process had some kind of typo in the email addy. Do you know the website, or what page of this thread it was posted on? I've read many of your posts here, and always very informative, so a...

    Thank you ODCMP for posting this. I own an E-prefix that is U.S. engraved, bbl date coded WB, 7.62 NATO mk'd bbl, and Remington mk'd buttpad. Also have a photograph of an M24 that was displayed at Remingtons vendor booth during MILIPOL Paris France, bbl similiarly date coded WB, with U.S...
