    Accuracy International AT 308 vs Remington M24

    In Italy price is pretty more insane, it's more expensive than an AT (6000$ vs 5500$), so it's better to seek something different if I pretend the same accuracy of an AI, even if M24 is really beautiful.

    Accuracy International AT 308 vs Remington M24

    Hi all, I've a Accuracy Int.

    Should I be able to unscrew original barrel by hand? And when I'm replacing barrel, what is the torque for the new one? Or should I screw it by hand, again? And...last stupid question...in order to swap caliber the only thing is to swap barrel? Or modify or check anything else? Thanks

    Gunsmithing Accuracy AT308 barrell replacing

    Hi all from Italy, I've just bought an Accuracy AT308, even if my gun shop told me that only AXMC is made for barrell/caliber change, in the manual the factory speaks about "quicklock" system for AT too, in fact unscrewing the locking screw and using a tool on the flat faces at the end of the...

    Bore diameter of Rem M24 (and 5R)

    For me it s ok to use a common gauge to check caliber in the muzzle, just to have an idea of the condition. I always use it when I buy old snipers, expecially WWII rifles.

    Bore diameter of Rem M24 (and 5R)

    It could be difficult to measure groove to groove dia in 5R because they aren t opposite, but to measure bore dia you can insert into muzzle a pass/no pass gauge with known diameter, it will touch every land top...

    Bore diameter of Rem M24 (and 5R)

    Yes, that's the nominal bore dia in a new 308W barrel (seen on 4 and 6 lands rifling - TRG22 and Rem 40XB), but I'm wondering if even in the case of 5R rifling (M24 in particular) it could be the same...
