    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Close enough, sure if you care nothing for details, I wouldn't even use that on a clone, that particular Champions base is way off, too many holes top and bottom, it replicates the Redfield 40X, which was not used on the M24.

    Re: Marines to field Colt .45 1911 Really, you would rather have a Glock? I can agree with that as I like them, in fact Glocks are all I own now. Had Sigs too for many years till I changed, both good pistols.

    Re: Rustoleum clear coat foggy Yes, I have had this happen many times, never really paid attention to humidty but I do know that if the clear is old it will do this, always test the clear first on a stick or something sacrificial and use real light coats, also be sure to shake the can for 2-3...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread There is and easy way to figure this, the original FH was engineered for the Remington 40X front sight base that is .170 high, so the lock ring has a shallow clearance notch. The OK Webber front base being taller, .375 if memory serves, has the larger diameter...
