    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Talking about the barrel here, being that it is 24 inches long. Is that measurement taken from the recoil lug like the USMC does for a total overall length of 25 inches or is the M24 overall barrel length 24 inches?

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread How much does will it cost to have Mike Lau do the trigger and how long will it take? I have a TBA M40a3 that I would like to put the trigger on to make it more complete. I also have a couple M24 builds coming up that I want to put that trigger on.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread That safety lever came with the M40 rifles used in Vietnam. They had the 6 digit SN. They were used on the M40a1's when they converted the M40 to the M40a1. When the USMC got a new batch of receivers, SN with the C prefix, then they had the round safety as you see...

    M40a1 build guide

    Re: M40a1 build guide Trying to match SN's to everything is a nightmare and things usually didnt last long. In Vietnam on the M40 they would serialize the scope and the scope mount. The Redfield scopes never had their own SN and the SN that they had was that of the gun. Things would rarely...

    M40A3 Eric Reid Spec M40 side mount bolt release

    Re: M40A3 Eric Reid Spec M40 side mount bolt release Yes they did come with the side bolt release when they first came out with the M40a3. They got rid of them because they constantly broke. I dont know exactly when they changed it but when we had our M40a3's they didnt have them. The...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Military switching side arms again?

    Re: Military switching side arms again? There was an article in the Marine Corps times about it. I think that its about time that they do change. Id love to go to the 1911. I hate the M9 along with 99% of the Marines that I know do too. Its a garbage pistol. The 1911 being unstripable is...

    Gunsmithing Adjusting X-Mark Trigger

    Re: Adjusting X-Mark Trigger I dont agree with the way some people say that Remington triggers are not trusted. I have only had one problem with my trigger on my TBA M40a3 and that was when it was taken off from safe to fire did it fire without pulling the trigger. I think that the old...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread I know the M24 trigger is almost inpossible to get a hold of. Does anyone know of a gunsmith that knows how to make one? I think that this is really the only way that we can get one.
