    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread I'm not a moderator here but I think we're getting off topic. Not a thread for criticism of the M24. This thread is for M24 enthusiasts who want to build the M24 and it's several variants. On the outside edge of the topic might be building the M2010 since it's...

    how would you tweak this build?

    Re: how would you tweak this build? I must agree with most of what I read above. More power, yes. Zoom, yes, so you can power down when you have high mirage and to gain more situational awareness for scanning the target area or when shooting moving targets or when you yourself are moving...

    Feedback Good Guy List

    Re: Good Guy List Chalk up a good mark for M24SWS. Good reliable buyer. Paid on time on a lay-away sort of purchase. Great communication with him also. A+++++

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread OK M24 sports fans, here's something that will take your M24 build over the top. What M24 would be really complete if it didn't have night op capability. Here's a chance to get a Simrad AN/PVS-9 for your weapon. They don't show up often so someone needs to jump on...

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Nope HS cannot do that. I wanted to put the adj cheek piece on my M24 and they said just what Red6actual said. No.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread This is the EMA and the ARD that is in the M24 Tech Manual. This EMA was added in Change 4 and the ARD was added in Change 7 though the NSN is misprinted. The actual Change 7 page has the correct NSN but the TM that has the changes thru Change 8 posted, both printed...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread This box did come with the full SWS from Remington as did all the parts. This is the early DKit that was provided in the SWS. Back on page 12, Lockedandloaded posted a pic of the late model DKit. The older Pelican Box and later the Pelican 1100 boxes are no longer...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread For all you M24 enthusiasts out there that are in the process of building up your M24 Sniper Weapon System, here is a photo of the the D Kit contents. It's a little nicer to see a photo taken from the original TM from Remington rather than the line drawings that are...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread For anyone looking for a vintage Mk4 M3 Scope for their M24 build. This scope would be accurate for an early M24. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_7_163/98847...0_shipped_.html

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Yes they are hard to come by. Virtually unobtainable by anyone that doesn't have a M24 Serial Number to provide Remington as proof that you own a M24. If it is a real Remington M24 trigger and you don't want it, I'm sure you could find someone on this thread that...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Yes the actual rubber piece on the butt plate. Remington provides those to H-S Precision. They are a half inch or so thick unlike the thick pad that is normally attached to that stock from H-S Precision. They are Remington logo-ed. I have seen, actually owned, a...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Yes they are hammer forged though they weren't at the very beginning. Remington did not have the hammer forging equipment. Mike Rock made the first barrels for the M24 and they were button cut but Remington quickly caught up and bought the equipment and ultimately...

    M24A2 DBM

    Re: M24A2 DBM Specifically you are looking for the Badger M5 DBM M24 Sniper Rifle Drop In Triggerguard P/N 306-84. It comes with one 5 round straight stack magazine. Accuracy International makes the magazine and it is called the AE MkI .308 Winchester 5rd Magazine. No other will fit.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Well sure this new Mk8 would be good for the .300WM or .338 Lapua M24s but that's not really the point here. 10X has been more than adequate for the 7.62mm M24. The documented max effective range was 800 meters but show me a sniper who hasn't shot and shot well out...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread I'm not sure of the date that the Ultra M3A changed to the Mark 4 M3 10X either but I'm fairly sure that the Mark 4 M3 10X changed to the the Mark 4 M3 LR/T and that was 2000. In that change the dials reversed their rotation from clockwise to counter-clockwise. A...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Nice information on the date codes but it should be noted that these codes do not apply on the M3As as all guesswork was eliminated by actually engraving the date as part of the serial number.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread What Red6actual is asking is if anyone knows if the early Mark 4 M3 scopes were mounted on US Army rifles. We all know that the M3A was the first batch of scopes to come with the M24. Later scopes that have been issued on the M24s have been the Mark 4 M3 LR/T scope...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Re: Army M24 Build Thread Nah, you didn't come off as grouchy at all. You're welcome for the measurements though. I would take them with a grain of salt and only use them as a guide. Red6actual posted his was 32.5mm and he has a factory M24 as well. BTW, it's PITA to put my factory M24...
