    Remington PSR / Need Help??

    To be honest, I don't think anyone knows the actual number built because there were a lot of different things going on. If I can ask, what SN do you have? I can probably give you an indication of when it was built

    I know more than 2 but we will leave it at that as none are going to come off their stash to include me...

    Remington PSR / Need Help??

    We did a number of specialty builds and efforts back in the day, but the MSR/PSR was the most ambitious. I started that effort back around 07 due to some requests we had. As it relates to the USMC, we did a number of things with them in an attempt to satisfy their desires but it never really...

    Remington PSR / Need Help??

    Oh I am not at all saying it didn't happen, I am just saying that in my experience that more times than not, any rifle submitted to the USMC for testing normally does not fair well; they are not big fans of buying off the shelf. I am also not saying that the M24's did not have exactly the...

    Remington PSR / Need Help??

    RemCustom6 - what year was the M40A7 solicitation? I know that we submitted 3 M2010 rifles to the USMC around probably 2013 or so for some testing as the Corps was looking for a 300WM and was thinking about a COTS solution, unfortunately one of the rifles had head space issues and all 3 were...

    Outstanding information all.

    Remington PSR / Need Help??

    I completely agree, that is the case especially on the SOCOM side. I provided the information I had reference the contract submission side, but I did not have visibility on what some of the operators preferred and/or use or are using.

    Remington PSR / Need Help??

    After some research, there were 2 different companies that supplied rings; Larue and Operational Products (OPS), however I found these https://americansnipers.org/shop/all-products/scope-rings.html

    Remington PSR / Need Help??

    It always was and will forever be a very expensive system, there is a lot of R&D in it and nothing on it is cheap, that said I still believe that it remains one of if not the best all around sniper system in the world. We spent a lot of time designing it and tried to take into account every...

    Remington PSR / Need Help??

    You do not have to apologize we did sell some of the early guns to a specific organization and I have heard they pushed some down when they acquired some other guns. Also, as I said we did provide a handful to DOD/SOCOM and what they have done with them or are doing with them remains to be seen...

    Remington PSR / Need Help??

    There is only one unit in the US military to purchase and use the PSR, actually it was not the PSR, it was the MSR (yes they are different) and in that case they bought the rifles w/o optics and as stated above repurposed some that they already had. Now, if you are talking about the actual...

    Remington PSR / Need Help??

    Currently in service with who? I am pretty familiar with this rifle and its sales having been a part of the development team and running one of the sales divisions.

    Remington PSR / Need Help??

    I will have to review the contract docs as I do not remember what rings we used specifically, I do know that when we submitted we had L&S optics on the guns.

    Remington PSR / Need Help??

    So you are talking about the rings? What PSR contract are you referring to BTW? The SOCOM contract?

    Remington PSR / Need Help??

    The base used on the PSR is a component piece of the chassis and attaches to the receiver and to the hand guard, it was not a separate unit (as in available separately).

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Yeah they didn't last very long. I ran a lot of sniper courses and in every class someone would bring out the soft case, it would be done by the end of the first or second week.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Yeah they were pretty crappy gun cases, they were generic Walmart type deals that would fall apart rapidly, I still have one or two (one for sure that goes with one of my M24 systems), but they were junk in and of themselves. Kind of a nylon material with a thin foam inside.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    You mean that POS soft case that came with the M24? We used to throw them away in the Army because they were terrible.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Thats pretty interesting, I have quite a few BDCs for the M3 and MK 4 M3 variable power (3.5-10), I will have to look and see what I have, I know there are a couple of odd ones in there. FWIW when we (Remington) would get new optics in from L&S, they would come with 308, 223 and 300WM dials, we...
