    Army M24 Build Thread

    I definitely remember when that change was made, we had a gun repaired and it came back with new optics and it took a little while to adjust to the change in the elevation adjustment.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    The M3A was/is a great piece of kit, very simple and very effective. In all the years I used them and ran sniper courses, I saw very few problems with them, or the M24 for that matter. When I was overseas, we did have a reticle (the glass it is etched on) come loose and turn about 20 degrees to...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I have a lot of similar stories ref Army v Marines, the moral of the story always is everyone wants what they don't have. Not that I was ever enamored with the M40 or the Unertl per se (nice units unto themselves) but I never wished for a better rifle than the M24 even though over the years we...

    LOL completely understand. I went through the same deal "back in the day" when I was carrying a duty M24. I always hated that mushy none distinct adjustment, finally pulled the elevation turret off to see what was going on, after playing with it a little I ended up lubing up the O ring and it...

    Its the O ring usually, you can try and put a little Vaseline on it or remove it completely.

    The D kit came with a replacement elevation, windage and focus knob/turret.

    Makes sense since Badger made both (and I designed it...)

    They sourced them from a variety of places, I know because I helped them a few times find sources.

    Just any FYI about slings, these were not Remington sourced, they were provided to Remington by the US Army.

    Anyone looking for a M24A3? I know someone selling one (not me), but it is a one of one version; it is a 19" gun put into a RACS, it was a prototype I did right before we canceled the program. Its a full system, rifle, optics, hard case, D kit, etc. I can make the connection, I don't have a dog...

    The predominate US Army 7.62 sniper ammunition spec of the time and as I recall it was M852 for Israel, however if I remember right we used M118LR for the Egyptian contract. The actual specs were a bit convoluted to be honest, I know the internet is full of this spec and that spec, but the Army...

    Looks good

    Actually, all of the A2's were/are cut for 5/8-24, however the 3rd model and 12th model cans required a different barrel contour that required the barrel to be turned down in the front and the forming of a 20 degree shoulder for the can to center on. That said, both of these still had 5/8-24...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Was late 04 that we started, I cannot remember when the first units were sold as conversions and to whom (although I have a good idea but would rather not say). The conversions ran until around 08/09 when the Army announced that they were going to do the M2010. That said, the A2 as both a rifle...

    A2 is threaded 5/8-24 with a AAC flash hider installed.

    Retro (et al) - as mentioned here, I developed the M24A2 and M24A3 (along with a few others), I will try and answer everyone's questions as best I can, however, part of the issue reasons for the confusion related to these product centers around a variety of issues to include posted pictures...

    XM25 replica M14 sniper rifle (circa 1990ish, as made at Ft Devens/10th SFG)

    Hi, I am not confirming or denying that.... Funny thing with Phil, I knew him very well when he was a west coast SEAL and I was from 1st SFG; we would attend conferences together and represent the west coast. He was a competitive shooter and long gun as I was, but when he went to Crane...

    XM25 replica M14 sniper rifle (circa 1990ish, as made at Ft Devens/10th SFG)

    When I get an opportunity, I will get a picture of my rifle. I have an EBR gun as well, essentially a Springfield Armory M1A Squad (18" barrel). I didn't build it to be a replica of anything, more so just because. I know the owner of Sage very well and when I was at Remington we did some...

    XM25 replica M14 sniper rifle (circa 1990ish, as made at Ft Devens/10th SFG)

    A couple of things here; I am VERY familiar with OPS Inc and I am pretty sure that was not one of Phil's cans. I don't know exactly where it came from but if I had to guess I would say it came from Crane or through them as a part of a "black" purchase. I was involved with the MK13 program...
