    Army M24 Build Thread

    The PVS-10 does share the exact same laser-etched mil-dot reticle as the L&S Ultra M3a. So no changeover involved for the sniper. It also uses the same click values of 1/2 MOA Windage & 1 MOA Elevation (3/4 Min Dot). Both dials are able to be switched out for different cartridges, but during its...

    The PVS-10 has 8.5X magnification (Day & Night), versus the M3a 10X magnification. This is somewhat confusing that it doesnt share the same mag as the M3a. They made a variant in 12.2X mag for the Barrett M82A3 designated the AN/PVS-12.

    PVS-10 looks unlike conventional nvd. But its form follows function. The basic design has the eyepiece below the line-of-sight from the front objective. This was meant to allow the Army sniper an easy transition from the M3a without changing his field training. The eyepiece is at the same...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    This forum has been a little dry lately. So here's some info on the M24 night vision scope AN/PVS-10. April 1994, VARO, Inc. (now Litton) was awarded a contract to design the Army nvd for M24SWS. Delivery started Feb. 1997. It was the first official nvd for SWS. There had been a previous nvd...

    Guns I laughed at but now regret not buying

    Did an ATF Form-6 import for a Franchi SPAS-15 from the Canadian distributor. That was the magazine feed variant of the SPAS-12. Rare piece, but just as awfully built and awkward to handle. Hated it & never regretted selling it.

    Guns I laughed at but now regret not buying

    When Canuckistan banned certain items, an influx of them came across the local border. This variant turned out to be one of the most rarest FAMAS ever imported in semiauto, the GIAT French Foreign Legion sniper. Unobtainable for all purposes. I will say they were some of the crappiest...

    I'll send you the contact info of a gunsmith who built some copies. Maybe he can make the correct sized lockring for yours.

    This seems plausible if the BM was passed off as original issue with the wrapping paper. Its just an odd situation that Rem would discontinue using their original supplier (Dakota) after purchasing that company, just to go to an outside vendor (SH). I wish these issues were somehow better...

    Is your barrel fluted? Seems lately everyone is going with dimpled barrels

    It seems you own a Dakota Arms "Peter Greisel" designed commercial floorplate, not the early US Army version. I cant locate my paperwork from old Brownells catalogues listing your version at the moment. But it was the basic design that Remington chose for the original M24. They beefed it up, and...

    The sights made in England were called RPS Trakker, and no longer available. You are not wrong about Redfield issuing flat blade screws with their sights. But Rem used allen-heads from the begining to my knowledge.

    The example on top is for the sight system manufactured in the UK, and the bottom example is US made Redfield.
