    Army M24 Build Thread

    I'm keeping the OG Leupold rings and base together. I bought a new set of MK4 rings for the 3.5-10x and MIRS.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I almost sold mine when I made the decision to take the M24 in a more modernized direction. However, I ultimately decided it's better to keep all the original components for a future retro M24 I hope to do later (Ultra M3A 10x, steel rings and base, 9-13 LM bipod, bottom metal). I like the dull...

    I suspect that as well, but not sure why they'd allow the use of custom optics for a military sniper competition and not unit issued optics. I never participated in a sniper comp, so I don't know the rules. *pic for future reference

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Good research. The one I ended up with is Leupold part# 60025. 2nd focal plane is fine. I find FFP useful for optics that are 10x and up, but anything below that becomes difficult to range due to the shrinking reticle. It doesn't really bother me that the one I got isn't exactly "historically...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Does anyone know exactly which optic Nick is running on this rig? When you zoom in on the power ring it looks like the focal range is 4.5-14x, but I could not find any information about a MK4 4.5-14x40 with M3 turrets.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    That's a great find. I had to settle for the commercial variant (MK4 3.5-10x40 M3 LR/T with the TMR in the 2nd focal plane) for my M24 project. Still can't decide whether to do a GWOT era with the Crane mods or keep it OG with the original Ultra 10x. I guess I'll have to get another M24 so I can...

    Rifle Scopes The Arken Optics Thread (merged)

    I will say this, it would be damn shame if COVID-19 kills Arken. For a relatively small amount invested you're getting a very nice optic with great glass and features. I can't think of a single scope at this price point that compares.

    I found an extra 8-40 torx base screw in the deployment kit. Still missing one. If anyone has an extra they're willing to part with please let me know. Thanks.

    Not sure. I can pull it and take a pic tomorrow if it'll help. I'm pretty sure the type for the receiver is 8-40, which Brownells has, but I need to get the right length/depth.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Anyone know where to source an extra receiver screw for the MIRS? I see some available at Badger Ordnance, just wasn't sure what size/type I need.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    All these MIRS equipped M24s appear to be hosting the MK4 3.5-10x LR/T. I'm not sure when units started fielding these or whether or not they were a procurement or COTS purchases.

    LMT .308 MWS

    1.18 didn't work out all that well for me when I tried it on an S&B 4-16x PMII on an MWS flat top. I could still achieve a sight picture, but having 1.5 height is what I preferred and ultimately went back to. It might work out for you. Good luck.

    I'll be too low. Even if it clears the rail you're going to find it too low to establish a good consistent comfortable cheek weld.
