    Thanks. That is what I thought, but someone was telling me that they used the other AR type extractor.

    Quick question, does the M2010 bolt have the standard Remington 700 magnum extractors, or did some have the bolt with the AR type extractors?

    The M73 Lyman Alaskan Scope from WWII, which became the M81 for the M1C Garand Sniper

    I feel the same way, there's something about that first block of M1C serial numbers. Look closely though, those are two different rifles.... I picked out one at the North Store, then after I got home I noticed that it's consecutive numbered sister had been on the rack. I spotted the number on...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Very true. I wonder who has the Remington files now? The M24 serial numbers should be able to be found through an FOIA request to the Army or DoD, unless they are still classified. I have tried to ask some details from Leupold before without much luck, but I know they have the records.

    The M73 Lyman Alaskan Scope from WWII, which became the M81 for the M1C Garand Sniper

    I thought that might be the case. I have an M82 where the mount screws must have been staked with 2 lb. ball peen hammer. No way they are ever coming loose. ha! Dave

    The M73 Lyman Alaskan Scope from WWII, which became the M81 for the M1C Garand Sniper

    Random Guy and cplnorton,: The B prefix Lyman Alaskans are the scopes referred to in the Lyman ad and the 3,000 scopes referred to in the 1951 letter. The Fall 2004 GCA Journal has a good summary of all of the M73/M81, M81, M82 and B Prefix Lyman Alaskans. Dave

    The M73 Lyman Alaskan Scope from WWII, which became the M81 for the M1C Garand Sniper

    cplnorton: Can you read the original 4 digit Lyman Alaskan serial number? The first 3 digits look like 515_. We know that the commercial Lyman Alaskans put into military use were not serialized in the order of the commercial serial numbers. I have two of these early M73/M81 scopes: 31681 has...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I had a conversation with another member about M24 receiver serial number and marking variations. The following are some observations I have made on the M24R serial number and marking variations from the Remington rebuild program that were released commercially. I appears to me that they...
