    Army M24 Build Thread

    I'm glad you had a chance to check in, it's been a few weeks since we've emailed. I was hoping that the flash hider being loaned out would have arrived but I'm remaining positive. Hopefully if things come along once you receive the hider and details come out, it will generate enough interest to...

    Talk me into a TRG22

    If budget is a concern like with many folks, the Sako has the upper hand over the AI. All but one person was quick to compare the TRG to the AIAW & AX. The only AI close to the price point of the TRG is an AE and even then you can buy a new TRG for sub-$3k from Euro Optic if you call and get a...

    Advice on first steps with .223 Remington 700 build

    As above, there are plenty of good stocks that come up for sale here on the Hide. HS Precision take off stocks (one of the easiest upgrades) from LTR/PSS/700R rifles and others. Most go for between $200-250, some with and some without bottom metal & internal magazine w/spring & follower. If...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Yes time is what's needed and many people are learning as we go along. There's a wealth of knowledge on the net and in these threads but there are times we do and will miss details. The floor plate you mentioned on GB belongs to a member here on the Hide. We don't have to look very far quite...

    M24-Rebuild anyone recieve one ?

    Besides on the hunt for a set of Ok Weber / RPA sites I'm hunting for an original EMR & ARD. Update: I've come up with an original EMA/ARD and waiting on an answer back from Drake Associates regarding some RPA sights.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I have an early EMA but it's missing the locking ring. I'm trying to chase down a short list of parts to complete my kit and think it'll be easier to find an EMA & ARD than actually finding a locking ring. That is unless anyone here knows where to find a ring or has one that would work. I'll...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Between this thread and the M24R (Remington M24 rebuild) thread there's a wealth of knowledge so say the very least. I recently acquired my M24R and am on the hunt for some pieces parts as with you guys building your own rifles. Besides working on a deal getting some flash hiders made I'm trying...

    Otte Gear vs Arc Teryx

    I'm always split between Otte / Arcteryx / Wild Things Tactical when looking at shells, both hard and soft. I have a few Otte jackets (2 Patrol & 1 DK Hybrid), have a ton of deadbird stuff from hard shells, soft shells, sweaters, long johns, base layers, you name it, and a couple things from...

    More bad news for NY

    I'm so tired of NY. Born, raised, own my own home, I've traveled & lived around the states and world but home is always home, it's where my family is but I'm just sick & fucking tired of it all. I love the rural living, the country side and small town attitudes but for the love of god...

    Building my 1st AR15. SPR-ish gun. Update.. Looking for a trigger now?

    Here's my SPR'ish parts gun. It's simple and all pieces parts that I'd picked up over time. The el'cheap-o barrel will probably be replaced but time will tell. If it does it'll be a Krieger when the budget allows. Otherwise it goes bang and bullets go downrange when the trigger is pulled...

    Gunsmithing Clip slotting for M40 base on M700

    I'd commented earlier about the idea on how Chad did Maguas receiver before details came out. It was different and I thought a good idea. If I'm not looking for a spec replica / clone M40A* receiver but a spin on the typical then it's fair game, it's custom. But this is my opinion and only...

    M24-Rebuild anyone recieve one ?

    My M24R arrived yesterday. As I'd mentioned before I bought it privately and it took a little bit of negotiating but it's at the house finally. As soon as my wife has time to take some pictures I'll get them posted. I'd assumed it had buis but as other buyers are finding with their kits...

    Bipod mount?

    I just went through this deal. Looking at all the different options including the QD offerings it was a bit mind twisting. To many to just pick and go without a bit of time to do some research. I'd used the standard KAC adapter in the past but wanted to give a QD option a try. My "problem" was...

    Gunsmithing Clip slotting for M40 base on M700

    I really like this ideal and way of machining the receiver for the lugged rail. Quick question Chad, I couldn't see well enough in the pictures but was the ejection port machined out similar to the M40A* & Rem 40X receivers? I just picked up a donor rifle and might be interested in having a...

    M40A3 build at PWS in Quantico COMPLETED!! Detailed pictures on 3rd pg Range report 4th pg

    Threads like this will only cost money. The more I think about it the more I might have to start collecting parts for an M40A3/5'ish build to keep my M24 company. I can't have a "real" M40A* but my M24 is the real deal. Like mentioned by another member, if I do this it won't be true to spec but...
