    Army M24 Build Thread

    Taking pics of this spotter to sell online. Then saw what appeared to be the green hue of a laser protection filter on the front objective lens. I've owned it for over 10 years. Its a Bausch & Lomb Elite 15~45X60 that was advertised as a Litton M144. I assumed it was just a standard B&L model...

    One of the TM says to use a boot lace to remove the fp assembly. These are the K.W.Kleinendorst tools mentioned

    Have to assume these spec sheets came from that $35,000 special machine that measured trigger pull/retention within 1/10th of 1 ounce in the Illion custom shop? Would be interesting to know where its at now after the reorganization? The parts you have are outstanding

    I figured you owned one Bmx. Does your lever rotate past "DAY" at 3 o'clock? Mine hits a detent at Day, but it can go to about 4o'clock. I unscrewed the lever, and it only has one position with no adjustability.

    Thats the basics of AN/PVS-10 SNS. In its day these were advanced technology. Built tough enough to handle .50bmg recoil. Then clip-ons took over with their full length real estate top rails & side mounts. Now its going thermal, and color thermal w/GPS & laser targeting. Got this rig from a...

    The left buttons control the tube gain. Right side control reticle brightness. Front dial is for front objective focusing.

    Illuminated reticle. There is also a low-battery warning led that blinks in the upper rt. 2 AA last 24hrs supposedly.

    Objective lens is 3 1/2" wide. Big piece of glass. There is a Laser Interference Filter LIF that screws on front. Like the M3alpha EMA laser filter. Front cover doubles as a sunshade in the stowed position. There's also a slip on rubber tube accessory that extends further.

    Eyeguard is a rubber tube to keep from illuminating shooters face, prevent scope-eye, and protect optics. None of the pics Ive seen have this thing in place. I slapped on a butler creek.

    Definitely a top heavy sonofabitch. But now I got a legit reason to buy a Manfrotto & Hog Saddle

    Attaches to the M24 rail same as the M3a, spacing is configured to match either set of slots. The TM describes an interesting process for mounting: Tighten both nuts to 65in/#'s using torque wrench. Then repeat torquing three more times each.

    Ive heard both sides of that opinion, some saying it was better than the McCann MIRS.

    This is the cutoff sensor. It conserves battery life, and protects the tube from damage if the scope is left in night mode during daylight. It reads down to 4 foot-candles of illumination & automatically shuts off the intensifier within 70 seconds. It gets overridden when the front lens cap is...

    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...

    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.
