    Army M24 Build Thread

    Ive heard MIRS can shear off mounting bolts from impact to its forward rail section. MARS probably the same, especially with smaller bolts? The procedure to rethread your existing 6-48 holes to 8-40 is not complicated if you have basic skills. Spacing & hole alignment has already been done at...

    Any reason you don't want to just open the holes up and rethread to the correct size?

    Wow, nice swipe. You paid less than I did back in the 90's. Leupold & Stevens will lifetime warranty those scopes unless it needs parts they no longer have in stock. Run it through a box test at your range to confirm its tracking correctly. And give L&S a call to ask if they can send you an...

    The RR serial number, and 2013 issue date, is not understood by me. Can someone explain how an M24 with RR prefix and 2013 in-service date happens?

    I think I tried the FOIA. But got no reply back. However, believe the post here that described the process had some kind of typo in the email addy. Do you know the website, or what page of this thread it was posted on? I've read many of your posts here, and always very informative, so a...

    What steel is he using these days for his 5R's? I just bought a Ruger Precision Rifle in .308, and they all come with an in-house Ruger manufactured 5- R CHF 1/10" 4140 steel. Not stainless like Remington made. Havn't shot it yet to see how nice it is.

    I wasn't competing back when dinosaurs roamed 😉 But by the time I did start, every range officer of whichever club I was shooting at usually offered to trade for my issued .30-06 Match allotted (64 rounds?) ammo, for some variation of 7.62 surplus scrounged cartridges they had dragged along...

    The shorty SR-25K is a good possibility. I just never saw any documentation or drop charts for it prior to Radom Guys post. Still got half a box of them sitting from like 30+ years ago. Used to reload for my SIG PE-57 (semi StGw57) in 7.5 Swiss because it duplicated the Schweizer Armee standard...

    This is the reason M852 has the striations around the case, to provide a tactile feel so a sniper didnt accidentaly chamber these cartridges and shwack an enemy with it 😇
