    Army M24 Build Thread

    Imho, it's a long shot Remington could still manufacture the M24. The main reason is they shuttered the Ilion, NY factory a few months ago. All the employees were let go who worked there. This is the location they built the M24, and those workers were the reason this rifle was a superior build...

    One of those details lost after the bankruptcy we may never know. I live a few hours away from Ilion, NY. I'd like to go there someday to meet the men & women who worked in the M24 gallery. Ask a few questions, gain some insight, maybe write a magazine article. I know there were some direct...

    Some finer details were this stock had a lot of overspray left on the aluminum bedding block mating surfaces that needed to be removed for a perfect fit with the reciever. Especially in the recoil lug recess. I also ran into a problem afterwards with the safety lever hanging up after...

    Serial # is 0545 that seems to indicate it was beyond the 500 range of the EuroOptic 500 units. Not sure of the exact starting number for this run. Interested if anybody has #'s over 500. Some of the other proofs are shown. "WN" barrel stamp indicates W=August/N=2019 assembly month. Bolt &...

    Trigger is the factory built M24 pattern with adjustment screw on trigger face. This one has no marking stamps. Prior posts have shown some variations of trigger markings on original issued units. These are pre-set at Remington to meet Army specs. Anyone familiar with the Walker designed Rem700...

    Barrel marking includes Remington full address which is an ATF requirement for civilian rifles, and the 7.62 NATO chamber. US Army issue only have caliber stamp.

    The earliest released rifles did not include the Leupold Mark 4 2-piece scope bases. EuroOptic said they would provide them to the purchasers. Im not sure how that worked out, but mine came with the Badger Ordnance M24 1-piece 0° cant mount. They also did not include the rear sight base, but...

    The trigger guard assembly is the 2-piece design bolted together with 2 allen screws. It does not display a Magnaflux proofmark. Stamped id appears the be SH (Sunny Hill), but possibly HS (H&S Precision), or even H8.

    These do not include the comb clearance area of original issued stocks. The stock coating is a textured finish, different from earlier issued versions that were smoother. Large Remington logo buttpad.

    The EuroOptic M24 Limited Edition rifle hasn't been discussed in much detail. Having recently acquired one from a Hide member, want to go over the specifics. These were a joint collaboration between EuroOptic, Remington Defense, and the Army Sniper Association. 500 rifles produced. Serial number...

    Makes you wonder what design they would have gone for if the muzzles could easily have been threaded on all the existing inventory.

    Remington M24/700 trigger is hard to safety

    This is a factory HS stock. There is a pocket machined into the aluminum bedding block for the safety lever. It had a small area that was interfering with the lever, but only when you moved it rearword into the safety position, not when moving it forward to the fire position. Thats why I assumed...

    Remington M24/700 trigger is hard to safety

    Lighter fluid flush is spilling a lot of graphite powder. The pins & screws all have deep stake punches, so wont be disassembling. My guess is at one point an inspection employee caught this safety lever hanging up, and the protocol repair was powdered graphite. I've discovered some bright spots...

    Remington M24/700 trigger is hard to safety

    I just seperated the stock & reciever. It's stock interference. Not sure why it only appears when going safe.
