    Are the barrels that PTG uses on these clones an actual Remington M24 5R hammer forged rifling?

    On of the best gunsmiths in history

    Central NY and Pennsylvania has always been an area with many precision minded smiths. I had to look up where Ackley lived, and it was upstate NY.

    On of the best gunsmiths in history

He spent his final years in a nearbye town in upstate NY. I used to call him for info and advice after he moved here. It was always...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I have been looking for M24SWS chamber dimensions Remington used with their factory hammer-forged 5R barrels. This chamber reamer offered by Pacific Tool & Gauge is spec'd for the M852/168gr round, but IT IS NOT TO SAAMI/CIP dimensions. I always suspected Remington used a custom/proprietary...

    Try Millers Gun Parts, on eBay. He makes reproduction Redfield 40X/700 rear bases. Not sure about front bases though.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Any gunsmith who installs barrels also knows how to drill/tap for sight bases. They just need to know the correct spacing dimensions. Those dimensions are dependent on which version of bases you choose. The last gunsmith I used was Greg Tannel of Gre-Tan Rifles, but he is not currently accepting...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    The original first issue sight bases were manufactured by Redfield, but they are long out of business. You can search for take-off parts on gunboards. But they are literally worth their weight in gold, meaning if you weighed the 2 bases, the sale prices are equivalent to what 14K gold sells for...

    No telling what's been discovered inside the custom shop since first article testing & production from October 1987. Have heard rumors PTG will be releasing a large lot of inventory soon. Get your checkbook ready. The DARPA titanium receivers just became available.

    I screenshot your ebay auction and saw its engraved for the M24. Nice! Can you give the nsn #'s for both ema and ard. Trying to figure out the timeframe both became available. The June 2003 update TM shows your EMA with the white alignment marking at the front. But theres no mention of the...

    This took me awhile to figure out. Apparently Bausch & Lomb/Bushnell started to include the LIF in their spotting scope lines Elite and Tactical. They also integrated the M22 Binocular killFlash Tenebraex ARD instead of the threaded-on unit. I also have a Rock Island Arsenal contract dated 2002...
