    Army M24 Build Thread

    I like that one too!! Question: Did the optics case fit well in that case set-up? It looks like that was the iM3300 case with the Armageddon Gear bag. I have the same setup with the Pelican 1750 and the optics case will not fit with everything else in place.

    Nice XM2010! These rifles are serious hardware. Mine is accurate, smooth handling, and comfortable to shoot too.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I do the same as Trigger Monkey, alternating the tightening between the front and rear bolts gradually tightening. When I can tell I'm close, I break the front bolt first, then the rear. Not sure that is necessary, but consistency can't hurt. I do not add any extra clicks. I don't apply any...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I haven't seen stamped marks, but have seen a lot of marks in that location that appeared to be left over from the fabrication of the cases. I had a few extra cases at one point a few years ago. All the extras are now in the hands of fellow collectors!

    M1 Garand

    What is it that you are wanting to have done? I have used Shuff's parkerizing and can recommend them. I had them refinish the metal on a late WWII Garand and was very happy with the outcome. https://shuffsparkerizing.com/services/parkerizing/

    Xm2010 Bolt Questions

    Those may well have been what my short action action bolt was for. I bet a lot of projects ended abruptly at Remington.

    Xm2010 Bolt Questions

    You're right. The more time that goes by, the less that this will be remembered. I've never seen a US marked RR (or G) prefix receiver, but I don't doubt you a bit. One puzzling bolt I found has a two tone rem-tuff/sandstrom finish with a M magnaflux mark, but is a SHORT ACTION bolt. What...

    Xm2010 Bolt Questions

    I hadn't thought much about the G prefix being the first 2010 receivers, but that makes sense. Logistically the US C prefix M24's had to be returned and rebuilt. That had to be a phased/staged process to keep enough rifles in service. Looking through some FOIA responses, the earliest confirmed...

    Xm2010 Bolt Questions

    Thanks for the information and observations for the Remington bankruptcy inventory. I obviously haven't seen the G prefix example with the M24 type finish you described. From that info, it sounds like there must have been was a spec change at some point. I've observed a number of examples: -...

    Xm2010 Bolt Questions

    My understanding was that the US military XM2010 bolts did not have the same finish or markings as the M24 bolts, specifically that the 2010 bolts did not have the two-tone Rem-Tuff/Sandstrom Dry Film finish and did not have the magnaflux (circled M) marking. The receiver and barrel finish was...

    M1C / MC-52 scope

    The second type with the FSN number and rounded levers. Nice.

    M1C / MC-52 scope

    Based on the finish, it looks like your scope with the raised adjustment knobs was the second type scope from the second purchase. Which mount do you have? Here is a link to a post I made about 10 years ago that shows pictures of the first type and second type MC-1 scopes and mounts...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    What rings were used on the XM2010? I understand that they were Badger Ordnance 4 screw rings, and I assume they were steel. What specific model and height were used?

    British Broad Arrow marked Alaskan

    This thread has some better information and pictures, see post #22. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/the-m73-lyman-alaskan-scope-from-wwii-which-became-the-m81-for-the-m1c-garand-sniper.7105670/

    British Broad Arrow marked Alaskan

    Nice one! I'm no expert on this version, but the S marked versions were adopted for the Canadian no. 32 TP during WWII, under contract to the Canadian government.

    M82 USGI sniper scope

    I wrote an article on the Wollensak M82’s for the Summer 2013 edition of the GCA Journal. If you have a copy it has some history and pictures of the markings, etc. Lyman was the first contractor and made about 14,000 scopes. Wollensak made over 2,000 scopes. Wollensak delivered their first...

    Do not deal with The Hogs Den

    Sorry to hear about the issues some of you have reported. I dealt with TMA on two rifles, an M40A3 and an M40A1. These were completed in mid 2015 and early 2016. They must have been from the PWS era discussed above. I was pleased with what I received. They looked all correct when I went...

    U.S. Army/Navy/USMC M14-based sniper and DMR/SDM rifles circa late-1960s to late 201Xs

    Great pics. Here is one of my favorites, alongside an M110. Have any of you seen any crossover use of the KAC one piece M110 mounts on an M14? I know the Leupold FDE scopes were used on the M14's but I have never seen the one piece mount in use on an M14.

    Lyman Alaskan?

    Correct. There is a very high probability that they were all part of the military purchase, but no conclusive link tying the B prefix Lyman Alaskan's directly to the order referenced in the documents. cplnorton has stated that he has found further documents that may provide further proof.
