    Army M24 Build Thread

    Buyer beware on this Gunbroker auction: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/927739368 The description looked familiar to me, especially the first sentence about the rifle being "leased by Remington to the U.S. Army for training in 2006." A quick search found the Rock Island Auction where I had...

    How well did the M24 triggers hold up in the field? Did the sand and grit cause excessive wear?

    Nice, within about 100! What is that bottom metal on now?

    History of the SR25

    The waffle mags were an alloy with a metal follower. I understand that the first one were actually modified Armalite magazines.

    History of the SR25

    Thanks for the added information. I would like to see Knights write up some history on the early development and sales of the SR-25's. The first rifle pictured above still has the preservative tube in the barrel, it was just removed for the pictures. It has the original Gun Guard case and...

    History of the SR25

    The dates on these pictures are interesting, August 1992 and January 1993. The early civilian sales of the SR-25 Match Rifles were happening almost in parallel. The markings look slightly different (address on the right vs. left), but the configuration appears to be the same.

    Thanks. That is what I thought, but someone was telling me that they used the other AR type extractor.

    Quick question, does the M2010 bolt have the standard Remington 700 magnum extractors, or did some have the bolt with the AR type extractors?

    The M73 Lyman Alaskan Scope from WWII, which became the M81 for the M1C Garand Sniper

    I feel the same way, there's something about that first block of M1C serial numbers. Look closely though, those are two different rifles.... I picked out one at the North Store, then after I got home I noticed that it's consecutive numbered sister had been on the rack. I spotted the number on...

    Very true. I wonder who has the Remington files now? The M24 serial numbers should be able to be found through an FOIA request to the Army or DoD, unless they are still classified. I have tried to ask some details from Leupold before without much luck, but I know they have the records.

    The M73 Lyman Alaskan Scope from WWII, which became the M81 for the M1C Garand Sniper

    I thought that might be the case. I have an M82 where the mount screws must have been staked with 2 lb. ball peen hammer. No way they are ever coming loose. ha! Dave

    The M73 Lyman Alaskan Scope from WWII, which became the M81 for the M1C Garand Sniper

    Random Guy and cplnorton,: The B prefix Lyman Alaskans are the scopes referred to in the Lyman ad and the 3,000 scopes referred to in the 1951 letter. The Fall 2004 GCA Journal has a good summary of all of the M73/M81, M81, M82 and B Prefix Lyman Alaskans. Dave

    The M73 Lyman Alaskan Scope from WWII, which became the M81 for the M1C Garand Sniper

    cplnorton: Can you read the original 4 digit Lyman Alaskan serial number? The first 3 digits look like 515_. We know that the commercial Lyman Alaskans put into military use were not serialized in the order of the commercial serial numbers. I have two of these early M73/M81 scopes: 31681 has...
