    Army M24 Build Thread

    Does anyone have a barrel profile drawing for the AE M24 can in 5/8×24? I seem to remember one floating around back in the day but can't seem to find it.

    Remington M24 ASA questions. Did they ship with a hard case?

    The Pelican iM3300 will be your best bet. There should still be plenty of sources of pre-cut foam for the M24A2 that will be fine for the M24. It is a little heavy, but so is any hard case of decent quality.

    Remington M24 ASA questions. Did they ship with a hard case?

    My ASA came in a generic rifle case (Plano ProMax PillarLock Scoped Rifle Case), it was garbage. The only hard case that came with the original system is the Hardigg deployment case. Additionally there was an Allen Soft Case, and an Eagle drag bag on the Additional Authorized List.

    Did the A2s that were built on PST013s have Remington marked buttpads or HS Precision marked?

    highest quality hearing protection?

    "Double up" by using a single good pair + a suppressor. ;)

    highest quality hearing protection?

    +1 to the Otto Noizebarriers. I cant recommend them enough. I've also had them for about 4 years. I use the large flanges and have had no fatigue. Longest I've worn them straight has been about 8 hours, and I regularly forget that they're in until I'm driving home. They do come with a variety...

    WTB: Badger Ordnance 306-85 Rem 700 Detachable Mag Bottom Metal

    Looking for a Badger 306-85 bottom metal for a Long Action BDL inlet as seen on the M24A2.

    I may have been the only one who didn't know this... But the Badger 306-59-3 side rail for the EFR and IMUNS (which is still fairly available from various retailers) appears to be the same as the ones Badger used on the Remington MARS. If you have a MARS without side rails, these fit perfect.

    Virgin brass VS. once fired brass for load development

    There's definitely people out there with a much more intelligent and scientific outlook on this matter than me. But I subscribe to the notion that because most of the rounds fired through my barrels will be loaded from fired cases, I develop loads on fired brass. Ideal scenario for me is to...

    Need help remembering AR manufacturer??

    Hoping this is a "I'd know it if I heard it" situation. Lancer Systems comes to mind when I hear Bartlein barrels.

    I also wonder if the bottom metal change occurred after the Army guns were complete. Also, OPS Inc definitely had a .30 cal 12th Model. It was 11" long compared to the 3rd Model's 12.5"

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Hi all, it looks like I'm going to be taking the M24 in the direction of an A2 clone. I am slowly finding out though that the M24A2 is a unicorn when it comes to references of the rifles that made it into country. I'm curious as to the story behind the retrofit as the three specific A2...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Awesome. I was unable to find Federal GM762M2 (which I understand is essentially Mk316 Mod 0) so I picked up a box of GM308M2. So I should be able to fire, and reload the GM308M2 out of the M24 with no issues? Do we know if the GM762 and GM308 even use different brass?

    Army M24 Build Thread

    What are you guys feeding your 24s? I'm new to the rifle, and new to .308 altogether. Any issues with commercial .308 (specifically Federal GMM .308) with regard to the whole .308 vs 7.62x51 headspace? Handloaders, do you limit yourselves to the thicker 7.62 NATO brass?
