    Army M24 Build Thread

    Not the best picture (been on the road a lot and haven't taken it outside, yet), but I finally got hands on the M24 I asked about a few pages back. It's in beautiful shape, RR prefix. I've got everything except a true Redfield rear sight base and correct L&S optic. I grabbed a rear sight base...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I'm pretty sure my old M24 had the rear sight base with the corner cut out to accommodate the scope ring. Cant find old pictures right now to confirm. But I did find that one from a British target shooting company

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Found it! Now I need to nail down the exact height lol. I've heard the A base, but I've seen originals marked B before. Not sure if they're related or have different meanings. Edit: btw, you guys are life savers! Thanks again!

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I would be ok with repro sights if they're correct to form. Yep, confirmed the front sight holes are threaded. The screws come with it but the base itself isn't present. Do you happen to know the part number from Freelands or the hole spacing and such of the front sight? Checking google now.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I went ahead and claimed that 24. I'll update when I receive it. Already tracked down the scope base. Soon I'll hunt down the sight bases and an optic. It came to the current owner from a PD trade in, I believe. Sounds like they removed the bases? I'm not sure but everything is threaded for the...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I'm fairly certain it's not lol. He does have some feedback on the platform I found it on. And has been very easy/normal to communicate with. I thought the same thing though. It's a great price, not quite great enough to be too good to be true I think.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Good points, and thanks! The buttpad isn't as big of a deal as the overall form of the gun. If I get it I'll be tracking down at least the sight bases and the one-piece scope base we used. I'll check on the twist rate

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Yeah I did some searching online and thought it sounded like BS. But the markings were odd as well. I'm looking into an RR prefix M24 marked gun that is supposedly a police trade-in. Appears to be in great shape, but it doesn't have the iron sight bases. Looking into the RR prefix and police...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I realize I'm late to the party on easily getting an M24. I had a couple of questions for anyone that can help. First is regarding the receiver markings. I came across a rifle with shallow receiver markings that don't look like the clean receiver markings I remember from the M24 (attached...

    Rifle Scopes Value of Leupold? MK4 3.5-10x40 M1 knobs TMR reticle

    I agree on about $800. Depends who you're selling to. I'm interested to see answers though. I have this same scope with a FFP reticle that I'm selling to upgrade.

    neck expander....

    I'll second the FL sizing suggestion. I've actually been neck sizing, then expanding. Using a Redding bushing die followed by a Sinclair Gen II mandrel. The bushing is just enough to size the neck down enough so my mandrel will touch the I.D. so I can get uniform tension and not have to worry as...

    OCW/COAL question

    Just got back from the range. Got some good data to go off of. I started at my min charge and worked up in .4gr increments to max. No signs of over-pressure. I seated all bullets to match 175gr FGMM. After I explore this node a little further I will start playing with seating depth. My...

    OCW/COAL question

    Pinecone, that was my plan once I find a charge. Dauntedfuture, why drop the charge 1gr? Just curious.

    OCW/COAL question

    Ok thanks for the replies! I couldn't think of any reason it would work out one way or the other. Just checking my work haha. I'll do a set of the old recipe, at magazine length and the old OAL, and report back this weekend. Charlie, that's the best answer I could come up with by myself.

    OCW/COAL question

    Not yet. Just going to see if there was anything that I'm missing before I load the rounds tonight. I'm going to load some similar to the previous recipe for sighters and to just see how it works.

    OCW/COAL question

    Ok first I want to apologize if this seems like I'm rambling on. Ive been doing just that and my wife is tired of it lol. Long story short, I developed a load with my Rem 700 before I got it set in a Manners stock w/ a Badger M5 DBM. Now that the rifle is back I realized my previous load...

    COAL question on .308 700p

    I ave actually been wondering about this as well. I'm in a similar situation and I'm not sure how this would affect my load development. I'm limited by my AI magazine length as well

    Norma 202 powder

    Wow good info, thanks! I'm on my phone so I can't see the pics right now but those numbers make me feel better. I really appreciate the work, I haven't found that thread before either. Sounds like I've got some work to do. As soon as my new expander die gets here I'll be ready to load. In...
