4-16x42 PM II. It has the PR Gen II Mil dot, so I'm not even sure if it was built by S&B. I heard somewhere that PR built the S&B's that had their reticles in them. These may have seen limited use use in service, but I think the one with Horus reticle were more common, and they weren't common either. As far as I know S&B doesn't make this model anymore. I was told this was a T&E scope, but I have no way to verify or care really. It's a great scope.Damn that S&B looks good on there. What model is that??
PR built many 3-12's, 4-16's, and 5-25's in house, Germany would send parts and PR would build them. Mostly they got Gen 2 or Gen 2 XR reticles (4-16 and 5-25 only) but PR installed Horus reticles too. Horus would send several reticles but they were generally shit quality so you got what you got. There are pics of USMC Recon using some 4-16's with Horus reticles and an Army SMU used them, another government agency put in an order but I believe they switched at the last minute and got 5-25's. The crux of the 4-16 is its lack of elevation adjustment but otherwise it was an excellent scope.4-16x42 PM II. It has the PR Gen II Mil dot, so I'm not even sure if it was built by S&B.

I could definitely see this as an issue with any larger caliber than .308. For the .308, it seems just about perfect as it will get me out to ~1200yds.PR built many 3-12's, 4-16's, and 5-25's in house, Germany would send parts and PR would build them.

nope, got this one from the smith building my rifleIs that the one going through D Wilson? I can help ya out with some pics if it is
I am pretty sure they are 6-48 thread pitch, same as the rear sight base holes.Can anyone confirm for me the front sight base is 8-40 screw thread ? I cant seem to get a hold of Ok webber.
You are correct..Thank youI am pretty sure they are 6-48 thread pitch, same as the rear sight base holes.
Damn where’d you find that?Excellent way to close out the yearView attachment 7771351View attachment 7771352
Earliest I've seen. My 24r is all initial issue except the barreled action. Tempted to build off this.That could be a pretty early receiver, my M24 was C658.... and it was built in 1991 according to Remington.
YesDamn where’d you find that?
That could be a pretty early receiver, my M24 was C658.... and it was built in 1991 according to Remington.
Just to be clear here folks before everyone gets too excited, the serial number range doesn't necessarily denote the date it was manufactured into a working firearm from Remington. The receivers are built in batches, serialized and then they're binned. Some of these receivers would be picked and taken into the Remington Custom Shop M24 line and assembled. The actual birthdate for the weapon is depicted on the barrel code. This is my 1988 M24 which was delivered to the Army either in the first lot of 100 in Oct 1988 or the second lot of 100 in December 1988.The NRA Museum serial number is higher!
The bolt forward of the bolt handle was coated in dry film lube, the handle and the rear portion, the firing pin and housing, were powdercoated. The underside of the bolt handle has the serial number letter prefix and the last four of the serial number engraved (stamped) matching it to the receiver.Long time lurker as well. Here's the beginnings of my build. Barrel blank is Rock Creek's M24 profile with the correct twist rate.
I still need the rest of the parts, including a bolt. Were they blued, jeweled, or stainless under the coating?

It is alot better than the Leupold 10X on my M24!4-16x42 PM II. It has the PR Gen II Mil dot, so I'm not even sure if it was built by S&B.

M24 receivers would be marked "M24". M24's use long action receivers, M40-series rifles used a short action.Are GAP rifles good clone builds?
Also, we have a line on a number of Rem 700 receivers, but not M24 marked. Were all M24 riles marked M24? Maybe these were M40.
DOD Small Arms (excluding "Black Weapons") are documented in the DOD Small Arms Master Registry. Classified serials (including commercial buys) are handled separately. A FOIA request for M24 - M2010 conversion should get you what you want.The M24 serial numbers should be able to be found through an FOIA request to the Army or DoD, unless they are still classified.
Nope. Send a request, get an answer. Plenty of guys have gotten them for the surplus/return Sig M17s lately.Decades ago I called John Unertl at his house hoping to get info on the 10X. His wife answered and basically told me to pound salt, they wouldn't give any info out due to the scope still being classified material. Same thing when I called Leupold asking for info about the M3alpha. At the time, it was an uncatalogued item not available to civilians. I went ahead and wrote a magazine article on it, but it lacked detailed info.
Sinister your suggestion of a FOIA request sounds good. Have you ever filed one previously? I'd like to try. Does it require some official reason to request the info?
That guy is a freaking giant!Egyptian Special Forces with M24:
Would imagine it's the same set up as the IDF have/had. It's a thread on brake.Didnt the Egyptian M24 come with these muzzle comps threaded on? This pic was recovered weapons from a bombing. It may be their version of flash hider for night vision use. Thats an Aquila 6X AN/PVS-12
I have a higher OK Weber style front dovetail. I can toss it in the box that's going out today if you want it. I don't have a use for it. The rear should be on OK Weber's web site.Anyone have a lead on the iron sight bases (front and rear) I need to locate a set for my rifle and I can’t seem to find any.
Thanks! I need them haha. I’ll pay for itI have a higher OK Weber style front dovetail. I can toss it in the box that's going out today if you want it. I don't have a use for it. The rear should be on OK Weber's web site.
Just realized OkWebers site is gone. I was going to order the sights off there but waited to long.
Does anyone know what happened or why?
I stumbled across champions choice from the old M24 thread. Looks like theHe died a few years ago. His wife Ellen's been liquidating stock since.
Go to Champion's Choice in Tennessee.
Do you know what height you need to match your rear sight? This is 3/8 inch:
Yes, I developed it. The USR came about because there were a number of foreign countries that were looking for sniper systems but didn't want to spend $7K+ on one. Additionally the environment that their snipers would be working in was predominately Urban. On top of that our LE sales side was looking for something to promote to US LEA.
