M-24 SWS powerpoints or classes

[noonanda]

Hey all, I am looking for any classes or info some of you might have on the M-24 SWS. I already have the TM for it looking for whatever else I can find. I am an instructor teaching Marine advisors going to Afghanistan, and one of our teams will be training/teaching Afghan scout sniper teams using the M-24. Being a Marine we deal with the M-40s and I have many SS buddies who could get me that info, but the M-24 is an Army weapon and aint having any luck finding anything.
Any help would be appreciated

Re: M-24 SWS powerpoints or classes

Tell your Marines to just teach them the basics of shoot, move, and communicate. but not any specifics about the rifle. They never get it, and explaining dope and how to sight in the rifle is near impossible. Hell, the SS team we built, their snipers couldn't even hit the 100m zero target after we zeroed it for them.

Also that information is better kept out of the hands of the corrupt ass ANA. Teach them how to use the 24 effectively and you will be dealing with a bad guy using a 24 effectively on you.

The concept of a ANA SS team is and was ridiculous. They don't have the ability to move at night due to not having night vision, they don't vet members of the teams, they have no light or noise discipline, and they don't have the logistics to support them.

Sorry I can't get behind helping you out on this, even though I know you are just doing your job. I really would like to help, but I know the consequences.

Re: M-24 SWS powerpoints or classes

Ive got a lot of buddies that are "Scout Snipers" who were pissed with the last 2 big publicity flaps involving Marine scout snipers. The flag, well hell I know a lot of guys that had that flag and they sure were not "Nazis" LOL.
I think the SSgt is more looking cause he dont know anything about it, he knows the 40 but not the M-24. I told him its the same action but Im sure that is about it.
I figured Id ask here, If you can help you cant help, no harm no foul. I'll just keep searching

Just teach them the M-40. Its the same thing in a slightly longer action with a different stock. Operation and maintenance are the same.
