M24 Prototype up for grabs

[redneckbmxer24]

Pretty cool piece of history here. They’re auctioning off an M24 prototype from the Remington archives. They’ll give you a letter of authenticity stating it came from the Remington archives as well if you ask.

That’s pretty cool. I used to follow them and JSE very closely on GB a couple years ago when the liquidation stuff first started coming to market. They had some cool shit early on then it turned into pages and pages of shotgun receivers.

Very cool, in the same B682 serial number block as the XM24 at the NRA Museum.

I can’t believe that rifle only went for $3K.

You should have seen the look on my face Saturday morning when I realized I won with my $3200 max bid. After it arrives it will be available for questions and photos if any one wants a closer look.

That's cool you won it for a great price. Seems like a lot of these types of auctions get a lot of attention and when people post about it, kinda takes away your hope that it falls through the cracks and not seen.

Those would definitely be appreciated in the M24 thread

I just found this post on a German language website, but the main poster uses english. Interesting info. He (screen name Wabbits), and a SFC Dave Zavits eventually tried using Bisonite to replace the aluminum bed blocks in a couple HS Precision stocks. He also mentions working with Mr Fred...

I’m withholding any judgment until we can discuss.

Well the M24 prototype arrived today. Somewhere between the auction photos and my house it picked up a Remington 700 logo on the side of the receiver and I just can’t. Too angry to discuss right now

It certainly isn't in the auction pics...
Please keep us posted!

oh man…. Yeah that thing would be going back

 

[jmar]

Wow, post pics please. That would mean they switched the entire rifle out, that seller doesn't have the ability/ permission to stamp or put Remington markings on anything. Big red flags.

 

[DR2366]

I sent an angry email…….I’m guessing someone sad we can’t sell this without a model number on the receiver.

I’m going to hang onto to my angry comments until I hear back from them.

I had a similar issue, but caught it before they shipped. It was for a U.S. marked M24 receiver. I called to verify that they were shipping the exact item in the GB listing. Good thing because it was a different M24 receiver, no U.S. markings. The guy said "what's the difference. They're all the same" I promptly told him to make sure it's the one they listed. They apparently have been clearing pallet-loads of Rem bankruptcy loot. And these people are just hired help, no clue about gun stuff. Definitely not collectors. Total shit show at times. Waited over 2 months to get a PSR component I won on GB.

I was kinda wondering about that since I’m just pretty sure you’re required to log a model and that needs to be marked on the gun as well.

Call and talk to D, he’s been very helpful and accommodating for me. I’ve bought several of these archive guns from them without issue.

Was it clearly a new stamp on the receiver with serial number?
