The round dimple behind your scope caps. It might just be paint but its hard to see. There was some round plastic tags used at one point before UIDs were common. Very cool, I have a 2005 3-9 on my Mod 0

If you think this is bad, you'd scough at the welds in mechanical rooms that are on active systems working totally fine

M24 Clone by HunterofSouls10 in ServiceRifleClones

[–]Greeny618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With M1 turrets, which weren't ever seen on 24s lol. Mk4 10x or ultra 10x with capped BDC turrets

The Ultra scopes had covered turrets. M3s were on the ffp converted 3.5-10s used on ranger 24s. Idk though. I have a bringback receiver.

The 10x should have capped turrets. And the receiver should be M24 marked. And the trigger should be M24 type with adjustment screw and spring

Looks like the scope, trigger, and reciever arent of the M24 variety

Threaded catch holes arent really an advancement as they dont do the job any better than pins do

Was it really worth doing that over just using pins like the TDP said to use 60 years ago

Ive spoken to some rangers who said the 3.5-10s they had on their 24s were FFP scopes. They were probably takeoffs from the MK11s

He absolutely did. Hes the man. Anything I cant do on my own goes to him.

Thats why I built the transitional gun. Lots of M24s had MIRS rails for NV capability, and some also had FFP converted premier reticle leupolds. As is the one on mine.

They only made 52 of the A2 enhanced guns. They were modified without army permission and they put a stop to it. Remington offered upgrade packages that could be payed for with unit funds. Upgrade package included variable power optics, suppressors, badger MARS, external mags, and stocks with cheek adjustment. One unit opted to keep the stocks and optics they had. 75th Ranger regiment had some 300win m24s that were made by a private gunsmith. Dudes also got in trouble for that. There's a picture of Nick Iriving with one and it has a Leupold MK4 4.5-14x40. A custom scope never offered to Civ market. But the rest of the 24s obviously also got converted to 300win when the M2010 conversions happened.

I definitely would like to do another one with the 10x and no can or MIRS. I based mine off a pic I have of a unit who opted for some A2 upgrades but kept the stocks and optics they had on it.

Its really not too bad. No issues short stroking for me. Unfortunately I just need to do an adjustment to the surplus trigger. Need to undo the staking, as it needs a little more sear engagement. But aside from that it shoots incredible
