Hello, I'm wanting to do an m24 clone-ish build, (Remington 700 LA reciever, HS Precision stock, Leopold mk4 scope, and m24 contour barrel) but I'm running into some confusion on the barrel specs. I know that the m24 has a 24" barrel with 5R rifling and a 1/11.25 twist rate. However, as I was searching for a good source for the contoured blank, I noticed that there was some variation between the m24 contour barrel dimensions listed by different manufacturers. Here a few examples:

I know that Rock Creek originally made them for the army, so I assume theirs is correct. However, unfortunately they're not available right now. I was hoping to order from Preferred Barrel Blanks because they're the cheapest and they're a local company that I'd like to support, but I want to make sure that dimensionally, their barrel is going to be dimensionally "clone correct". Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.
