I have an opportunity to get either one with zero wait time.
I want both but only one will come home.
I have a bunch of parts for the m24 like sights kit, MIRS rail, that’s a big plus.
I really like the M40a5 too, I may just flip a coin.

I’m a little biased because I’m a Marine, but I always thought the M40 was cooler because they were built by the Corps, vs bought from remington. The A5 has way better glass if you're going full clone.

Thank you for the comment doesn’t get more authentic than that and I agree with you on that right there.

M40A5 is going to offer a better fit and more weight (less recoil) to you...not including the brake/suppressor adapter.

I have an M24 and love it, but I also have an FN SPR A2 (M40A3 ish).

Not to mention that the S&B PMII is head and shoulders above the Leupold Mk 4/M3 Ultra.

I'd take the M40A5 all day long if costs were close.

Thanks for the information and response
The cost are not a canyon apart not next door either but both are GAP builds.
I’m def in the M40a5 camp now.
