    Army M24 Build Thread

    MescaBug thanks for posting the detailed photos. Now that I see how the foam is cut close up I'm less concerned about how mine will look hand cut with x-acto blades. If you look at strapworks.com they have various nylon cargo straps in 1" and 1.5" in various lengths with a variety of metal...

    Yes it was the P/N 50042 that you found on their website-thanks again for digging that up! I would guess that they use inside dimensions for their measurements, I took mine all external, and length and width were measured at the widest point, which is the flange where the upper and lower halves...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I just received the Flambeau case that james_bond_007 linked to and it appears (without the benefit of direct comparison) to be very similar if not the same case.... It fits into the space in the foam perfectly and looks the same less the straps and foam liner of course. The case measures...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Picked up my Hardigg case from the PO box, its the one that was linked from here a month or so ago. Its in good shape, good foam, good seals just a few scratches on the exterior for character. I have ordered a Pelican 1120, and the Flambeau case listed above. Will update once the Flambeau case...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Just checked my front sight base and it's close but not exact at 1 1/8". I made a guesstimate based on photos but now have the true measurement for next barrel! As always this thread has excellent details on the specs. MescaBug there is a formula for sight movements which takes the thread...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I emailed HS and asked if I could purchase a bare butt plate, less recoil pad and hardware, will wait to see what they say. Figured I could have it drilled for the 2 screws and attach a factory Remington (old style) PSS style recoil pad to it and not have to butcher my existing one.... On...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Early M24s came with a Redfield Palma rear sight and Redfield International "Big Bore" front sight. I don't know the specific time frame of the change. Later models came with an RPA Trakker rear sight and (I'm guessing here) and RPA fixed front sight -used to have one looked a lot like the...

    I see what you mean, they have changed the style! My old 2008 vintage MLR had the proper style "Remington" marked recoil pad. Time to start checking Cabelas for old stock or eBay perhaps......

    I think you can get Remington recoil pads from Brownell's, but I don't know what it takes to remove the old "HS PRECISION" one from the stock. I need to do the same on mine, but was going to refer to the photos here for thickness and then order a black factory pad off a 700 PSS or similar. The...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Got up to the range this week and zeroed the M24 build, used a box of FGMM and tried some hand loads with 175 SMK, Some of the groups were fired with the M40A5 build which was also zeroed during the same range session.

    m40a3 base

    The M40A3 uses a 30 MOA base made by DD Ross for the USMC, but if I recall correctly he does not sell it unless he also machines your action to fit it. The Badger Ord base which is close is the 306-06UX, but its a 20 MOA base and the overall profile is a little lower than the Ross base. Its...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Mick Mcphee in Kamloops did the metal work. He builds really nice stuff. I'm pretty sure he sends it out for the coatings but I don't know to whom.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    M24 build back Finally got my M24 inspired build back from my smith, very happy with his work. The Gun-Kote finish on the barreled action is a little glossier than I would have liked (OCD strikes again) so I'm either going to scuff it up with a 400 grit or 600 grit scotch brite pad to dull it...

There are some different approaches for reloading, particularly sizing of belted magnum cases that may shed some light...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    I'd be up for one too (cost permitting) I missed one by minutes on Options and Accessories a couple of years ago :(. I know they change zero and are really only for use with the PVS 10 but still score high in the "neat to have" dept. I suppose another issue might be muzzle diameter on clone...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Wasn't there someone selling those used plastic day optics cases on the Options and Accessories section here a few weeks ago? My ability to search the ads here is failing me but I thought they were asking $100 per case....I recall the seller even stated they could get more if the demand was there.

    Gunsmithing pgw efr inner diameter

    I measured my PGW EFR and it is between 1.250" and 1.300" inside diameter(didn't want to tear down the rifle so I measured from the front on the exterior eyeballing the caliper) The rifle was built using a Kreiger MTU profile barrel and it fits with good clearance. The barrel diameter is...
