Mine arrived today, I got to cut the box opened myself. Mine has been several colors but was repainted flat black before turn-in. The bi-pod was left deset camo, there are traces of desert camo under the front scope cap. I'll fiddle with the stock but the adjustments are extremely tight and cannot be hand turned. The scope is an 89 dated M3a, the spares kit, sling, manual and no iron sights. The Hardigg case is in excellant shape, the scope box is pretty trashed and has been traveling far more often than the full case. Everything appears to be honest wear and looks pretty typical of the gear that accompanied the M24's I've seen on duty.
I happened to have an issued M24 accessory kit, it came with drag bag, mil-dot master,vane wind meter, sniper log, kill flash and polarized filter. I had a flash hider from an eariler trade. My M24 related stuff is in good shape.
Tomorrow, I'll brave the weather and get to the range for a little testing and report the results.
Awesome, looking forward to some pictures. Did you get a nice paint job on yours?
whats the latest news on these? Is it still possible to put an order in for one? I guess I would fall in the Cat 2 (active but not sniper qualified).. thanks for any input.

iPhone pic. I have had this for about six months. I have not taken it out. Cat II purchase.
Beautiful rifle . I am jealous of the camo job on yours. That's exactly what I was hoping to get.
Which iron sights used to come with the M24 I have Palma International rear and the front sights I bought years back when CMP was selling them,some still in the wrap.
Received mine a month ago. From initial contact with Remington Defense to shipment the total time was approximately 30 days. Sorry for the low res photos; I will send more when I get back from Baghdad and get a chance to shoot it.

Thanks! I have yet to run across one that wasn't sub-minute. Speaking of which here is my current m24. 3,500 + rounds in the log book and it's still keyholing shots at the one hundred yard line.

I have one on its way. I bought it privately though, not through the program. My lack of time in the service left me really dangling and waiting for the right time/moment/opportunity to pick one up when it came available. The term "beggars can't be choosers" was my situation. Unfortunately I won't put hands on it until at least late April when I'm due my next vacation. Although my wife will go through everything for me, inventory the pieces / parts and take details pictures of everything.
One aspect I will need schooling on are the BUIS. I've read quite a bit on the changes over the years but when putting it to practical hands on I might need some assistance. The current owner hasn't even opened the sights package so couldn't verify exactly what was in it or the combination of pieces. It's a late 2012 rebuild and the accessory kit was put together in late Feb 2013 so I am hoping the sights match as parts inventory should have been pretty good at that point. Time will tell of course.
That's pretty neat that you will be getting the iron sights. The majority of us are not getting them with our rifles unfortunately.
Exactly. I'm remaining cautiously optimistically that the sites are correct. Next will be to find or have a flash hider made which would complete the kit for me. Then time to buy some ammo and see what she likes. Any recommendations from you guys that shoot these on a regular basis (FGMM 168, 175 or)?
Finally arrived anticipation is over worth the wait,just a few pictures try to get better ones,no iron sights but has the OK Weber bases,I have redfield palma but will not fit.
You guys should post your mismatched iron sight parts and then see if you can trade around so that everybody has a matching set.
