My build is moving along. I have bottom metal and lug incoming. Looking for leads on an E prefix receiver/bolt and a M24 trigger. Thanks for any help.

Accessories - M24 triggers for sale
I’ve got 6 Remington M24 triggers that I am selling. These triggers are out of my personal collection and were going to be used on a few clone rifles I was thinking about doing. Plans change so I’ll offer them up. I will sell these for $550.00 each, shipped to your door. Don’t bust my balls...

I’m constantly searching the web for donor rifles. I’m only look for 6 digit receivers. What would you be looking to spend to sacrifice a rifle for the donor parts? Are considering the return on selling residual parts, assuming worthy stock, BDL floor plate, etc.I’ll keep my eyes open.
ETA: check messages. I just saw one.

If you still need an M24 trigger, please shoot me a message. I have a few available that are less than the $550 that other people have M24 triggers priced at.
Thanks Ryan all set though. Those ones are sold out but someone else had one.
Looking forward to seeing some pictures of the finished product. I was fortunate to shoot my A3 bastard clone last weekend at the Vintage Match at Quantico. 800 yrd line….
Started on this site wanting an A3. Somehow acquired an A1. Now back on track.
Donor action in hand. Trigger shipping on Monday.
Trigger is now here. The person who sold it to me says he has three left. Anyone who has a need just message me and I’ll put you in contact with him.
I’ll still have to source some rings. Should be fun trying to find the correct GGG rings. Good times.
The very earliest M40A3's were made in December 2001 and supposedly those rifles had GG&G scope rings. The Marines used GG&G scope rings on the A3's for the next month or 2, and then swapped them out for Badger Ordnance scope rings. The Marines hated the GG&G scope rings, apparently they had issues with them breaking and/or coming loose.
This photo of an early large butthook A3 was probably taken at PWS, there's also a similar photo of an A1 that's taken on the same concrete floor. Apparently that was the last A1 made and this was the first A3 made (at least that's the rumor). If anyone has any information about this rifle, please post it here.
This might also be an early A3 at a USMC static weapons display, but I haven't verified if this is a USMC rifle. If anyone here has any information on it, please let us know.
I have a bunch of these old GG&G 4 screw sets of rings that are new in package. They're interesting, but the Badger Ordnance scope rings are much higher quality. Remember, if you're looking at sets of GG&G rings, you need the correct height and you need the old type with the small bolt head (on the cross bolt that holds the rings to the scope base). If the GG&G rings have a larger bolt head, they're more current and would be too late to use on an early A3 build.
