If you do not appreciate this, you will be missing out on what I think is probably the most important aspect of being a rifle owner. If you have not done some thinking along these lines already, this is worth serious reflection. Your reward may be a satisfaction, pride, and peace of mind that greatly enhances your joy in shooting – and living. S. Army M24 Sniper Rifle Kneeling down at roadside’s edge, an insurgent works frantically, while two armed men pile out of a car and stand guard with AK-47s.
An estimated 3,600 elite XM2010s were to be created, either from upgraded M24s or newly produced. Civilian M24s Today Today, if you’re a civilian shooter and want an M24 reproduction, you basically have three options: a gun can be custom built by a gunsmith or you can order one from one of the two firms that offer them in their regular lineups, those being Texas Brigade Armory and GA Precision. The M24 Sniper Weapon System (SWS) contains the rifle, a 1903 leather sling, cleaning accessories, front and rear iron sights, and the Leupold Mark 4 scope and accessories, all in a tough Hardigg case.
After removing the issue stock and handguard, the operating rod guide is also removed from the barrel and replaced with a new guide that also anchors the barrel to the stock. This literally makes the rifle and chassis one piece. Using machine hex bolts, an equally rigid top rail handguard mounts to the stock, which also comes with Mil-Std-1913 rail sections on both sides and bottom. The latest version of the SAGE MK 14 Mod 0 stock comes in digital camouflage. It was fielded in early 2013. SAGE M14/M1A chassis are offered with dual-rail extending stock, M4 tube stock, M16 fixed stock, fully adjustable sniper stock, and commercial stock systems, all with a black hard-anodized finish.
