Hello, I'm wanting to do an m24 clone-ish build, (Remington 700 LA reciever, HS Precision stock, Leopold mk4 scope, and m24 contour barrel) but I'm running into some confusion on the barrel specs. I know that the m24 has a 24" barrel with 5R rifling and a 1/11.25 twist rate. However, as I was searching for a good source for the contoured blank, I noticed that there was some variation between the m24 contour barrel dimensions listed by different manufacturers. Here's a few examples:
https://preferredbarrelblanks.com/contours/#:~:text=MTU%20Contour-,M24/M40%20Contour,-Carbon%20Fiber%20Contours http://www.rockcreekbarrels.com/barrel-info/barrel-contours#:~:text=M24/M40,27? https://riflebarrels.com/barrel-contour-data/#:~:text=taper%20140%2C%20197)-,1.200%E2%80%B3,6.45%20lbs,-. I know that Rock Creek originally made them for the army, so I assume their's is correct. However, unfortunately they're not available right now. I was hoping to order from Preferred Barrel Blanks because they're the cheapest and they're a local company that I'd like to support, but I want to make sure that dimensionally, their barrel is going to be "clone correct". Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated. |

Unless you are going to make everything exactly the same as the original a little off on the barrel contour or rifling or twist won't make a difference. What caliber are you making it? Might not be what you want to hear but a lot of people bust their ass to make a "spec" rifle and end up with something they end up changing in the end or don't shoot much as they find out an Army M24 is not the best all around rifle. |
