I know the latest M82A1 with the full length top rail adds 27 MOA, but did the only style rifles with the standard scope base add any MOA? My research is turning up nothing. Trying to compute how far I can dial.

The older 82A1's didn't have any cant at all. Around 96 or so, I think, a small amount of taper was added. Not sure how much it was. It may have been as much as 25MOA. On a short 6" rail it didn't look like much, but it was there.

Its one of those IDF guns from OOW. Did those have taper?

Yes. If it has the original rail that over hangs the front of the welded on riser base about 3/4" I believe it is. There is around 22-24 MOA of taper to it.
That was a long time ago though.
