Ever. The Mod 7s are awesome too. |

Were late Mk 13 Mod 5's (IMUNS variant) ever issued to SF, or only NSW?

If anyone has leads on a right handed short action RACS LW chassis in tan, i'd appreciate it. the non M40a6 version.

Curious as to why this Leupold MK4 surplus scope has the original serial number electro-pencilled over and a new serial number engraved on it? Likewise, why does this Ultra M3A have a new serial number electro-pencilled on it? @Combat_Diver

Love this thread, long time lurker. Have the RACS chassis's all dried up? Trying to find one to do a m2010 build but hard to find it seems.

Don't remember if I ever posted this M110 back in Feb 18' (believe we had turned in all the Mk11s by then). Just came across it in my files.

Do we know if the M24SWS was ever deployed with .300 win barrels before they moved to the 2010? I did some digging(albeit light) but didn't find anything. Seems like they all had .308 chambering and never bumped up. Afghanistan seems like you'd want make the jump, but understand that's not how procurement really works.

View Quote I remember only two M24's getting rebarreled to .300 WM back in the 90s in 5th. Later we had the Mk13s but those Rem 700 receivers were not rebarreled M24s IIRC. CD |

It may have been numbered to the gun it was issued with by the armorer.

Chances are the mount had the same number. Yeah, but they wouldn't wipe out the scope's s/n, it would just be added next to it. The s/n from Leupold is how it enters the supply system and gets tracked. Though there is the possibility that the armorer is a 'tard and oblit'd the s/n not knowing any better. |

Insane. I've spoken to them numerous times about making more SSs and SVs - they said they'd have to re-tool to do it and it would only make financial sense if they received a large order - like the type of contracts they'd get for law enforcement or military. This is why I've told people to bug Surefire about it - demand is the only way we will ever see them again. Unfortunately, cloners and collectors like us who want these cans probably don't make up enough of a demand, which of course, I totally get. It still sucks though because I want one! |

My M40A5 build is about complete. Just picked it up Saturday from the 'smith. I was planning on picking up an S&B scope in a few months of saving my pennies and then a suppressor down the road but at these crazy prices I don't think it will happen.
ps.....I really really need a 34mm simrad cap too in case some one has an extra. |
