Was gonna pick up another brake / collar from brownells with the 15% deal the other day but noticed they are $227 now...any reason they're $100 more than other places?

Particularly with a shorter 12.5" barrel? I know the 12.5" w/brake is going to be loud AF, but I don't reckon I'd be using it much without the can. Besides, I haven't seen the FH mount in stock anywhere for a while.. |

Should I use shims, a crush washer or a combo of both to time up a brake?

Not one of mine. Never saw anything from Phil that long either, but it could have been done before I met him. Thank you for the pictures though. Back then we occasionally got rifles in from the different groups and were able to get feedback from the individual shooters. Some really interesting stories for sure.

That is freaking cool. Since it is said to be long action (I don't know how to tell by looking), is it chambered in .30-06?
|
|

[#29]
It's really hard for me to tell if that pic on page 1 is a long action from the angle but if it is indeed a M24 barreled action in the McCree stock then it's most likely .7.62x51 unless it's one of the Ranger's that was rebarreled into .300 Win Mag. They got in trouble for that modification because it wasn't authorized. I suspect the guy in this pic just above is from one of the Ranger Battlions. Big Army wouldn't have gotten away with that suppressor mod but SOCOM could have.

Just dropping another PSA, but DVOR has PRI handguards and front folding sights for Mk12 Mod0 clones on sale - I have no affiliation with said vendor, I just like good deals.

Thinking about building something similar to this with a 13.5-13.7” barrel. What do you think?

It sports the Ops Inc. 3rd Model. Unlike most if not all Ops/AE mountings, the M24 has a specially milled barrel which takes the place of the collar. https://i.imgur.com/1QsbgDG.jpg https://i.imgur.com/zyn1FRw.jpg Though the Army didn't officially adopt the M24A2, some rifles did make it into Afghanistan via the 25th Inf. https://i.imgur.com/bxTbDXN.jpg https://i.imgur.com/oDZaD0Z.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mzu4rpG.jpg Today Ron calls it the M24 suppressor https://i.imgur.com/0yq3px3.jpg View Quote I opted for the AE30 can for my M24A2 |

I have a WOA SPR barrel and if I used the supplied crush washer or extra shims I was getting around 12-13 complete rotations before the van was seated against the collar. I am now getting 8-9 rotations which I thought was more appropriate. View Quote |
