M24 SWS what is the civillian version of this rifle?  I assume that the M24 SWS is not available to civillians.

"The M24 is a 7.62mm, bolt action, 5-shot repeating rifle.  The rifle was designed primarily for prone shooting, but can be fired from other postions.  Components of this rifle are:

*Kevlar stock with adjustable shoulder stock.

*Rock 5R barrel.

*Model 40x long action with special trigger guard and floorplate assembly that allows conversion to a magnum caliber.

*Modified model 700 trigger." (TC23-14, Sniper training and employment)

It's not an off the shelf gun, but you could replicate one.  All it takes is money.

Check out Mike Lau's book for details. Brownell's has all the parts, save the 5R barrel and junky Redfield sights that one would need.
