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.. |

I had to revise my post. I didn't pay attention. Fairly certain that the gun is an M24E2 barreled action (note the long action). The only M24's with OPS Inc cans, is the M24E2, which utilizes the 12th Model .30 
Though the Army didn't officially adopt the M24A2, some rifles did make it into Afghanistan via the 25th Inf. 
Today Ron calls it the M24 suppressor

There were other versions of the M24 with only the barrel profile for the 3rd Model .30 Cal.
The 3rd Model became the AE A3RD and now the M24 as pictured above. They were 5/8-24 threaded early on and later 11/16-24 (Late model M24A2 barrel pictured below); 
M24 knurling; 
I must say these cans are amazing, tested next to a 16" .22lr with high velocity ammo, the M24A2 with AE M24 suppressor measured just below the decibel level of the .22lr. Many Thanks to Mr. Allen for the help with my M24 project. |

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.

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.

He also has pics of his Mk13 in a KRG Whiskey chassis he took on deployment, hence why I think it could be something other than an M24E2, but might as well get it straight from him! |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By eodsix: I'm new to this thread, but I need to make a correction/addition to the thread. That bolt gun in this pic may indeed be a M24 in a McCree stock but to the best of my knowledge there was never a M24E2. Remington marketed a M24A2 but it was never officially adopted by the Army. 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 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. |
