It would cover the M-14 NM, the M-21, and the M-25 or DMR variants.

The M-24 is a bolt action sniper weapon built on a Remington M-700 action. It is significantly more user maintainable and durable than the accurized M-14 series.

M21 is what I was referring to Sir. For some reason I continue to confuse the nomenclature for the two weapons.

Start pushing.

The improved blood flow should help your brain oxygenate and retain weapons nomenclature better.

Especially if you don't do real well on your testing, and we have to make an 18B out of you.

Now that was just plain wrong.

Everybody on an A Team is an 18 B until:
1) Somebody gets shot.
2) A bridge needs blowing up.
3) Its time to call CAS.

I was looking at it again and I'll bet the muzzle flash is impressive.

Especially in a civillian version ala Post Ban, no flash hider.

Although a 10" Barreled XM-177E2 (Car-15) with a Birdcage in place of the Can was truly awesome in the Muzzle Flash Department !!

Martin:

The SEALs love the 10.5" for CQB and shipboard action.

Can you imagine capping a mag off from that bad boy in a ship's hold with steel walls, floors, and ceiling?

Instant disability pension!

With the "Noise Attenuator" on them, it quiets them down considerably compared to just a "Bird Cage" !! In fact the civilian versions carry 2 Tax Stamps because the Can lowers the Dbs enough to qualify as being a silencer.

On my team the 18E's did the CAS calls.

Unless of course you had a Q8 identifier as a Team Sergeant.

darn it I will get this pic thing figured out...

Sire24657 · 03-19-2004, 20:33

What do yoi fine folks think of the Troy Industries modified M1A?

Would it be a good weapon for what it was intended for?

Just curious,

It would work better then the Springfield shorty. We were looking at it and considering getting an example. The stock looks to be a screw on ala AI. I would hazard a guess at a machined metal skeleton stock under the outer stock. That would elimnate or decrease the problems that the M21 had. The rail system would allow mounting the UNS PEQ-2/4 and othe goodies. I Would look at it as a possilbe back up to the sniper, or as a hard hitting CQC weapon.

Look here for pics http://troyind.com/gallery.htm

I want one. They're all good.

Air.177 · 04-07-2004, 15:25

We just got one of these in today. It hurts my ears just to think about the muzzle blast. It didn't really settle in just how small this thing is until I held one. It is an interesting rifle.
