Well it's here, Remington M24sws w/ deployment kit and transit case

[Miller Tyme]

Well with my 30th Anniversary at work last week I decided to treat myself to something a little special for my collection. I wanted something both uncommon & documented, but something that I could also enjoy on the range that would also be a centerpiece of my collection.
And I found it, just picked it up at my LGS a Remington M24sws w/deployment kit and transit case.
This is one of the Army trade-ins for the XM2010 program that Remington rebuilt with new barreled actions and trigger groups. It came with all the Remington documentation as to who the original purchaser was as well as the M24(R) rebuild program specifics.
It appears this particular rifle was last issued to C-Troop, 6/8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division and still has dust and dirt on its bipod from its last deployment.

That's one heck of a coffee table ornament.

In all seriousness, that's a very nice conversation starter and will definitely turn heads at the range just from the case alone. Congrats

**UPDATED Date** Spring 2022 OPEN INGO SHOOT May 21st @ ProTEQ in Brazil, IN

Don and Stephen have once again opened up the SOUTH Valley at their range to INGO for a FREE Open House Shoot on Saturday, May 21st, 2022 between 10AM and 4PM. For these Open Houses, Don allows stuff that most ranges don’t (for this event only), like Tannerite and even black powder artillery...

Its a bit of a hike for you (2.5 hours) but a fun time. And you'll have a free range with 150 yards to play with it. (and of course we get to drool over it, so you better give it a good coat of oil so it doesnt rust)

I will look into it, sounds like fun, plus I get to throw lead down range, which is always a good thing.

Thanks everyone, I am presently in conversations with a Colonel that commanded the 6/8th and am gathering some more information on where this particular rig was deployed. I will be updating this post soon.

 

[Miller Tyme]

Well since my initial posting I have been conversing with Lt. Col. Robert Reynolds, Commander, 6th Sqdn/8th Cav. Regt. and he has conveyed to me the following info;



Walter Just wanted to give you a little background before unplug for a Bible study I am leading.

1. C Troop, 6-8 Cav was a light reconnaissance Troop assigned to 2nd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division (not 1st Cav).

2. 2009 was the first time 6-8 was authorized snipers since we reorganized from a mechanized squadron to a “light” Squadron.

3. They were in Iraq 2010-2011 and Afghanistan on their next deployment.

4. If you know when it went back into rebuild we might be able to figure out where it was.

5. Either way I will dig through my stuff and see if I can find any pictures of C Troop in Iraq…might have a picture of some of our sniper teams or maybe get you in touch with some of the guys who were there. God bless

I informed him that the rifle in questions barreled action has a date code of 2012, and was shipped out to the original purchaser 1/2013. There for the rifle was probably returned to Remington in late 2011 or early 2012 for rebuild.

His replay was;



Well if it was one of our post deployment refit turn ins. That would have been with Chaos Troop along the Iraq/Syria border In the vicinity of a town called Sinjar. If I can find anything from my old files or photos you are welcome to it. No promises since I got rid of a lot of stuff after I retired, but I can still check.

God bless Bob

So I am eagerly awaiting any future updates.
