[GunRing] M24 SWS Military Sniper Rifle (R700) Keychain

 Description: 

A downsized replica of the now in service M24 SWS (Sniper Weapon System), the military & police version of the M700 rifle- M24 being the model name assigned by the United States Army after adoption as their standard sniper rifle in 1988. It's referred to as a "weapon system" because it consists of not only a rifle, but also a detachable telescopic sight and other accessories. Originally manufactured by Remington, this one of the most fabled rifles in the world.

The M24 SWS has the "long action" bolt version of the Remington 700 receiver but is chambered for the 7.62×51mm NATO "short action" cartridge that has an overall length of 2.750 inches (69.85 mm). The "long action" allows the rifle to be re-configured for dimensionally larger cartridges up to 3.340 inches (84.84 mm) in overall length.

The M24 originally came tapped for the Leupold Ultra M3A 10×42mm fixed-power scope, which came with a circle-shaped mil-dot glass-etched reticle. This was later replaced in 1998 by the Leupold Mk 4 LR/T M1 10×40mm fixed-power scope with an elongated-shaped mil-dot wire reticle. The rifle also comes with a detachable Harris 9–13" 1A2-LM or Harris 9–13" 1A2-L bipod unit.

The M24 SWS was to be replaced with the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System, a contract awarded to Knight's Armament Company. However, the Army still continued to acquire M24s from Remington until February 2010 and upgraded to the A2 and M24E1 standard in many cases, continuing to serve. The Army chose to upgrade all its M24 rifles in the arsenals to the M2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle, with the final M24 being converted in April 2014. Carry a legendary piece of history with you!
