[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2151412, member: 229"] I think that started on Sniper Central - supposedly a Remington LE employee told one of SC's writers that the barrels are M-24 take-offs because they didn't meet some spec, but that's the only source I've actually read that story (and it's apparently been rebutted numerous times by Remington Employees). I think the confusion is that Mike Rock is probably most famous for 5R rifling and Rock 5R Hammer Forged SS Barrels are used for the M-24 rifles and Remington also uses Rock barrels for their 5R Mil-spec. I don't know that the M-24 was always an SS barrel - I could have sworn at one time that it was Carbon Steel, but according to the LE/Mil section of Remington's Website it's SS Hammer Forged Mike Rock 5R now. As I always understood it, the only thing "Mil Spec" about the 5R is the type of rifling (canted 5R Button Rifling with a 11.25 Twist Rate) and the fact that the barrel manufacturer is the same (Mike Rock). Also, the 5R is short-action where as the M24 is Long-Action regardless of caliber. [/QUOTE]
