"Thank you for this info! I have a couple more questions, if you don't mind...first, is the M24 still an M14-based rifle? I'm guessing "yes" since you referred to the Navy version as an M25, but was just curious...it's been too long since I've read anything on this topic!"
No problem. Anywho, the M24 is a bolt gun, built by Remington using a model 700 long action, even though its chambered in .308, so the Army can update to the .300 Win Mag if they felt so inclined. Kinda like one of these:

"Plus, what does MOUT stand for? I know I've seen that acronym before and just cannot come up with the meaning."
