Well, with the introduction of the M110 SASS to the US Army inventory it was never quite clear what the future was for the M24 and if the M110 was supposed to be a replacement or a complimentary system. Well, the US Army has just awarded a $11 million contract to Remington for more M24 SWS’s. I have also heard nothing about decommissioning the M24 so I will assume it still has some life left in her. 2008 does mark the 20th year of service for the M24, that isn’t too bad.
