Every Upgrade That "Saved" The M24 Sniper From Failure

Every Upgrade That "Saved" The M24 Sniper From Failure Taliban fighters suppressed American sniper teams from 1200 meters. The M24 topped out at 800. What followed was a 36-year disaster: a $28 million emergency rebuild, a nine-year competition where prototypes failed one by one, and a manufacturer that won the contract then went bankrupt with $7 billion in debt. This video covers the M24's fatal flaw in Afghan mountains, the XM2010 Frankenstein conversion, the British L115A3 and Canadian C14 Timberwolf that beat America by two years, the PSR gauntlet that destroyed the SAKO TRG M10, Desert Tech SRS, and Accuracy International AXMC, Remington's spectacular collapse after winning with the Mk21, and Barrett's Mk22 that finally solved it—for $17,821 per rifle. 📌 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Outgunned in Afghanistan 01:20 - Built for the Cold War 02:33 - Mountains Expose Weakness 02:59 - Why 7.62 NATO Failed The M24 04:39 - Both Men Outranged 05:22 - Buy Time or Buy Right 05:51 - The XM2010 Emergency Fix 07:48 - Hidden Costs 09:55 - The British L115A3 10:30 - The World Record Shot 11:02 - The Canadian C14 Timberwolf 12:23 - PSR Competition Begins 13:26 - SAKO TRG M10: Dust Failure 14:30 - Desert Tech SRS-A1: Bullpup's Flaw 15:54 - Accuracy International AXMC Rejected 16:54 - Remington MSR Mk21 Wins 17:45 - $7 Billion Collapse 19:01 - Barrett MRAD Mk22: The Winner 19:41 - Three Rifles in One 20:37 - The Contracts 20:56 - Three Calibers, Three Missions 23:36 - The $36 Million Mistake 26:28 - The Institutional Trap 27:40 - The Lesson 🎯 KEY TAKEAWAYS At 1000m, 7.62 NATO drifts over 1.5 meters in light crosswinds—.300 Win Mag dramatically reduces this The XM2010 conversion cost $28.16M for 3600 rifles but reused 20+ year old receivers under higher magnum pressures British L115A3 (.338 Lapua) fielded in May 2008—two years before the U.S. XM2010 Craig Harrison's 2475m kills with the L115A3 set the world record while U.S. snipers struggled at 800m PSR competition destroyed SAKO (dust failure), Desert Tech (12-second reloads), and AI AXMC (insufficient modularity) Remington won in 2013, then failed quality control and filed bankruptcy with $7B debt by 2018 Barrett Mk22 won with two-screw barrel swaps—one rifle, three calibers (7.62, .300 Norma, .338 Norma) Skipping the M2010 and buying the Mk22 in 2010 would have saved $36M—the cost of ¼ of an F-35 📂 SOURCES & RESEARCH Data sourced from official DoD contracts, SOCOM procurement records, congressional budget documentation, GAO reports, and manufacturer specifications.
