Those 5R barrels in the M24 may not be the same ones used in the commercial version.

You are correct- I should have been more specific; I was referring to the 5R rifling, not the barrels themselves. The Target Tactical actually uses the VTR (triangular) barrel which obviously ain't the M24- but does have the 5R rifling.
I did "read" somewhere though, that the Milspec 5R barrels were produced for the M24, but in some area failed (by minutiae, I'd guess) to meet the standard and were culled to the production rifles. True or not, dunno...
