The rifle was intended to be&nbsp; chambered in the&nbsp; .30-06 as the -06 was a type classified munition for&nbsp; the Army unlike the&nbsp; .300 WM at the time. They wanted to have a high&nbsp; power load for the&nbsp; .30-06 eventually developed. As development of the&nbsp; system was moving&nbsp; forward they discovered that there was not enough&nbsp; .30-06 ammo in a&nbsp; single lot in the Army’s inventory to test and develop&nbsp; the system so&nbsp; they quickly changed to the 7.62x51mm NATO (308 Win) and&nbsp; left the action&nbsp; the same as there was not enough time for the&nbsp; manufacturers of the&nbsp; stock and floorplate to make the change to short&nbsp; action. They also fully&nbsp; believed they would later do a product&nbsp; improvement update and convert&nbsp; all the M24′s to .30-06. The fact that&nbsp; they could convert them to .300&nbsp; Win Mag was an unexpected benefit to&nbsp; the SF groups and was never&nbsp; actually designed into the system</blockquote>
