#Rifle mesh
Bob,
The Model 700 Remington rifle is not government property. It is manufactured by
a non-government corporation. The US Army purchases those rifles from the
Remington corporation just as they purchase software, medicine, boots, etc. The
designs of everything the US Army purchases are not automatically "available
for the public's use."
Even if you can get the drawings for the 700, building meshes from a drawing is
very difficult and unless you are extremely skilled at reading blueprints, I
would strongly suggest that you simply to go out and buy or borrow a 700. They
are very common rifles. You could probably buy a cheap used one from a pawn
shop. There are, however, some differances between the commercial model and the
military model (such as the a heavy barrel, scope mount, and scope on the M24)
which may not be important as the internal functioning of the weapon is the
same.
