Dear Editor,
A
lot of bolt plug pins are
lost when they aR Rmoved for
repair or cleaniNg of the
m±²
machine gun bolt assembly.
We're saving a lot of pins
with a simple procedure I've
passed on to armorers.
I telL them to
·
put the pin
through the bolt plug after
bolt
disassembly ±±. and
to
keep it there.
It prevents a lot of lost pins
wh²e the bolt is being cleaned
or maintained.
