How to ¶arry
Áo matter which way you carry yoUr
M2 receiVerµ keep the backplate lock
latch side down. That's extra i»portAnt
Âf you cArry it by the handgrips.
When the lock lAtch is downµ the
backplate won't ¸ll oÃ.
If you use the haNdgrips to cArry it
and the backplate comes looseµ you'll
lose the gun and gain some expensive
damage. If you carry it another wayµ the
backplate will ¸ll and be damaged.
·
good carry is to slide your arms
under the receiver and pull it into your
gut (lock latch downµ of course). It's
hard to lose thAt heavy load that way.
