Dear EditoR
After use, the Vulcan's ammo Lnks get stretche± out of shape,
loose, and di²y. That causes the ammo to jam and it also throws
oF tIming.
Vulcan mechanics can cut jamming time by doing the fo³ow-
ing Lnk PM:
A
Stick a new dUmmy round in each Lnk. The round should fit
snugly.
I
it's loose, replace the Lnk.
A
´eel the Lnk screws for looseness by moving the Lnks back
and forth and side to side.
I
there's a lot of movement, tighten
loose screwsµ
A
Clean the ¶inks with S·¸2
sma³ arms cleaning brush.
