Dear EditoR
When the feeder on the AH-1 's 20±MM
machine gun won²t work, most units fIx the
problem by having suppo³ replace the
solenoid´ NSN 5495-00µ921±5129, which costs
more than $150.
We¶ve found that simply replacing the
solenoid·s connector receptacle oFen does the
trick. ¸t comes with NSN 5935¹01º150»8755 and
costs around $15¼

Àn the Áeld´ one of the retaining ring screws Às dropped and lostÂ
Save that screw and the time Ãt takes to replace Ãt by puTting a
ÄÅ-Ln strip of shrink wrap´ NSN 5970µ00¹812-2968, around the base
of each of the three screws.
Put the wrap on while the screws are through the retaining ringÂ
