Dear Editor,
o
CLP is the answer to a couple of
problems we've run into with the
Avenger±s new MP3 machine gun:
I
the hook on the MP3²s remote
charging system gets diRTy and
O
binds³ the hook won±t pull the bolt
0
far enough so that it can extract.
´esultµ a hangFIre¶
Prevent binding by cleaning the
hook assembly and the mount·s
ramp with CLP and a toothbrush
a¸er eve¹y FIºIng¶ »est the hook
before you go to the field for
binding¼ Give it a shot of CLP if
needed¶
should tu½ freely once the rear
0
mount nuts are loosened¾
I
the
nut doesn²t want to tu½ and you
force it, it w¿ÀÁ break o¶ »hat
means a whole new mount¶
»he likely problem is a binding
mountà Squirt CLP (or any
lightweight oil) in the slots that
the mount moves in¶ Wait a few
minutes and tu½ the azimuth nut
again¶
i
should now tu½ easily¶
I
it won't tu½ easilyÄ stop¶
±s
time for your repairman to check
out the problemÅ
