Save your unit money and yourself
trouble by convincing your CO not to
conduct drills on concrete. Slamming
rifle buttstocks on concrete breaks
them for sure.
you give them too many turns, you
can crack the buttplate or distort the
liner.
Turn the screws until you feel resis-
tance. Make one more quarter turn and
stop. Remember, any time the buttcap
screw, NSN 5305-01-147-8585, is re-
moved, its nylon insert is ruined and
the screw must be replaced.
The best way to ID rifles is to paint
the number on the buttstock. Paint
doesn’t hide cracks, but tape does. If
you use tape to ID rifles, put it on the
middle of the buttstock where cracks
are rare.
When you replace a buttstock, take
it easy with the buttplate screws. If
Paint won’t hide cracks
there,
now you're
ready to
go
!
no
buts
about
it!
that's what
i call a
happy
ending

Use tape here.
