11-5855-308-12&P comes up a little short on NSNs for parts needed for the
AN/PEQ-2A target pointer illuminator/aiming light.
To mount the AN/PEQ-2A
to a weapon that uses the rail
system, such as the modular
weapon system, you need
the railgrabber, NSN 5340-
01-458-0990. The railgrab-
ber can also be used for
mounting the AN/PAQ-4B/C
laser aiming light.
If the railgrabber is not available in the supply system, the high profile torque lim-
ited railgrabber, NSN 5340-01-458-0473, will also work.
M
ake sure your gun laying and posi-
tioning system (GLPS) is completely
dry before you put it in its case for
storage or shipment.
The contractor who repairs GLPS is
receiving systems suffering water
damage. The probable cause is soldiers
shutting up wet GLPSs in their storage
cases. The trapped moisture causes
corrosion and electrical problems.
Before you put a GLPS in its case,
wipe it completely dry. The case's
inserts soak up moisture. If the case's
insides ever get wet, open the case and
let it air dry inside for at least two
days. Make sure it's completely dry
before you store a GLPS in it.
You can get stickers warning against
storing a wet GLPS by calling
TACOM's Marta Favati at DSN 793-
0564/(309) 782-0564 or emailing:
marta.favati@us.army.mil
