Crush Proof Drip Pans
Use these NSNs to get crush proof drip
pans for the motorpool.
These newer pans are made of a special
collapsible rubber that snaps back to its
original shape. Each pan has a pull-chain.
Rifle Slings and
Top Sling Adapters
TM 9-1005-319-10 gives the wrong NSN for M16 rifle
slings. The right NSN is NSN 1005-01-216-4510. The M4
carbine sling is NSN 1005-01-368-9852. Top sling adapters
for M16/M4s can be ordered using NSN 1005-00-406-1570.
Appendix B of TM 9-1005-319-10 lists the adapter as an
Additional Authorized List item.
Windshield Wiper Actuator NSN
Use NSN 1680-01-483-2097 to order the windshield wiper actuator for your Chinook helicopter.
The NSN shown for Item 7 in Fig 396 of TM 55–1520-240-23P-3 is wrong. Make a note until the
TM is updated in the next change.
Finding NSNs
for Unit Patches

uniform patches but don’t have an
NSN? Go to DLA’s Clothing and Textiles
website, Warfighters Clothing Support

A20 Heater Parts
The impeller and vent fan motor that make up
the A20 personnel heater’s vent fan motor assem-
bly, NSN 6105-01-498-3867, can now be ordered
separately. The NSN for the impeller is 4140-01-
503-2369. But you can save a lot if all you need is
the motor, NSN 6105-01-503-2368.
M149A2
Water Tank
The water tank on the M149A2
water trailer is no longer avail-
able separately. To get a tank,
order NSN 2510-01-091-5167. The
NSN includes Items 2 through 29
in Fig 27 of TM 9-2330-267-14&P.
M149A2 Trailer Elbow
Use NSN 4730-00-253-5765 to get a 90° elbow
for the water trailer. This NSN replaces the
parts info shown as Item 16, Fig 28 of TM 9-
2330-267-14&P.

water trailer faucet

for the M149A2 water trailer. The NSN
shown as Item 1, Fig 28 of TM 9-2330-267-
14&P gets the wrong faucet.
Rope Lock NSN
Order NSN 4030-01-477-0524 to get a
rope lock that keeps a tent rope, loose
gear, flight line or canvas cover snug. The
rope lock doesn’t need continual adjust-
ments once it’s secured or fastened. This
NSN gets a package of 12 rope locks.
Order M2 Recoil Buffer by Parts
Armorers, your support can no longer order the M2
machine gun's recoil buffer as an assembly. Its SMR
code has been changed to AFFFF, which means it
must be ordered with the parts listed in Fig 6 of TM
9-1005-213-23&P. Make these changes on Page 0049
00-3/4:
•
The SMR code for Item 6, barrel buffer body assem-
bly, is now PAFZZ and its NSN is 1005-00-726-6835.
•
The SMR code for Item 4, machine buffer accelera-
tor, changes to PAFZZ.
•
The correct NSN for Item 1, barrel buffer assembly,
is NSN 1005-00-141-1235.
TACOM Tactical
Trailer Survey
Griping to your buddy about your trailer may get
it off your chest, but doesn’t get you an improved
trailer. Instead, give the folks who design trailers
your thoughts on improvements and challenges
by filling out the U.S. Army TACOM Tactical
Trailer Survey. This survey is available on-line at
Completing the survey should take only a few
minutes to complete. If you have any questions
with regard to this survey, please e-mail:

Old M2 Barrel Supports Temporarily OK to Use
Because there is a shortage of barrel supports for the M2 machine gun, the old barrel support
with rectangular cooling holes is
temporarily
OK to use. This means you can ignore the barrel
support hole size rejection criteria on Page 0020 00-13/14 in TM 9-1005-213-23&P. But the bar-
rel support must still pass the inspection criteria on Page 003500-3/002000-14. The old barrel
supports, all of which have cooling holes larger than 1.1775 inch, should be tagged NOT FOR
USE WITH M3 AMPLIFIER OR BFA. For more info, contact TACOM’s Walter Hilliard at DSN 793-
2108/(309) 782-2108 or email:
