If you force the enhanced breech into the standard receiver, it is a major chore
to get it back out because the enhanced breech is 5 millimeters larger. And you’ve
probably damaged the receiver.
How do you tell the breeches apart?
The enhanced breech has a stepped ridge
cut into its aft end. The standard breech has
no ridge.
If you’re unsure which receiver you
have, check the data plate on the side of
the receiver.
. The enhanced receiver’s part
number is 12524008-1 and the standard’s is
12524008. For more info on differences, see
WP 0002 in TM 9-1005-200-23&P.
Make sure you know which M242 you
have before you order replacement parts.

think about.
