LBS Replaces M30 Boresight
When it’s time to replace the M30
boresight for your rifles or machine
guns, don’t order another M30. The
laser bore light system (LBS), NSN
5860-01-471-2091, replaces the M30
and costs $400 less. The LBS has a
LIN of FA6000.
AFS Replaces GVO, BVO Boots
The alternative footwear solution (AFS) is replacing the green vinyl overshoe (GVO) and
black vinyl overshoe (BVO) as
the
chemical protective boot. The AFS is a lightweight
chemical and biological agent protective overboot made of compounded butyl rubber. It
should provide 24 hours of protection when exposed to chemical agents. AFS can be worn
for up to 45 days. For sizes, NSNs, and general info on AFS, go to:
