and at fort long
gone, rotor blade
was shocked as
he listened to his
group…
a guy in one
of my first
units was
an amateur
gunsmith…
…and he showed
me how to take
apart my m16’s
lower receiver and
trigger assembly
so I could clean it
better.
it’s not
that hard
and it
sure lets
you clean
inside the
receiver.
I’ve shown
lots of
soldiers
how to
do it.
kill this rumor!
if you repeatedly push out
receiver pins, the pin holes
enlarge and can’t hold the
pins. that
ruins
the receiver.
if the trigger
assembly is
reassembled
wrong…
…your rifle can
fire
automatic
when it’s not
supposed to.
you could
accidentally kill
somebody.
later, back
at the ps
institute
conference
room…
so what have we
learned from your
field research?
amateur gunsmiths
ruin a lot of army
weapons with their
unhelpful advice.
kill this
rumor!
