Sights Require
Special Turn-in
T
hree of the sights used on small arms contain radioactive material, which means you
must follow special turn-in and shipping procedures for the sights. The sights are:
•
M150 optical bore sight, PN TA31RCO-M150, NSN 1240-01-557-1897
•
ACOG optical bore sight, PN TA31RCO-M4, NSN 1240-01-534-1114
•
ACOG optical bore sight, PN TA31F, NSN 1240-01-514-8428
The turn-in procedures can be found in AEPS:
Before shipping one of the sights, your unit property book ofFcer must contact the
sight’s manufacturer, Trijicon Inc, to get a return authorization (RA) number. Call
Trijicon at (800) 338-0563 from 9 am to 5 pm EST or email:
contractadministration@trijicon.com
Once you have an RA, your transportation ofFcer can coordinate shipment of the
sight by following part 173.424 in 49 C±R DOT regulation:
SECTION=424&YEAR=1999&TYPE=PDF

N
ew NSNs have been established for laser sights
used on small arms based on the sights’ color.
Update your property book with these NSNs:
T
he ACOG (advanced combat optical gunsight) and M150 rifle combat optic sight make
sighting a sight easier, but only if you know how to correctly zero them.
Unfortunately, some Soldiers are a bit cloudy on zeroing and don’t know where to ±nd
the zeroing instructions. The small arms TMs have no info on the subject.
TM 9-1240-416-13&P provides the zeroing answers. Pages 1-9 through 1-16 show you
how to correctly mount the sights. Unless the sight is mounted right, it won’t maintain its
zero. The step-by-step zeroing procedures begin on Page 1-21. Armorers should have their
pubs clerks order copies of the TM and then use the TMs to train Soldiers on zeroing.
The TM is also on the ETMs Online site:
