Dear Editor,
The M240’s TM 9-1005-313-23&P (Dec 07) is a bit vague on how to
reassemble the ejection port cover assembly. Here is what I’ve come up with
to do the job:
•±
The spring must have tension to hold properly. If the spring needs tension,
start one end of the spring into position and turn the other end
1
/
4 turn.
•±
Slide in the rest of the cover pin. Use a flat-tip screwdriver to push
the other end of the spring finger into place.

Thanks for the tip, Kevin.

hen you get ready to train with your new M2A1 machine gun, you must do
things differently than you did with the M2. Before you can install the
M19 blank Fring attachment (B±A) on the M2A1, you must Frst
remove the M2A1’s
²ash suppressor and install a barrel cap
in its place. The procedure is in WP 0002 in the M19’s
