Firing insurance.


Dear Editor,

Through our work supporting the Special Forces at Ft Lewis, we've come up with two tips to keep MK19s firing happily:

* Make sure you pull the bolt all the way back. It requires a bit of muscle and both hands. If you don't lock the bolt; back completely, you may have problems like misfires.

HEY BUDDY! THAT AIN'T GONNA gon·na

 DO IT!

* Fire at least five rounds at a time if possible. If you fire fewer, particularly just one at a time, it often jerks the rounds so much that the links between rounds are stretched. That can put the rounds in the wrong position for firing.
