Get on track with rail answers.I DON'T KNOW Don't know (DK, DKed) "Don't know the trade." A Street expression used whenever one party lacks knowledge of a trade or receives conflicting instructions from the other party. ABOUT YOUR ADAPTER RAIL ASSEMBLY. LET'S SEE IF HALF-MAST HAS SOME ANSWERS. OF COURSE HE DOES, SERGEANT B. HE'S HALF-MAST! [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] WHAT ARE YOU GONNA SAY? FIRST, I'M GOING TO TELL HIM THAT WE'RE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE M4 AND MS ADAPTER RAIL SYSTEMS (ARS) CRACKING WHERE THEY FIT IN THE SLIP RING ON THE M4/M4A1 CARBINE carbine Light, short-barreled rifle. The first carbines, from the muzzle-loading muskets of the 18th century to the lever-action repeaters of the 19th, were chiefly cavalry weapons or saddle firearms for mounted frontiersmen. AND M164 RIFFLE. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] GOOD, NOW WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO PREVENT THE CRACKING? [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] WHAT ABOUT ME MAYBE BEING NMC NMC Nursing & Midwifery Council (UK) NMC NSSDC Master Catalog (NASA) NMC Northwestern Michigan College (Traverse City, Michigan) NMC National Meteorological Center ? THAT'S MY NEXT CRACKING MAKE THE WEAPONS NMC? [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] AS LONG AS YOU'RE ASKING QUESTIONS, ANYTHING ELSE? Y'KNOW, I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHERE TO FIND INTO ON RAIL SYSTEMS! [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Dear Sergeant S.B., It's important to remember that the adapter rails are aluminum, just like the M4/M4A1 and M16 upper and lower receivers'. So you definitely don't want to use any kind of graphite lubricant on the rails or the weapons. Graphite causes severe corrosion in aluminum. Use only CLP 1. CLP - Cornell List Processor. 2. CLP - Constraint Logic Programming. , LSA LSA - Link State Advertisement , or LAW for lubing the rails. Make sure your unit knows not to remove the upper handguard rail when they clean their weapons. The upper handguard rail has a self-locking screw that must be replaced with a new screw when it's removed. If you use the same screw, it won't stay tight and any aiming or sighting devices you mount won't stay zeroed. Like an)' part, the ARS won't last forever lf you've been using the rail system for three to four years, the cracks you're seeing may just be part of normal wear and tear You can find M5 ARS repair parts in Fig C-17 in TM 9-1005-31923&P and M4 ARS repair parts in Fig C21. The ARS doesn't have a separate TM. Because the ARS is part of the M16 and M4 additional authorized list (AAL (ATM Adaption Layer) The part of the ATM protocol that breaks up application packets into 48-byte payloads which become ATM cells when the 5-byte headers are attached. The AAL resides between the higher layer transport protocols and the ATM layer. ) items, which means it's an accessory, a damaged rail system does not make the weapon NMC. Questions? Contact TACOM's Kevin Moore at DSN DSN - Digital Switched Network 7932359/(309) 782-2359 or email moorek@ria.army.mil Use CLP or other approved lube on ARS. No graphite lube allowed. Upper handguard rail has self-locking screw that can be used only once MY ARS IS CRACKED! I GUESS THIS MEANS I'M NMC! NO, YOU CAN STILL GO TO THE FIELD, BUT WE'LL ORDER A NEW ARS FOR YOU. |
