It's important for armorers to check if they have unlined barrels because they wear out 80 percent faster than lined barrels and fire saboted light armor penetrator (SLAP) ammo very inaccurately.

The easiest way to tell if a barrel is unlined is to check the part number on the outside of the barrel. A lined barrel has a part number of 7266131. Any other number means the barrel is unlined.

It's NOT OK to use unlined barrels for training! And never use an unlined barrel with M903 or M962 SLAP ammo. Besides wearing out the barrel quickly, SLAP ammo also causes jamming. Turn in all unlined barrels.
