Many small arms parts no longer controlled inventory.In the early 90s, the Army had trouble with small arms small arms, firearms designed primarily to be carried and fired by one person and, generally, held in the hands, as distinguished from heavy arms, or artillery. Early Small Arms The first small arms came into general use at the end of the 14th cent. repair parts accountability. To fix that, the Army made repair parts controlled inventory, which meant the parts had to be kept in locked containers behind double barrier protection with controlled access. That made it difficult for armorers to get the parts they needed to make repairs to their weapons. The Army recognized this and over the past few years has reclassified many small arms repair parts with a Controlled Inventory Item Code of U (unclassified un·clas·si·fied adj. 1. Not placed or included in a class or category: unclassified mail. 2. ), which means these parts can be stocked and stored without the accountability and storage restrictions. The Army also said Part[ 2-24b of AR 710-2, which states "bench stocks are authorized au·thor·ize tr.v. au·thor·ized, au·thor·iz·ing, au·thor·iz·es 1. To grant authority or power to. 2. To give permission for; sanction: for all maintenance activities," applies to all organizational motor pools and arms rooms as well as direct support shops. In other words Adv. 1. in other words - otherwise stated; "in other words, we are broke" put differently , armorers can stock any unclassified small arms repair parts that qualify as bench stock in the arms room. Armorers don't need to search for what repair parts can be ordered as bench stock for each weapon. CW2 Robert Philyaw of B Co, 2d FSB (FrontSide Bus) See system bus.
