Storage and cheap batteries.Dear Half-Mast, Is there any good way to store the M68 reflex sight An optical or computing sight that reflects a reticle image (or images) onto a combining glass for superimposition on the target. that's used with the M16 rifle M16 rifle or AR-15 Assault rifle adopted as a standard weapon by the U.S. Army in 1967. The M16, designed by Eugene M. Stoner in the 1950s for the ArmaLite Division of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corp., has both semiautomatic and automatic capabilities. and M4 carbine “M4A1” redirects here. For the World War II tank, see M4 Sherman. The M4 Carbine is a family of firearms tracing its lineage back to earlier carbine versions of the M16, all based on the original AR-15 made by ArmaLite. ? The M68 doesn't come with any sort of storage box. Also, are there cheaper batteries you can use for the sight than lithium batteries? SSG SSG abbr. staff sergeant A.S. Dear Sergeant A.S., The M68 comes in a heavy-gauge cardboard box cardboard box n → caja de cartón cardboard box n → (boîte f en) carton m cardboard box card n → lined with foam that makes a perfect storage container. If you didn't keep the box, any similar cardboard or plastic box lined with foam or bubble wrap will do. The sight must be kept under lock and key in the arms room in something like a wall locker. The M68 can't be left on the weapon for storage unless the weapons rack itself is enclosed in a locked cage because the sight can be removed from a weapon locked in a rack. The cage must be certified as secure by your local TACOM-Rock Island logistics assistance representative. Two stacked Energizer A76 alkaline (non-lithium) batteries can also be used, but they will not work in extreme cold. Remember, a dead battery has a memory effect, which means it will give a short charge after a rest and make you think you've got a dot again. Any time the red dot fades or goes out, pitch and replace the battery. The M68 is covered by TM 9-1240-413-12&P, which is on EM 0065. Half-Mast |
