You-yes, you-watch UOC.


Dear Editor,

In my work in Southwest Asia, I've run across armorers ordering the wrong parts for their M16s or M4s. I don't think they're paying attention to the UOCs. Can you remind them?

 stands for "usable on code" and is listed in the parts TM in the description column for each item. It's important to pay attention to the UOC because otherwise you could end up with an M16A4 barrel assembly for an M16A2.

Remember, for M16/M16A 1 parts look in TM 9-1005-249-23&P and for the M16A2/A3/A4 and M4/M4A1 versions look in TM 9-1005-319-23&P.

HERE ARE ALL THE UOCS FOR THE M16S AND M4/M4A1S...
