GENERAL PACKAGING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SMALL ARMS WEAPONS

1. Disassembly Weapons shall be disassembled as necessary to accomplish complete and thorough cleaning, but not beyond that allowed by the unit's authorized echelon of maintepance.

MCO 4030.16F 18 Feb 97

2. Cleaning. Thorough cleaning is the first essential prqcedure in any effective preservation cycle. No method of preservation will protect a weapon if contaminants are present on the surface of the item when the preservative is applied. Improper cleaning will render all subsequent packaging operations ineffective. There are various processes and methods by which cleaning can be accomplished. The choice depends on the extent of contamination and the materials and equipment available. For small arms weapons, Solvent Cleaning Process (C-3), per MIL-STD-2073-1 ·or MCO P4030.31, is preferred and can. be acco~plished even with improvised equipment. Process C-3 is normally a 11 two stepn process, unless accomplished by pressure spray. The weapon is initially cleaned in a petroleum Solvent and draine.d. The initial cleaning \'?ill be followed by a secondary cleaning using another co:p.tainer or cloth. Cleaning sOlvent will. conform to P-D-680, Type I. , Protective gloves will be worn to avOid fingerprint contamination and possible skin irritation.

a. All metallic surfaces/parts will be cleaned by dipping, scrubbing, or wiping utilizing process C-3 per MIL-STD-207~-1, or MCO P4030.31. Nonmetallic parts will be cleaned by process C-1 per MIL-STD-2073-1, o~_MCO P4030.31. Parts that have been exposed to burned powder residUes (i.e., the bolt, bolt carrier assembly, firing pin, barrel bore and chamber, tip of the operating rod, etc.} require special.cleaning. These parts must be scrubbed clean with bristle brushes and/or swabS saturated with rifle bore cleaner conforming to MIL:-C-372. Additionally, three comple_te pa~ses through the bore using the appropriate brush saturated with bore cleaner must be accomplished to mee~ minimum bore cleaning requirements. flush a~l scrubbed surfaces with solvent conformipg to P-D-680.

b. Cleaned parts shall then be wiped with c+ean dry patches, or cloths until no discoloration appears. Repeat cleaning with bore brush, if required.

c. Rinse all metal parts in clean solvent conforming to Type I of P-D-680.

3. Drying Immediately after cleaning, all parts will b~ thoroughly dried prior to application of the preservative. Drying shall be accomplished in accordance with MIL-STD-2073-1. or MCO P4030.31 utilizing procedure D-1 (blowing with dry compressed air) except the barrel bore, chamber and flash suppreSsor which will be dried utilizing procedure D-4 (wiping with clean, dry, lint free swabs and/or clothes) .

MCO 4030.16F 18 Feb 97

4. preserving Immediately after drying, all metallic surfaces/ parts shall be coated with a thin coating of preservative conforming to VV-L-800 (P-9), applied by any applicable procedure. Operating and mating parts will be actuated to ensure all surfaces are coated with the pre$ervative. Excess preservative shall be thoroughly drained from the coated surfaces. Wipe metal surfaces of stock and handgrip with a cle"an cloth moistened with the same preservative oil. The preserved weapon shall be allowed to drain for a minimum of one hour prior to continuing with the packaging process.

5 .. packagj ng

a. Encapsulate magazine and sling in barrier material as identified in the sample packaging data sheet at enclosure (2) . If a manual is provided with the weapon, it will also be encapsulated in barrier material. Assemble all parts of the weapon that were disassembled for cleaning. Examine lower receiver to assure that the hammer is in the fired position (against the bolt catch) . Insert a VCI bore tube into the barrel. Any sharp and/or protruding areas on the weapon must be cushioned with a non­corrosive material (i.e., MIL-B-121, PPP-C-1797, PPP-C-1842, etc.) to prevent puncture of the barrier material. The assembled weapon will then be sandwiched between layers of MIL-B-22019 Type II, VCI cold seal barrier material. The barrier material must be completely sealed around the weapon with no visible channels through the seal. The encapsulated weapon shall be immobilized with the serial number facing up in the fiberboard box with blocking as shown in the sample packaging data sheet at enclosure (2). Place the magazine,· sling, and manual .(if provided) in the box and secure to the bottom with tape (i.e., PPP-T-76). Close the container and seal all seams and joints with tape {i.e., PPP-T-76). Fiberboard containers will conform to ASTM D1974, ASTM D5118/ASTM D5118M (formally PPP-B-636). For shipment and storage, small arms weapons packaged as prescribed herein will be packed in triple-wall fiberboard {PPP-B-640, Style E, Class 1) for Level B; and cleated­plywood boxes (PPP-B-601, Style A, B, I, Or J, Type OS, Grade B) or containers as described in enclosure {3) for Level A, based on quantity, content weight, shipment destination, type of storage anticipated and/or mode of transportation.

8. Safety Precautions Appropriate safety precautions must be established and observed at all times to protect personnel from materials Which may present fire hazards or cause skin irritations.

a. Rubber gloves will be used during the cleaning and preserving.process to prevent possible skin burns or irritation by

the solvents and to avoid contaminating the metal surfaces of the weapons with fin$erprints.

b. Solvents will only be used in a well ventilated room or area and ~pprbp_riate precautions must be taken. to prevent personnel frolf!'inha:ling solvent vapOrs.

c. Appropriate firefighting equipment will be readily accessible, in working order, and located near the work areas. Individuals will be instructed arid trained in its proper use.

d. Volatile iiCxuids (i.e., gasoline) with low flash points will not be used foi clean'ing purposes. Dry cleaning solvent and bore cieaning compound, as prescribed herein, are recommended.

e. Personnel handling VCI materials will be instructed to wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water before eating and handling food.
