INVESTIGATION RESULTS: Please see a summary of the contractors response to PQDR:

Summary of Complaint:Per PQDR W81XCB-13-0002 ¿Miss manufacturered breech bolt firing pin hole oblong shape not round¿ [sic]

Cause of Deficiency:A. Validation of Reported DeficiencyPart reviewed at FNM. Problem as stated above confirmed. Part confirmed as manufactured by

(b) (6)

FNM by manufacturer¿s identification mark. Contract number cannot be definitively determined.

B. Cause of Deficiency:(As stated in PQDR W806CM-09-0002, dated 01/27/2010)FNMI resourced the thermal deburr operation due to plant closing. The same processing equipment moved to the new supplier. This new supplier was approved by providing conforming 1st article and production parts. Thermal deburr personnel then changed parameter settings resulting in excessive blast pressure. This caused oval shaped firing pin hole.

C. Responsibility for Deficiency:The deficiency is the responsibility of FN Manufacturing, LLC.

Corrective Action: The thermal deburr operation is no longer in use (Last receipt of thermal deburred parts was Feb 2012). FNM deburrs all M249 breech bolts by hand during the manufacturing process. The firing pin hole is in the as-received condition in the bolt blank from the supplier. No deburring takes place with respect to the firing pin hole at FNM.

Contractors Position with Respect to Repair or Replace: FNM to replace with new Bolt.
