Machine gun mounts … keep M6 pedestal low

PS: The Preventive Maintenance Monthly, Jan, 2005

Low is the way to go while firing the MK19 machine gun oil the M6 pedestal.

When the M6 is set any higher than one hole exposed, it can interfere with the recoil of the MK19, especially in the cold. So set the M6 at one hole exposed or lower to fire the MK19.

In very cold weather (-50[degrees]F or below), fire the M2 machine gun on the M6 no higher than one hole exposed. The M6 can also interfere with M2 recoil, but only in extreme cold.
