NOTE
This work package applies to all the weapons (M16A2, M16A3, and M16A4 Rifle and
M4 and M4A1 Carbine) unless stated otherwise.
PURPOSE
This work package establishes standards for overseas shipment (pre-embarkation inspection criteria) for all
weapons. These standards are provided to ensure that the user is furnished equipment which will perform
its mission without early failure or major maintenance problems.
SCOPE
NOTE
M16 series rifles with chrome plated bolts and bolt carriers, lower receivers without
pivot pin detents, and bolt carriers without serrations may be used by Air Force
personnel for all mission requirements.
1. The standards prescribed provide for a high percentage of remaining life in affected rifles; therefore,
rifles designated for overseas shipment must qualify under the standards contained in the following
paragraph, table, and in referenced DA publications, before they can be approved for shipping action.
