NOTE
If a weapons lower receiver
is missing one third or more
of its exterior protective
finish, resulting in an
unprotected/light reflecting
surface, it is a candidate for
overhaul. This missing
finish will be considered a
shortcoming (SH). This SH
requires action to obtain a
replacement weapon. Once
a replacement has been
received, evacuate the
original weapon to depot for
overhaul.
o. Check finish of lower receiver
(54) for scratches and worn
shiny spots. If scratched or
worn shiny in spots, repair in
the same manner as stated for
