be recorded, then the cover shall be removed and the height to the hemmed edge of the body at the same
point shall be recorded. Subtraction of the second reading from the first reading gives the value of the
compressed gasket and cover.
4.4.6.2 Compressed gasket and cover measurements (Applicable to M2A1). For the M2A1, four
points, two on each side, two inches from the front and the rear of the container body shall be located (and
numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4) on both the body and the cover. With the body fully closed, a reading at each
point (4 points for the M2A1), shall be recorded with a standard height gage, then the cover shall be
removed and the height to the hemmed edge of the body at the same point shall be recorded. Subtraction
of the second reading from the first reading gives the value of the compressed gasket and cover.
4.4.6.3 Uncompressed gasket and cover measurements. The cover and uncompressed gasket
shall be measured at each of the four locations (points 1, 2, 3 and 4) for the M19A1 and M2A1with a
precision measurement device and readings recorded. Care must be exercised so that the surface of the
measuring device does not rest in the groove of the compression set. These readings are the
uncompressed gasket and cover values.
4.4.6.4 Average gasket compression value. The compressed gasket and cover results (see 4.4.6.1
and 4.4.6.2) shall be subtracted from the uncompressed gasket and cover readings (see 4.4.6.3 ) at
corresponding location points (1, 2, 3, and 4 only for both M2A1 and M19A1). The sum of the resulting
values for the four location points divided by four shall be considered the average gasket compression
value.
4.5 Workmanship. Visually verify that all parts and assemblies meet the requirements of
paragraph 3.8.
4.6 Ammunition lot numbering. Visually verify that ammunition lot number has been
applied to each lot as described in MIL-STD-1168.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the
contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DOD or in-house
personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain packaging
requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging
activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within the military service's system
commands. Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing Military Department's or Defense
Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging
activity.
