WARNING The M240 Series Machine Guns must be inspected and gaged at least once annually for safety and serviceability. Initial gaging is required one year from receipt of the weapons. Air Force users refer to inspection requirements in Air Force Manual (AFM) 36-2227-1, Volume 1. All Army Reserve and Army National Guard M240 Series Machine Guns must be inspected and gaged at least every two years, after initial inspection/gaging procedures have been accomplished. This initial gaging procedure is required one year from receipt of the weapons. This two year interval may be maintained unless preventive maintenance checks and services (PMCS) or other physical evidence indicates that an individual unit's M240 Machine Guns require inspection/gaging at a more frequent interval. If it is determined that a yearly inspection is necessary for an individual unit, only that unit will be affected.
