    I thought the cam pin hole in the bolt and the cam pin itself are tapered so that you cant install the bolt in that orientation?

    +1 on the out of spec bolt. Should NOT be able to assemble that way!

    I like to imagine that it didn't fit, and the guy just forced it in there that way, and ****ed shit up.

    I know that probably isn't the reality, but I've seen a lot of stupid people, and it was the first thing that came to mind.

    It happens. User error and inspection fail.
    Still, usually impossible to do.
    If you give it to a grunt, he will break it. It is a constant like gravity.

    Issued yes, to me no. I have never had this problem with newer gear though.

    I hate it when people say that.
    Accross every MOS, the 03XX occ field has one of the highest ASVAB averages and the highest T&R task completion of any occ field.
    Yeah, there are still idiot 03's, but taking the time to actually train people and teach them how to be self-sufficient goes a long way to preventing these kind of issues.

    Also more 110 GT scores in the 03 field than any other MOS in the Corps.

    Unfortunately no....

    Surprising though, given the group of individuals who were being trained.

    The so-called armorer needs to have his balls smacked with a 5lb. hammer. That should have never been issued if the issue was known.

    Heard of this, never seen evidence of it before. Huh, kinda neat....in the "that's f**ked-up!" kinda way.

    Definitely a good "teachable moment" item, for a switched-on NCO to do a hip-pocket class on weps inspection.

    That the sort of thing that an armorer should be picking up during LTI, PFI, or which XYZ sort of interval/inspection?
