m. Firing-pin spring. m. Tension.
n. Extractor. n. Broken claw, weak.
o. Barrel. o. If the barrel is free
from pits and bulges, and lands
are sharp and distinct, it is
serviceable. If the barrel is
pitted but free from bulges and
has sharp lands, it is still ser-
viceable and will be sufficiently
accurate. This condition, how-
ever, implies that the barrel
has not been given proper care.
If the lands are pitted and have
lost their sharpness, the barrel
will be inaccurate and should be
replaced. This conditionis al-
ways due to neglect. If the
lands are worn down, due to ex-
tensive firing, and therefore
are no longer sharp, pits are to
be expected as they are character-
istic of a worn-out barrel which
should be replaced. If the bar-
rel has a bulge discernible to
the eye when sighted through at
a string held 2 or 3 feet in
front of the barrel, even though
otherwise in good condition, it
should be replaced. Burrs on
muzzle.

6. INSPECTION REPORT. - The procedure to be followed re-
lating to inspection and maintenance is contained in TM 9-1100,
"Ordnance Maintenance Procedure -- Materiel Inspection and Re-

ing pistols and revolvers, reports of inspectionmaybe submitted
on an improvised form showing a heading and form approximately
as follows:

ORDNANCE MAINTENANCE
(Organization) (Station)
(Inspector)
b. This form is used by the corps area or division small-
arms inspector in submitting reports upon the completion of
inspections, and by organization commanders in reporting upon
the completion of the "Corrective action" noted by the inspector.
Four copies are made and distributed as follows: One copy to
the corps area, division, or other ordnance officer under whose
supervision the inspection is made, two copies to the organiza-
tion commander responsible for the firearms inspected, and one
copy retained for the inspector's files.
c. The inspector will fill in the name of the firearm
inspected, its serial number, condition, and corrective action
to be taken. Where necessary corrections can be made within the
organization, the inspector will consult with and advise the
organization commander as to the proper methods to be followed.
Where the corrections to be made are extensive, complicated, or
of a technical nature, the inspector will so indicate in column
under heading "Corrective action to be taken" and note that the
firearm be sent to the post, camp, station, or field depot for
replacement. The inspector's report will be quoted as authority
for making the exchange. Should the inspection disclose that
the firearm has been damaged or rendered unserviceable through
causes other than fair wear and tear, the inspector will so
state in the inspection report in order that necessary action
may be instituted to place responsibility should his opinion be
