Headspace and Timing

[Fuchs]

You guys still don't have the Fabrique Nationale Herstal quick change set that eliminates the headspace issue?

IIRC four of five such sets were developed decades ago by different companies, even including U.S. companies.

What`s your military budget? Half the world's military spending?
Still suffering from a 1919 machine gun design flaw???

The M2E2 Quick Change Barrel (QCB) Kit enhances the M2 with new features and design improvements that make the weapon easier and safer to use. The kit features fixed headspace and timing reduce the time required to change the barrel and eliminate the need to reset headspace. The quick change barrel itself has a removable carrying handle that provides soldiers with a more expedient and safer way of changing barrels. The barrel also has a flash hider that reduces muzzle flash, making the M2 night friendly. The kit was incoprorated into the type standardized M2A1 design, which also featured a modified bolt and trigger block. By Spring 2011, all new production weapon were to be built to the M2A1 standard and older weapons would be retrofitted witht he QCB Kit.
