VM:
Are you implying that guys will carry spare small parts on their body armor somewhere and while under fire they will disassemble their weapon and replace these small parts?
I can't recall when I ever saw a extractor, ejector, or firing pin on an issued M-16 series of weapons give up the ghost while shooting. Provided the unit followed Army maintenance schedules and regulations. If one of these parts breaks while in a fire fight -- I figure the guy is SOL and needs to get a weapon that works in his hands.
That other fellow was fishing for an answer he should have looked up on the Reimer Library or gone to his PMS for. TR gave him an answer. TR must be in a good mood.
