Suppose you need a rammer but you turned in your old one and you don't
have the new one yet... What to do?
 You can sometimes seat a round that won't chamber when you first load it by
using the open end of a fired cartridge case as a rammer.
 E-A-S-Y DOES IT

 I-


 To get out an unfired round stuck in the chamber, use the bell rammer on the
 end of the sectional cleaning staff, and gently poke it out.




 If the round has been fired, poke out the empty cartridge with the cleaning
 staff without the bell rammer on the end.
 These are field expedients to be used only until you get the right rammer-
 extractor.

 CARRIAGE, BREECH

 OR CONTROL?

 Dear Half-Mast,
 Some towed
 howitzers like
 the M0IAI -
 have serial numbers on the breechblock and the carriage
 but none that apply to the complete weapon.
 SO WHAT NUMBER DO WE
USE ON LOG RECORDS OR

 -CPT.J.Z. Jr.
 Dear Captain J. Z.,
 For the M 101A1 and other howitzers that don't .. ......,.
 have serial numbers for the complete weapon, use
 their carriage serial numbers. 2
 The rule in TM 38-750 on use of DA Form 2408-8
 control numbers doesn't apply to these howitzers.
