            Rifles.

                Summary: This message describes alternate procedures
            that must be followed when firing the M16 series rifle and a
            noticeable difference in sound or recoil is experienced. DO
            NOT APPLY IMMEDIATE ACTION!

                b. Message, Cdr, AMCCOM, 30150OZ Nov 90, SUBJECT:
            Ammunition Information Notice (AIN) 13-91; Precautions to

                Summary: Propellant retaining clips fall off the 4.2
            inch mortar charges when firing. To prevent misfires, first
            check to ensure the clips are seated in the grooves on the
            cartridge container. Then, visibly check the bottom of the
            tube approximately every 40 rounds. If more than five clips
            are in the tube, remove them by dumping the tube.
