Part 2 covered the basic M110 SASS and the contents of its shipping container. In Part 3, we'll take a closer look at some of the contents.
Above: The barrel has a flash suppressor to mask the muzzle flash of the rifle when fired at night. The suppressor also acts as a locating device for the KAC sound suppressor and an attachment point for the blank fire adapter (BFA) shown mounted to it on on the right. The BFA is used for training exercises and is packed with the shipping container. (Photos: KAC)
Below: Two kinds of magazine pouches are issued for the M110 magazines; a smaller pouch carries two 10-round magazines and a larger pounch carries two 20-round magazines. The 10-round magazines are used by the sniper when the longer 20-round magazine might interfere with his work or expose him unnecessarily to observation. (Photo: KAC)
Above: The leather sling provided with the rifle is a modern version of the classic M1907 rifle sling that has been proven an outstanding design for marksmen and snipers since before World War 1. This year (2007) marks the 100 year mark for the M1907 design. Both detachable front and rear sling swivels can be seen on the opposite ends of the sling. (Photo: KAC)
Below: The rear and front attachment of the sling swivels. Both sling swivels attach to studs; the rear stud has a limited amount of pivot and the front stud is attached to an adapter plate that attaches to the lower rail of the RAS (rail attachment system). When the sling is not used, the front stud provides an attachment point for the Harris folding bipod. (Photos: KAC)
