REPORT OF EVALUATION ON NAVY CONVERSION OF RIFLE, U. s. CAL .30 , Ml TO FIRE 7 .62MM AMMUNITION BY MODIFICATION TO THE BARREL

The primary purpose of this investigation wao to valuate ~d

dotermino the 'feas ibility and practicability of modifying rebuilt ifi e p

U. s. Ca .30, Ml to fire 7.62MM ammunition utilizing a Navy design steal

bushing assembled in the barrel chamber employing tho Navy aasemb~y

procedur • Thio modification was primarily intended to be a simple and

quick conomical field converaion.

Ii. CO.'CLUSIONS

• There is no positive method of assuring that the bushing will

b r t ined in the barrel chamber during life of barrel .

2. The Ml Rifle convorted to fire 7.6ZMM emmunition is considered

uncaf for launching ·gronad bacause of excesa1vQly high bolt recoil

III. RECOMMENilA.TIONS

1. In the event of adoption of the MlE14 Rifle, it is

recommended that the solid barrel with ? . 62MM chawbv~ ta .. ·.,,.

of 1 i le barrels converted by means of a separate bushin to avoid

poton icl unsafe conditions .

2. The MlE14 Rifle should not be used for grena launching.

3. A flash hider should be used with t he conv rtad l Riflec . ) /f· l .. I h

4. A spacer \ similar to the ~!!'.t:I_Y..~.~'!~~.f}.f~···· ~?.e. .. -~fle, Cal • 30

raion should be used with the converted rifle to aid in guiding t ho 3 v

hortar 7.62MM cartridge into the chamber, and also prev~~t the oading

0 clip filled with Cal . 30 ammunition . ' ,.

V. DESIGN EVALUATION AND RESULTS

1. The design evaluation described in the above pro~: am io

outlined and the results summarized as follows:

a. Review of Ml Rifle barrel drawings to idenc -.] ~aaign

changes released during mass production, for effect on bush~ne ~o tention.

A review was made of Ml Rifle drawings used in

c .nection with production of Ml barrel. Two chamber r~ "uirements

affecting pre-1942 m~ufactured barre·ls at. the front neck diame er and

l ocat ion of second shoulder were found which could signif~c~ tly

affect assembleability of bushing. These dimensions are shown in sl tch

number 2.

b. Reviaw of 11 barrel d, v i tiona authorized for ffcct

on r etention of th bushing.

A r view of authorized deviations relative to Ml b~rol

chamb r dimon ion41 r quir menta indicated that the deviations would not

•. dvoroe ly aff ct au mble bility and retention of bush ng ip barre l .. I

chmnb r.

c. Conduct dimensional studies of the inter olationship

b two n tho Ml Rifle bolt osembly, headapace condi i • 7.6ZMM

cartridge cas and tho bus.hing in the Ml Rifle barre 1 chamber.

(1) Study showed that there can be a resultant

diametral interference of .008 inch between the chamber body and the

mating.surface of the 7.62MM cartridge case se shown in Sketch Numb r 3.

This would n c oait te modification to Ml Rifl barr 1 chamb r body to

Headquarters AWC authorized the Armory dur ing

early phase. of the program to design a special .reamer to r ~.ove the

interference after the bushing was seated by firing two M80 Bal1

rounds .

(2) Tha Navy drawing 2256892 Rev B4, dated 24 Oct 1963,

required phosphate coating of the bushing. This would affect re tent ion

of bushing in barrel chamber, since the coefficient of frict ion between

phosph ted surfaces and steel is less than that of steel on ~ ~~el.

The bushing should be free of any protective finish.

Note: Midway through the program the phosphate coating requirement

was deleted.

(3) The fit between the bushing diame ter and ~~~ing

barrel chamber diameter (Sketch Number 4) and the front neck can =esult in

an interference of .0015 with current barrel requirements and .0019 with

pre-1942 barrel requirements. An interference can result at the second

shoulder of the barrel involving length A, Sketch No. 2. T' is st dy

takes into consideration the resultant shortening of dimensions based

on extremes of tolerances relative to receiver, barre l and bolt, with

barrel shoulder crush and maximum stock removed from the first shoulder

of the barrel during the headspacing operation of the rebuilt -~. Rifle .

Sketch Number 5 illustrates that the front portion of the bushing can

strike' the second shoulder of the chamber and prevent the bushin rom

seatin because of a .0015 interference (current barrel design) to .0105

....... ~...... (S) With tho bushing assembled in th b ol

may be are ultant maxi~ free run of bullet of . 5177 inch in bu"l t

seat area prior to engraving by the rifling (See Sketch rumbcr 8).

The max~ free travel of bullet in Ml Rifle is .065 inch. Because

o length of bullet free run, greater than normal gas leakage wi

result in l arge muzzle flash . Excessive flash was observed during

kinematic tests explained later in report . Gas leakage will p~obably

accelerate erosion in bullet seat area in both o~!ginal barrel and t

softer bushing material. This may wear away the bushing material, - ~ ct

holding force of bushing, and result in loosening or complete loss,o£ tho

bushing from · chamber . The bushing material does not.have the erosio~

resisting qualities of the original barrel material . A l oose bushi in

barrel will disable the weapon. Complete loss of bushing can resu in

double feeding, one live round into another.

d. Study the dimensional relationship of eight r~und

cartridge clip and the Ml Rifle receiver when using 7. 62MM ~~~itio .. ,

(2) Sketch Number 9 shows the minimum cl crane

unition. Th ,0035 minimum claaranc that may r sult cor t aL

we pona with a cartridge clip filled with 7,62MM ammunition may ~

margin 1, especially when the rifle is expouod to dus t d d rt.

e. Evaluation of Navy Bushing fit in barrel.

(1) The Navy Bushing design under all cor.cl t ic~ o

would not provide necessary plastic yielding of material to i nsure

permanent assembly in barrel chamber.

(2) The mintmum clearance between barrel and bushi 3

must be sufficient so that yield of bushing beyond limit wi 1 provide

plastic flow to conform to barrel chamber configuration with r ~dual

stress to result in sufficient pressure interference fit for r tentio

of bushing.

f. Non-destructive examination of barre s in conv ~ t d

rifles .

In all converted test rifles in which an interfere ce

condition in first shoulder area was eliminated, X-Ray examination

showed the bushings. were fully seated in barrel chamber.

considered more costly· for manufacture.

IX . COI'fi'ARATIVE ANALYSIS OF Ml RIFLE BARREL WITH

BUSHING VS NEW BARREL WITH 7.62MM CHAMBE

. I BARREL WITH BUSHING

1. Bushing conversion less costly.

2. Life quest ~onable.

3. Poorer accuracy, especially at longer ranges.

4. No economical means of inspection of bushing in barrel. No positive assurance bushing will remain in chamber.

5. Free run of bullet approximately 9 times that of Ml or Ml4 barrels.

6. Bushing may become loose presenting a safety hazard.

7. Barrel bullet seat erosion c.ccelera d.

8 . Muzzle flash greater due to greater gas leakage.

NEW BARREL WITH 7. 62MM C :IAMB R

1. Cost greater than bushing.

2. Barrel life shoul be quel to Ml Barrel .

3 • . Accuracy equa to that o· iflc.

4. No problem.

5. Free run controlled to min~ by barrel design.

6. No hazard.

7. Erosion should be comparu~le to that experienced in the Ml barrel. ·

8. Flash will be less due to control of free run of bullet. •

9. 7.6ZMM M80 Ball ammunition not designed 9. for compatibility with Ml Rifle

Barrel can be manufactured with 1 turn in 12 inche rif ing twi t.

rifling twist.

. 10. Mechanic 1 properties of bushing 10. No problem. material do not match barrel steel. More susceptible to wear .

11. Possibility of damaging or removal · of bushing by use of a ruptured cart~idge extractor and chamber cle 1ng equipment .

· 12. Gr nade launching r ulta in a baz doua condition.
