M2A1 Machine Gun features greater safety, heightened lethality

Back in my Army days, I was a heavy weapons team leader. Among our assigned weapons were the M-2 and M-60 machines guns. Proper head spacing was critical on the Ma Duece. It would have been nice to have the new model back then. It would have saved my guys a lot of effort.

Awesome weapon!

Headspace and timing really isn't an issue if you know your gun. Had a SPC who never used his keys to check, but knew how far to crank forward and back visibly to get the gun to work. It NEVER failed, and he taught us all how to do the same. Never used the gauge again. Helps he was a Ranger and he had a lot of shortcuts that worked on weapons. If you're worried about your flash when firing at night, have you ever heard the Ma Duce at night? It's not like firing a 9mm thinking no one will be able to tell what direction you're shooting from, this bitch is LOUD!! "The unmistakable sound of an AK47.....naw the UNMISTAKABLE sound of Ma Duce"!! Best weapon the Army will ever have.
