SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING
FAILURE TO FOLLOW SAFETY GUIDELINES
MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH
AMMUNITION
Do not use hand loaded, re-manufactured, or surplus ammunition.
Always use new, clean, dry, properly stored, and correct caliber
ammunition from reputable manufacturers.

SAFETY DISTANCE
Bullets fired from this rifle may travel as far as 4 miles. Make
certain that you have an adequate backstop.

HEARING PROTECTION
Always wear adequate hearing protection when the rifle is firing;
wear both earplugs and shooting muffs together for maximum
protection. This includes observers. Observers should always be
behind the shooter.

EYE PROTECTION
Appropriate eye protection should be worn when both shooting and
maintaining your rifle. It is normal for firing to generate airborne dust
and debris. Protect your eyes from solvents and uncaptured parts
under spring pressure while performing maintenance on your rifle.
2
 barrett.net
MUZZLE CONTROL
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Never allow
your muzzle to point at anything that you do not intend to shoot.
Upon firing the muzzle brake releases high-pressure gas from
its side ports that can damage objects or cause injuries, keep
everything away from the vicinity of the muzzle brake.

ASSUME EVERY GUN IS LOADED

Always treat every gun as if it were loaded. Look and feel for an
empty chamber. Do not trust the extractor to provide an empty
chamber.

BEWARE OF BARREL OBSTRUCTIONS

Ensure the barrels bore is free of obstructions before you fire your
rifle. Even the smallest obstruction such as a stuck patch or even
grease will cause increased pressures that can rupture the barrel.

KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER

Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until
your sights are aligned on your target and you intend to fire.

KEEP YOUR SAFETY ON

Keep your safety on until your sights are aligned on your target
and you intend to fire. Please note that the safety lever will not
rotate into the SAFE position until the bolt is open or the action
is cocked.

FAILURE TO FIRE
If your rifle fails to fire when you pull the trigger, do not pull the
charging handle. Keep the rifle pointed toward a safe area and
wait 2 minutes. If a hang-fire (slow ignition) has occurred, the
round will probably fire within two minutes. If the round does not
fire, remove and inspect the cartridge. If the primer is indented
properly, discard it in a safe manner.

MAINTAIN YOUR RIFLE PROPERLY

Performing proper maintenance, as outlined in this manual,
insures that your rifle will be safe to shoot and will perform to
design specification for many years. Alterations, modifications or

3
240LW
adjustments may damage your rifle, make it unsafe to fire, and
will void warranty claims.

STORE YOUR RIFLE SAFELY

It is your responsibility to take reasonable precaution to secure
your rifle, keep it properly secured and prevent unauthorized use.

ALCOHOL, MEDICATIONS AND DRUGS

Do not handle or operate your rifle under the influence of alcohol,
medication, or drugs.

DESCRIPTION OF FIREARM
The 240LW is a general-purpose machine gun capable of mounting
on a bipod, tripod, aircraft, or vehicle. It is belt fed, air-cooled, gas
operated, fully automatic and fires from an open bolt. The gas from
firing one round provides the energy to fire the next one. Thus, the
240LW fires automatically as long as it has ammunition and the
operator holds the trigger to the rear. As the gun fires, the links
separate and eject from the side while empty cases eject from the
bottom. Each 240LW is supplied with a spare barrel. The bore of
the barrel is chromium plated to reduce wear.

INSPECTION
With the 240LW disassembled into its eight major components
each area of the gun and related equipment should be inspected.
Shiny surfaces do not indicate that the gun is unserviceable.
Any broken or missing parts should be repaired or replaced.
Preventative Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) should
be performed every 90 days, regardless if the gun has been used
within that time.

If rust is found on a gun, PMCS should be performed immediately.

All components should be inspected for broken or missing parts
cracks, dents, burrs, excessive wear, rust, or corrosion. Check
external surfaces for an adequate finish to prevent rust or corrosion.

BUTTSTOCK AND BUFFER ASSEMBLY

Check for burrs and rough edges on mating grooves and flanges.
Check buffer housing for peening, cracking or damage to
include finish missing from the stop above the buffer.
Check buffer shaft for bends, mushrooming, peening and
cracks on face.
Check to ensure the back plate latch locks the buffer assembly
securely to the receiver assembly when installed.
Ensure the hydraulic buffer sticks out through the back plate
and is flush or higher than the protrusion below it.
Check shaft for oil residue. Work the buffer assembly to check
for fluid leakage. Buffer shaft should depress smoothly without
chatter and return promptly when released
Ensure nothing rattles when the operator shakes the buffer,
and that the plug cannot be rotated by finger pressure.
Inspect the buttstock for cracks.
Ensure the back plate locks the buttstock securely to the
receiver assembly when installed.

Clean the bolt and operating rod with rag and CLP.

Remember the following important points during cleaning:

Avoid using gasoline, kerosene, benzene, shaving cream, high-
pressure water, steam, or air for cleaning.
Keep the gas hole bushing free of CLP or RBC because it must
remain dry.
An improperly cleaned gas cylinder and gas regulator plug can
stick together during firing.

Lubricate the following parts with CLP as instructed:

Drive-spring rod assembly.
Bolt.
Receiver inner walls.
Cover assembly (springs, and feed pawls).
Trigger housing (inside only). After you lubricate the gun, cycle
the components by hand to spread the CLP. If you fire a gun
infrequently or store it for prolonged periods, keep a light film
of CLP on it. Apply it to the inside of the gas cylinder and to
the gas piston right after you clean or inspect the gun. Do
preventive maintenance every 90 days, unless your inspection
reveals a need for more frequent servicing. Even when you
keep a gun lubricated, you must still clean and inspect it for
corrosion. Before you use the gun, clean the gas system and
components, and ensure they are free of oil and lubricants.

31
240LW
In unusual conditions, clean and lubricate the 240LW as follows:
Below 0 degrees Fahrenheituse lubricating oil, arctic weather
(LAW). Oil lightly to avoid freeze-up.
Extreme heatuse light coat of CLP.
Damp or salty airuse CLP. Clean and apply frequently.
Sandy or dusty areasuse CLP. Clean and apply frequently,
and wipe with a clean rag after each application to remove any
excess so as not to attract dirt and debris.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
After cleaning, lubricating, and inspecting the gun, it can be
reassembled and a function check should be performed.

ASSEMBLY OF THE BARREL COMPONENTS

1. The gas-regulator plug has three gas inlet setting to maintain
the rate of fire. Setting 1 is for approximately 600 rds/m,
setting 2 is for approximately 625 rds/m and setting 3 is for
approximately 650 rds/m. This design is intended to maintain
a constant rate of fire under adverse conditions and NOT TO
INCREASE RATE OF FIRE. Insert the gas-regulator plug into the
rear of the gas hole bushing so that it is on the necessary gas
setting. The gas port setting number on the regulator should
be facing the barrel. (FIGURE 34).

FIGURE 34

2. Place the gas collar over the front end of the gas regulator
plug. Push the collar against the spring and rotate the collar
counterclockwise until it stops (FIGURE 35).

FIGURE 35

3. With the gas regulator downward and the carrying handle in the
vertical position, place the barrel on the barrel support located
on the gas cylinder. Keeping the gun upright, pull the barrel to
the rear, guiding the gas regulator into the gas cylinder. Pull the
barrel fully into the receiver (FIGURE 36).
4. With the barrel fully seated, rotate the carrying handle com-
pletely to the right, counting the number of clicks. If the num-
ber is between 2 to 7, the headspace is set correctly. If the num-
ber falls outside 2 to 7, ensure that the threads on the barrel
are located on top and bottom and on the left and right on the
inside of the receiver. If the issue persists, turn in the gun to
the unit armorer.

8. Close the ejection port cover.

38
 barrett.net
CYCLE OF OPERATION
Knowing how the gun function is imperative to recognizing and
correcting stoppages. The gun functions automatically as long as
ammunition is fed into it and the trigger is held to the rear. Each
time the operator fires a round, parts of the gun function in a
cycle or sequence. Many of the actions occur at the same time.
This sequence is called the cycle of operation, which starts when
the first round of the belt is placed in the tray groove. The trigger
is then pulled, releasing the sear from the sear notch. When the
trigger is pulled, the back of the sear lowers and disengages from
the sear notch. This allows the expansion of the drive-spring rod
assembly to drive the bolt and operating rod assembly forward.
The cycle stops when the trigger is released and the sear again
engages the sear notch on the bolt and operating rod assembly.

FEEDING
The trigger is pulled to the rear lowering the sear allowing the bolt
and operating rod assembly to move forward. The bolt strips the
first round and the cartridge guides guide the round forward and
prevent the forward movement of the link. The bolt assembly
roller moves the feed lever causing the feed pawls to begin feeding
the next round. The bolt feeds a round into the barrel. As the bolt
assembly moves rearward, the feed lever moves to the right. The
feed pawls move the next round into position against the cartridge
stop.

CHAMBERING
The bolt pushes the round into the chamber and sits firmly against
the barrel, completing chambering.

LOCKING
The operating rod continues pushing forward after the bolt seats
against the barrel forcing the locking lever down, locking it against
the recoil shoulder.

39
240LW
FIRING
The firing pin moves through the bolt and strikes the primer of the
cartridge.

UNLOCKING
Gas from the fired round enters the gas chamber through the gas
regulator forcing the operating rod rearward. The operating rod
pulls back on the locking lever, unlocking the bolt.

EXTRACTING
The extractor holds the cartridge against the breech face as the
operating rod unlocks and moves the bolt rearward.

EJECTING
The ejector pushes the spent round through the ejection port.

COCKING
Gas from the fired round enters the gas port bushing, traveling
through the gas regulator and then entering the piston cup at the
end of the operating rod. The gas then forces the operating rod
rearward compressing the drive spring. The bolt assembly moves
the feed lever causing the feed pawls to move the next round into
position. The Trigger tripping lever moves up when the trigger is
released. The operating rod assembly trips the trigger tripping
lever releasing the sear. The operating rod assembly engages the
sear and prevents the firearm from firing if the trigger has been
released. Cocking completes once the bolt is far enough to the rear
to pick up the next round.

40
 barrett.net
MALFUNCTIONS
A malfunction occurs when a mechanical failure causes the gun to
fire improperly. Defective ammunition or improper operation by the
operator is not considered a malfunction. Sluggish operation and
uncontrolled fire are the most common malfunction. If cleaning
and lubricating the gun fails to fix the problem, then the operator
turns it in to the unit armorer.

UNCONTROLLED FIRE
Uncontrolled fire (the gun continues to fire after the operator
releases the trigger). This is usually caused by the operators failure
to pull and hold the trigger all the way to the rear. The following are
immediate actions for uncontrolled fire:
The operator holds the gun on target and fires the remaining
ammunition (50 rounds or less)
The assistant operator stops the gun from firing by breaking
the belt of ammunition or twisting the links (more than 50
rounds)

STUCK CASING
Swelling of the cartidge occurs when firing. If the swelling is
excessive, the cartridge will be fixed tightly in the chamber and
may not be extracted by the extractor. Once the bolt is locked to
the rear:
1. Place the safety in the Safe position.
2. Keep the firearm pointing in a safe direction and allow the
barrel to cool, especially if just shooting 200 or more rounds
consecutively (see Cook Off warning on page 46).
3. Once the barrel is cool, remove it from the firearm and insert
a cleaning rod into the muzzle to push out the round through
the chamber.

41
240LW
RUPTURED CARTRIDGE
After a cartridge is fired it may be left in a structurally weakened
state and may swell (see Stuck Casing). A properly functioning
extractor may sometimes tear off the base of the cartridge as the
bolt moves to the rear, leaving the rest of the cartridge wedged
inside the chamber. Use the ruptured cartridge tool (FIGURE 46) to
remove the ruptured cartridge using the following process:
1. Remove the barrel
2. Insert the extractor into the chamber where it can grip and
remove the remains of the cartridge.

(MALFUNCTIONS)

IMMEDIATE ACTION
The operator takes immediate action to reduce a stoppage without
seeking the cause. For example, the operator conducts immediate
action when a misfire or cook off occurs. The operator keeps the gun on
his shoulder while performing immediate action procedures. If the gun
stops firing, take the following immediate actions.

DEFINITIONS
A misfire is the failure of a chambered round to fire. Such
failure can be due to an ammunition defect or faulty firing
mechanism.
A cook off is the firing of a round due to the heat of a hot barrel
and not to the firing mechanism. Cook offs can be avoided by
applying immediate action within 10 seconds of a failure to
fire.

44
 barrett.net
An effective memory aid is POPP, which stands for pull, observe, push,
and press:
1. Pull and lock the charging handle to the rear while you
2. Observe the ejection port to see if a cartridge case, belt link, or round
ejects. Ensure that the bolt remains to the rear to prevent double
feeding if a round or cartridge case is not ejected. If a cartridge case,
belt link, or round ejects
3. Push the charging handle to its forward position, take aim on the
target,
4. Press the trigger. If the gun does not fire, take remedial action. If a
cartridge case, belt link, or round fails to eject, take remedial action.

WARNING
A HOT GUN, THAT HAS JUST FIRED 200 OR MORE
SUCCESSIVE ROUNDS, CAN COOK OFF A ROUND WITHOUT
ANY ACTION BY THE OPERATOR.

IF A HOT GUN FAILS TO FIRE, AND YOU MUST CLEAR IT

WHILE THE BARREL IS STILL HOT BY:
1. KEEPING THE COVER CLOSED, PLACE THE GUN ON SAFE
(NO RED SHOWING) AND KEEP IT POINTING DOWN-
RANGE.
2. BEFORE CLEARING AND APPLYING IMMEDIATE OR RE-
MEDIAL ACTION, YOU MUST FIRST WAIT:
TRAINING SITUATIONS: 15 MINUTES.
TACTICAL SITUATIONS: 5 SECONDS.

NOTE: WHEN APPLYING IMMEDIATE OR REMEDIAL ACTION

ON A COLD OR HOT GUN, CHECK TO SEE IF ANY PART OF
THE ROUND (RANGING FROM THE TIP OF THE BULLET TO
THE RIM) IS IN THE CHAMBER. REMOVE THE AMMUNITION
FROM THE FEED TRAY ONLY, THEN CLOSE THE COVER AND
TRY TO FIRE. IF THE GUN FIRES, RELOAD AND CONTINUE
FIRING. IF IT DOES NOT FIRE, THEN CLEAR THE GUN AND
INSPECT THE GUN AND AMMUNITION.

45
240LW

REMEDIAL ACTION
Remedial action is any action taken to determine the cause of a
stoppage and to restore the gun to an operational condition. Do this only
if immediate action fails to fix the problem.
In a training situation, after completing the remedial action
procedures do not fire the gun until an ordnance specialist has
inspected it.
In a combat situation, after you have corrected the stoppage, change
the barrel and try to fire. If the gun fails to function properly, send it
to the unit armorer.

COLD GUN PROCEDURE

When a stoppage occurs with a cold gun and immediate action has
failed, the operator must:
1. Pull the charging handle to the rear, locking the bolt. Return the
charging handle and place the safety to SAFE.
2. Place the gun on the ground, pointing down range, away from the
operators face and open the cover. Perform the four- point safety
check then reload and continue to fire.
3. If the gun fails to fire, clear the gun and inspect it and the ammunition.

HOT GUN PROCEDURE

If the stoppage occurs with a hot gun (200 rounds or more in 2 minutes
or as noted above for training), the operator moves the safety to SAFE,
waits 5 seconds (during training, lets the gun cool for 15 minutes), uses
the same procedures as outlined for cold gun procedures.

JAMMED CHARGING HANDLE

If a stoppage occurs and the operator cannot pull the charging handle
to the rear by hand (the bolt might be fully forward and locked, or only
partially forward), do not force the charging handle to the rear. The
operator must:
1. Try again to pull the charging handle by hand.
2. If the gun is hot enough to cause a cook off, move everyone a safe
distance from the gun and keep them away for 15 minutes.
3. After the gun has cooled, carefully remove buttstock then the drive-
spring rod assembly. Open the cover and disassemble the gun (an
assistant operator can help with this).
4. Remove the round or fired cartridge. Uses cleaning rod or ruptured
cartridge extractor if necessary.
