PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

0003 00-1

GENERAL

The 7.62 X 54R mm, PKM machine gun:

1. Is gas-operated.

2. Fires in full automatic (FIRE) mode only.

3. Fires from the open bolt position.

CYCLE OF OPERATION

The cycle of operation is similar in all small arms. Knowledge of what happens during the cycle of operation will help both the operators and the maintainers understand the cause of and remedy for various stoppages.

NOTE

The cycle of operation begins at any of the following listed eight steps.

1. Eight Steps. The cycle of operation contains eight steps:

a. Feeding

b. Chambering

c. Locking

d. Firing

e. Unlocking

f. Extracting

g. Ejecting

h. Cocking

2. Description of Eight Steps. These eight steps are explained below, together with a brief description of what occurs inside the machine gun during each step. Assume that a belt of ammunition is inserted on top of the feed tray.

a. Feeding. Upon initial movement of the bolt going forward, the feed pawl is moved to the right. This forces the feed pawl under the next round in the belt, readying the feed pawl to place the round into the cartridge delinker upon rearward movement of the bolt. As the bolt travels rearward, after firing, the feed lever roller forces the feed lever to the left, placing a round in front of the cartridge delinker.

TM 8370-50107-IN/18 0003 00

0003 00-2

b. Chambering. As the bolt moves forward, the upper locking lug pushes the round. The upper locking lug carries the round forward. The chambering ramp in the feed tray cams the nose of the round downward in front of the bolt, which guides it into the chamber.

c. Locking. As the round enters the chamber, the bolt rotates clockwise and locks into the barrel extension.

d. Firing. When the face of the bolt strikes the rear extension of the barrel, the bolt carrier assembly travels forward a short distance. The bolt carrier pushes the firing pin through the face of the bolt, striking the primer of the round.

e. Unlocking. Expanding gases push the round through the barrel. Some of the gas goes through the gas regulator through the gas block. The gas pushes the gas piston to the rear, turning the bolt counter-clockwise and unlocking the bolt from the chamber.

f. Extracting. Rotation of the bolt loosens the cartridge casing in the chamber. As the bolt travels rearward with the bolt carrier, the casing is pulled from the chamber.

g. Ejecting. The fixed ejector in the receiver forces the spent casing through the casing ejection port (on the left side of the receiver). The empty non-disintegrating belt link is forced out of the belt ejection port as the rearward movement of the bolt positions the next round in the feed tray.

h. Cocking. All parts are in position to begin the cycle of operation over again. The gun will fire as long as the trigger is held to the rear and ammunition is present. When the trigger is released, the sear will engage the sear notch in the bolt carrier, holding the bolt to the rear.

WARNING

DO NOT keep live ammunition near the work area. Failure to follow this warning may cause injury or death to personnel.

FINAL INSPECTION

1. Visually inspect the general appearance of the weapon. The weapon should appear almost new. All metal surfaces are to have a dull, rust, or corrosion-resistant finish with no burrs or deep scratches.

2. Visually inspect the barrel for serviceability. Check for the following:

a. Barrels must be straight, clean; free of rust, powder fouling, bulges, and rings. Fine pitting is allowable.

b. Using moderate hand pressure, check for rotational movement of the front sight in relation to the barrel. If movement between the front sight and barrel exists, replace the weapon.

3. Visually inspect the machine gun for missing parts. All parts must be securely attached, and all modifications must be applied. Steel parts must be rust-free. Pins must be secure and screws must be tight.

4. Functionally inspect the bolt carrier group. Refer to TM 8370-50107-OR/17 and use the following procedures:

a. Charge the weapon with a fluid motion, ensuring the charging handle does not bind.

b. Ensure that the bolt locks and unlocks freely.

5. Function check the weapon with the safety lever in SAFE and FIRE positions. Any portion of this check may be used alone to determine the operational condition of any specific firing position selected.

6. Check the rear sight assembly as follows:

a. Ensure the sight has positive tension of the leaf spring.

b. Ensure the slide clicks into place on range markings on the sight leaf.

7. Perform the following additional checks:

a. Check the firing pin protrusion using the firing pin protrusion gage, P/N 1775045 (WP 0023 00).

b. Check the bore straightness using the bore straightness gage, P/N 1775014 (WP 0023 00).

c. Check for bore erosion using the bore erosion gage, P/N 1775046 (WP 0023 00).

d. Check the firing pin hole using the plain plug “no-go” gage, P/N 1775043 (WP 0023 00).

e. Ensure the ammunition box mount is secure on the receiver.

f. Check the sight assemblies. Ensure that proper adjustment is possible with each assembly.

g. Manipulate the pawls and feed lever to ensure they move smoothly and do not bind.

GAGING

NOTE

Initial gaging is required upon receipt of the weapon. All weapons must be gaged at least once annually.

The gages in the PKM machine gun gage kit are precision tools. When using the gages, handle them with care and use LIGHT pressure to avoid damaging them.

Gaging requirements along with pre-fire inspection (PFI), in accordance with TI 4733-15/11, are to be performed within 30 days of each live fire evolution. Refer to Figure 1.

Figure 1. PKM Gage Kit.
