## Discrepancy

DURING OVERHAUL OF MLG, PN B00A702925A, SN BADL-475, SLIDE TUBE PN 101A703013, SN BA66, WAS FOUND TO HAVE A CRACK EXTENDING FROM THE TOP OF THE TUBE THROUGH THE HOLE FOR THE SOCKET SET SCREW, PN 741M1-4D, AND DOWN THE TUBE FOR AN ADDITIONAL 6.102 INCHES.  THIS CRACK ALLOWED THE TUBE TO ''OPEN'' AND RELEASE THE PISTON S/A, PN 100A703172, AND IT WAS FOUND STUCK UP INSIDE THE CYLINDER.  SUBJECT SLIDE TUBE HAS BEEN REJECTED, AND WILL BE REPLACED.  (X)
