## Discrepancy

DURING THE APPROACH TO DFW, THE UNSAFE GEAR INDICATION ILLUMINATED, THE CREW EXECUTED A GO-AROUND AND MANUALLY EXTENDED THE LANDING GEAR.  UPON LANDING THE GEAR PINS WERE INSTALLED AND TAXIED TO THE GATE WITH NO INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE NLG AND FOUND THE LOCK ACTUATOR ROD END BROKEN OFF.  REMOVED AND REPLACED THE LOCK ACTUATOR PER MM 323311 RII COMPLIED WITH OPERATIONALLY CHECKS GOOD.  GEAR SWING CHECKS GOOD.
