    (Left) Doug Van Dyke, artillery supervisor, Production Plant Barstow, Marine Depot Maintenance Command; points out the sighting mechanism on the M777 lift gun, June 1. He said the crews that rig the sling up to the underside of a helicopter to transport the howitzer by air have to remove the sights or they will break off from pressure of the sling cables.
