What are the proper procedures to clear a MK19?
In a Firing Situation: 1. Move the safety switch to S (SAFE). 2. Open the top cover assembly. If all the ammunition has NOT been fired, the bolt is to the rear and a round is on the bolt face. If the bolt is forward, lock it to the rear 3. Take the ammunition from the feed tray by reaching beneath the feed tray and pressing the primary and secondary positioning pawls. While pressing the position pawls, slide the linked rounds out of the MK 19 through the feed throat. 4. Insert a section of the cleaning rod or bayonet through either side of the receiver rail. Place it on top of the live round or cartridge case, as close to the bolt face as possible, and push down. This action forces the round out of the MK 19. 5. Lower and pull both charger handles to the rear. 6. Inspect the chamber and bolt face to ensure that no live rounds are in the weapon. 7. Place the safety switch on F (FIRE) (Figure 2-6). 8. Maintain rearward pressure on the charging handle, press the trigger and ease the bolt
