Description
20mm M61A1 Vulcan Inner Ejection Guide
The 20mm M61A1 Vulcan Inner Ejection Guide, identified by Army/Springfield P/N 11010759 and General Electric P/N 822D966P1, is a U.S. military component associated with a 20mm ammunition feed and ejection mechanism.
It is an individual inner guide, not a complete ejector assembly, feed system, gun pod, or weapon.
Historical Significance
The M61A1 Vulcan became an important U.S. aircraft armament system during the jet age. General Electric also developed external gun-pod installations that combined the six-barrel 20mm gun with ammunition storage, feed, ejection, drive, and control equipment.
The SUU-16/A gun pod carried an M61A1 Vulcan with a ram-air-turbine drive and a self-contained ammunition feed system. It provided an external cannon option for aircraft including the F-4 Phantom II.
What This Item Is and Does
The 20mm M61A1 Vulcan Inner Ejection Guide is a shaped guide component within an ammunition feed and ejection mechanism. Guide components helped maintain the path and alignment of ammunition-system elements moving through the mechanism.

Why This Item Matters
This guide preserves two useful military identifiers and a General Electric drawing reference tied to the M61A1-era aircraft gun-system supply chain. It is suitable as a reference component for studying the individual parts of a larger ammunition-handling mechanism.
For collectors and display builders, it represents the often-overlooked feed and ejection hardware that supported externally mounted 20mm aircraft armament systems.
