This 20mm XM27 Guide for the Firing Safety Lever Cartridge Link Ejection Chute Control Assy (P/N 11594371, FSN 1005-933-1149) is a genuine U.S. military surplus component designed for use within the XM27 powered cupola weapons system. This assembly served as a control and support interface within the ejection chute and safety mechanism of the 20mm cannon installation, contributing to reliable ammunition handling and operator safety.
The XM27-powered cupola was a fully enclosed and remotely operated turret system developed for the M114A2 Command and Reconnaissance Carrier during the Cold War. It was intended to enhance crew survivability while delivering sustained 20mm firepower from the M139. The cartridge link ejection system was essential in maintaining operational reliability by efficiently clearing spent links and casings, preventing malfunctions in the confined armored turret.
This guide supported the firing safety lever mechanism and played a secondary role in the routing or alignment of the cartridge link ejection path. Components like this were crucial in ensuring both mechanical synchronization and functional redundancy within the XM27 turret's fire control and safety subassemblies.
