SMA Gun Block Practice Test

A function check is performed after maintenance or after installing a new component to verify that the firearm operates correctly with the recent changes. This step confirms that the action cycles, the safety functions as intended, and the trigger and reset work properly, ensuring the weapon will function safely before returning to service. It’s not meant to be done constantly during use, and simply being clean doesn’t guarantee reliability. After maintenance or part installation is the proper time to confirm everything works together as designed.
