I would like to be able to enter a NSN and find out what it can be used
on, i.e. its end use. For example, you have a case of bolts with NSN
xxx and you would like to know what all it can be used on. I have
looked high and low for this information and have not found it on a
public site. It has been my impression that the government is only
interested in going the other way. That is, you need a bolt for a
M35A2, you look it up in a TM and order it by a NSN. If you have any
left over you send it to DRMO.
