Basic Manual of Military Small Arms

PLEASE ORDER BELOW
A Basic Manual of Military Small Arms was first published in 1943 by the Military Service Publishing Company. In 1945, when this edition was printed, it was revised and enlarged to include new World War II weapons. This amazing manual covers in detail virtually all the hand fired weapons used during the war from 1800s vintage pistols through the latest recoilless rifles and bazookas. Comprehensive photographs, diagrams and directions are given about the statistics, ammunition, operation and stripping of every weapon. Any soldier could, after studying this manual, pick up any discarded gun in the field, strip it, clean it and fire it safely. So could any modern collector or enthusiast handle a variety of weapons and discern the subtle differences of model and make. No collector should be without this classic manual. The original was printed on cheap wartime newsprint but this edition has been printed on heavy super-white paper after careful digital restoration. It is not a photocopy. Measures about 8.5 by 11 inches, has glossy, color, soft covers and almost every page is illustrated.
