    Default WW2 War Dept Manuals

    These folks have a whole list of PDF manuals you can download for reference. There are quite a few weapons manuals.

    CSP is what you make it.

    A picture of your gun is worth 1,000 words. A crappy picture is only worth 100.

    I was hoping to find a manual for my SC1903a3. Didn,t see it. Jeff: do you know what the spring is for ( located on front section of stock, next to sling clamp)?

    I think tghis is the one you want. TM 9-270 U.S. Rifle, Cal. .30, M1903A4 (Sniper's), Characteristics and Operation; and Use of Telescopic Sight (28 Sep 1943) (1.26MB). I bought a re-print caleed TM 9-1270, probably the same.

    It's down under weaponry. The spring holds the sling band in place.

    Off topic, but I'd like to thank you John Sukey,
    presuming you are the one from Tucson AZ. That was nice letter you wrote to the editor of the (Phoenix) Arizona Republic paper (we call it the "repugnant"). IT was about blaming the NRA for the shootings in Tucson / Gifford.
    Thanks

    I've picked up a few TM 9-285 Shotguns all types 9/42, TM 9-2800 Standard Military Motor Vehicles 9/43, TM 10-405 The Army Cook 4/42, shows you just how to cut up a beef critter.

    I have a training manual for the B36 and the B26, I made the mistake of trying to share information on the B36 and how complicated it was to fly. It was about that time I found members on reloading forums would not accept anything beyond; It was a very complicated airplane to fly.

    And then there is the 'BLUE JACKET'. In the earl 30's the Blue Jacket claimed carbon tetrachloride when used on a fire could kill you. Carbon tetrachloride was banned in the late '50's, up until that time it was the law; you had to carry one.

    One of the bad effects was phosgene.
