Description
Add a strong piece of Vietnam War-era Browning machine gun documentation to your collection with this Technical Manual Change 1 for TM 9-1005-212-35. This change notice covers the .30 Cal Browning M1917A1, M1919A4, and M1919A6 machine guns, along with the M1917A1, M2, and M74 tripod mounts.
This is a Change 1 update for the original TM 9-1005-212-35, issued September 7, 1965. It is not the full base manual. For collectors, that makes it a useful companion piece for completing a full TM 9-1005-212-35 manual set.
Historical Significance
The original TM 9-1005-212-35 was a Direct Support, General Support, and Depot Maintenance Manual, including Repair Parts and Special Tool Lists, for the .30 Cal M1917A1, M1919A4, and M1919A6 Browning machine guns and their associated tripod mounts. Reference listings identify the 1965 manual as covering the M1917A1 and M2 tripod mounts as well as the M74 machine gun-rifle tripod mount.
The .30 caliber Browning machine gun family has major collector appeal. The M1917A1 represents the water-cooled heavy machine gun tradition. The M1919A4 is the classic air-cooled Browning used in ground, vehicle, and flexible mount roles. The M1919A6 added the portable light-machine-gun-style configuration, with features such as a shoulder stock, carrying handle, bipod, and lighter barrel.
This May 1967 Change 1 sits in the Vietnam War period, when the Army was still maintaining official documentation for older but proven Browning machine gun systems. That gives it strong historical value for collectors of World War II, Korean War, Cold War, and Vietnam-era small-arms paperwork.
