Description
Add a useful piece of Vietnam War-era U.S. Army small-arms repair history to your collection with this Technical Manual Change 2 for TM 9-1005-301-30. This change notice covers the repair of wooden, fiber glass/plastic, and plastic parts used on small-arms weapons.
This is a Change 2 update for the original TM 9-1005-301-30, issued October 21, 1968. It is not the full base manual.
Historical Significance
This manual change comes from the Vietnam War period. At that time, the Army was using older weapons with wood parts and newer weapons with plastic parts.
That makes this update a good piece of small-arms repair history. It shows the change from classic wood stocks to newer plastic and fiber glass parts used on weapons like the M14, M16, and M79.
Army manuals were working books. They helped troops identify, service, and support real equipment in the field.
What This Change Covers
This change update is tied to direct support maintenance. That means repair work beyond basic user care.
The TM 9-1005-301-30 manual line covers repair materials, tools, inspection steps, wood repair, fiber glass/plastic repair, plastic repair, and fitting procedures. Later records for this manual line confirm the same title and subject: Direct Support Maintenance Manual, Repair of Wooden, Fiber Glass/Plastic or Plastic Components of Small Arms Weapons.
