Description
Add a strong piece of Cold War U.S. Army small-arms documentation to your collection with this Technical Manual TM 9-1005-206-14P/4 for Commercial Rifles, dated July 1963. This manual is titled Operator, Organizational and Field Maintenance Repair Parts and Equipment for Commercial Rifles and was issued by Headquarters, Department of the Army.
This is a great reference for collectors of U.S. military training rifles, match rifles, commercial rifles used in Army channels, and Cold War ordnance publications. It covers the parts and support side of classic American rifles used for training, match competition, and marksmanship programs.
Historical Significance
During the Cold War, the Army documented more than standard service rifles. It also maintained technical references for selected commercial rifles used in training, competition, and support roles.
That gives this manual real collector appeal. It ties famous American commercial rifles to official Army maintenance and repair-parts documentation. These rifles were not battlefield arms like the M1 Garand or M14. They were precision and training rifles that helped support marksmanship skill, competition programs, and small-bore practice.
This manual is also a strong companion to collections focused on ROTC, National Match shooting, DCM-style rifle collecting, and U.S. Army small-arms training history.
The Commercial Rifle Connection
This manual covers several classic American rifles that collectors still recognize today.
Listed rifles include:
- .22 Remington 40X-H1
- .22 Winchester 52D
- .22 Winchester 75
- .22 Remington 513-T
- .30-06 Winchester Model 70
- .30-06 Winchester Model 70 Special Match
- .300 H&H Magnum Winchester Model 70
Manual text also identifies the Remington 40X-H1 and Winchester 52D as bolt-action, single-shot rifles chambered for .22 Long Rifle, classified for match competition for the armed services. It identifies the Remington 513-T and Winchester 75 as bolt-action, magazine-fed training rifles.
What This Manual Covers
As a 14P technical manual, this publication focuses on repair parts, equipment, and maintenance support rather than general shooting instruction.
This manual is especially relevant for:
- commercial rifle repair-parts research
- Remington 40X-H1 reference
- Remington 513-T reference
- Winchester 52D reference
- Winchester 75 reference
- Winchester Model 70 match rifle research
- Cold War marksmanship collections
- U.S. Army small-arms technical manual libraries
- museum and archival reference collections
The manual includes exploded-view style parts coverage for major assemblies and groups, including bolt assemblies, barrel and receiver groups, trigger groups, rear sight assemblies, and stock assemblies for covered rifle models.

Why This Collectible Stands Out
This manual stands out because it documents the military support side of commercial rifles. It is not just a civilian rifle booklet. It shows how the Army cataloged and supported selected commercial rifles within official maintenance channels.
For collectors, that adds real interest. It pairs well with Remington 513-T, Remington 40X, Winchester 52D, Winchester 75, and Winchester Model 70 displays.
It is also a strong addition to a small-arms technical manual library. It helps show the training and marksmanship side of Army weapons history beyond standard combat rifles.
