Technical Manual (TM 9-1005-222-35) for .30cal M1, M1C, and M1D Rifles June 1969 FSN 1005-674-1425
Add a strong piece of Vietnam War-era U.S. Army rifle documentation to your collection with this Technical Manual TM 9-1005-222-35 for the Rifle, Caliber .30: M1, M1C, and M1D. Dated June 1969, this manual covers the legendary M1 Garand and its two sniper rifle variants, the M1C and M1D.
This is a higher-level maintenance reference for one of the most important American rifle families ever issued. The TM 9-1005-222-35 manual family is documented as a Direct Support, General Support, and Depot Maintenance Manual Including Repair Parts and Special Tool Lists for the M1, M1C, and M1D rifles.
Historical Significance
The M1 Garand is one of the most respected U.S. service rifles of the 20th century. The National Park Service notes that American troops carried it from World War II through the Korean War, and that it served U.S. soldiers, Marines, and sailors from 1936 to 1957.
This manual is especially appealing because it also covers the M1C and M1D sniper rifles. Those variants represent the scoped precision side of the Garand family and are highly desirable subjects for U.S. military rifle collectors.
The June 1969 date gives this manual added interest. By that time, the M1 rifle family had already become historic, but the Army still maintained technical documentation for the rifles, sniper variants, parts, tools, and support procedures.
The M1, M1C, and M1D Rifle Connection
The collector value is in the lineup. This manual covers:
- Rifle, Caliber .30: M1 – FSN 1005-674-1425
- Rifle, Caliber .30: M1C Sniper’s – FSN 1005-674-1430
- Rifle, Caliber .30: M1D Sniper’s – FSN 1005-674-1431
Army technical data identifies the M1, M1C, and M1D as clip-fed, gas-operated, air-cooled, semiautomatic shoulder weapons. It also notes the key sniper-rifle difference: the M1C has the telescope mounted to the receiver, while the M1D has the telescope mounted to the barrel. The M1C and M1D also require a flash hider and cheek pad.
That makes this manual useful for standard Garand collectors as well as collectors focused on sniper rifle accessories, M84 telescope displays, cheek pads, flash hiders, and .30 caliber U.S. rifle documentation.
