Description
Add a useful piece of U.S. Army mortar history to your collection with this Technical Manual TM 9-1015-200-34. This manual covers the 81mm M29 and M29A1 Mortars W/E and is dated June 1974.
Historical Significance
The M29 and M29A1 81mm mortars gave troops close fire support from cover. The M29A1 is described as a smooth-bore, muzzle-loaded, high-angle fire weapon with a cannon, bipod, and baseplate.
This manual fits well with Vietnam War, Cold War, and U.S. Army infantry support weapon collections.
What This Manual Covers
This is a support-level maintenance manual. It is useful for repair study, parts research, and service history.
A later Army manual record shows that the 1985 M29A1 direct support manual replaced a manual dated June 10, 1974, helping place this issue in the M29 mortar manual line.
Army manuals were working books. They helped troops identify, use, service, and support real equipment in the field.
