U.S. Rifle, Cal. .30, M1 Base Shop Data - The U.S. military manual for the M1 Garand service rifle. This was published at Rock Island Arsenal in February of 1943. It is now 8.5 x 11", with 36 pages and a plastic comb binding so that it will lay flat on your workbench while in use. Each page has been carefully restored in Photoshop to remove the stray spots and marks, and the pages have been enhanced so that it prints as black for easier reading, instead of having the medium gray that is normally associated with the 5th generation photocopies so often found. This includes disassembly/assembly of the bolt, front and rear sights, en-bloc clip parts, and trigger group, and how to rebarrel the receiver. It also includes the necessary dimensions for checking things like the bore, gas cylinder, and piston.
