Thanks again.  I've given most of them a decent read and have always appreciated all the work you have done compiling the folder.

The LRRP Conference 1968 is amazing reading. The LTG Peers part was especially interesting. Thanks.

I love Adobe PRO. I can orientate and enhance some of the really bad copies. Still working on the 177E2 interim report. Got to re orientate some of the pages. The M16 erosion report came out really well.

Thank you! Any chance you have a copy of the Armalite manual that would be correct for the 601?

Microsoft's SmartScreen keeps blocking the PS174 file from download and then sent to quarantine when you override the download block and forces you to delete it.  You may want to examine the file.


On edit, it look lie MS's smartscreen is trying to block about half of that file set.  Odd

I checked all the files with Avast and Spybot Search & Destroy.  No issues noted.  Not sure what's up with MS and their SmartScreen software.  I reported all of the files as false positives so hopefully the resolve the matter.

I've been looking for that manual with sexy Connie Rod for awhile now. Thanks!

Seriously, when you read that PM manual you start to realize just how much of a problem the M-16 jamming issues were in Vietnam. The manual basically admonished troops to keep their rifles squeaky-clean and not let them get too dirty or full of water (which was kinda hard to do when you had to go fording through streams and rice paddies all the time). Kinda makes you wonder if Charlie had a similar manual for the AK-47. Maybe not!

Hi Guys--

I really like the old manuals on the early M16s and XM177s.  i just notice the PM article on the Shorty.  Does anybody have a digital copy of POMM 9-1005-294-14 that is mentioned?

Cheers

I've been looking for a few years now and so far, nothing. I've only seen a picture of the cover in a book. The XM177E2 manual, 9-1005-294-14/1 should be in the download in the OP though.

That would be a cool manual to have. Anyone thought about doing a FOIA request to get a copy. FYI also May sent me another manual to scan this weekend so that should be added by Sunday. It's a yellow commercial one that looks to be a 1964 M16 & XM16E1 manual.
