OD Cotton M79 Grenade Launcher Sling. This is the correct, "as issued" sling for the M79 Grenade Launcher. Technically, these slings were originally procured as Bazooka slings and then repurposed for the M-79. You can tell them apart from rifle slings by several key features: they are wider (they measure 1 3/8" wide), they are shorter (total length is 38", but folded back to buckle, their max length is about 36") and the webbing is much thinner than the standard M1 sling. These have always been tough to find over the years as they were recycled surplus even during the 60's. This sling shows some use and has what appears to be a little paint on one end, but it does not detract. There is some minor wear along some of the edges from use, but it is still very solid with no major damage and will work quite well in the field. If you have an M-79, you need the correct sling for it! Learn More

Pocket, Ammunition, Magazine W/ Carrying Strap. These are nylon magazine shoulder bags that were modeled after the WWII Submachinegun Ammunition bags made to carry Thompson and Grease Gun Mags. Often seen with Aviators and CIDG troops, sometimes seen with SOG / SEALS etc. Basically anyone needing to carry 30rd .45 ACP stick magazines could use these bags effectively. From WWII Through the 60's they were made in canvas and then as part of the shift to Nylon with the M-67 gear, they began making the bags in Nylon. We have several DLA dated (1983) available that are the same as the 1975 dated, just dated a little later. Bags are overall in VG+ to EXC- used condition showing some light fading and use, but no real damage. The DLA dated are on the right side of the group photo, the DSA dated are on the left side.

We had an estate lot from a retired SEAL CDR and in the lot were several manuals / handouts. Included was this interactive, 27 page "manual" that was a handout given at BUDS to introduce SEALS to the "new" M16 rifle. Titled "Introduction & Nomenclature of The US Rifle 5.56MM, M16, M16A1" this booklet has diagrams and vocabulary building exercises. The premise is that you read a paragraph and then fill in the blank. When you get to the end of sections, you take quizzes labeling the parts. The goal is to build familiarity with the names of the working parts of the rifle through repetition. We scanned the original and have reprinted it so you can have a new copy that is fresh and durable. The blanks have all been filled in by ENS Nelson, who was newly sent to the Naval Amphibious School at Coronado. His name is on the front cover and his hand written answers are in pencil are throughout. The fresh manual has infantry blue cardstock covers front and back just like the original. The photo of the manual with is shown for comparison, but to be clear, this listing is for a new reproduction copy of the original. Learn More

This is a really cool, rare manual from the estate lot of our SEAL CDR. This is an interactive 27 page "manual" that was a handout given at BUDS to introduce SEALS to the "new" M16 rifle. Titled "Introduction & Nomenclature of The US Rifle 5.56MM, M16, M16A1" this booklet has diagrams and vocabulary building exercises. The premise is that you read a paragraph and then fill in the blank. When you get to the end of sections, you take quizzes labeling the parts. The goal is to build familiarity with the names of the working parts of the rifle through repetition. The workbook is in excellent used condition, but the blanks have all been filled in by ENS Nelson who was newly sent to the Naval Amphibious School at Coronado. His name is on the front cover and his hand written answers in pencil are throughout. In the realm of M16 retro collecting as well as SEAL items, this is a cool piece and not something often encountered! Buyer will receive a PDF document that I put together covering the owner's US Navy career. The bio packet includes his Naval Academy Diploma, Commission in the Navy, Promotion to Commander while in Naval Special Warfare Unit Two, ID while serving in the Middle East, a great team pic in boats, and best of all, his hand written application to be a Foreign Service Officer after his retirement. This document has page after page where he outlines his entire career in the Navy to bolster his application as a Foreign Service Officer. Learn More

We had an estate lot from a retired SEAL CDR and in the lot were several manuals / handouts. Included was this Jan, 1967 dated Demolition of Explosives Manual put out by the U.D.T. Training Division. The manual is 77 pages long and has explanations of different explosives, detonators, their use etc. There is tons of training information / reference material as well as diagrams and notes. We scanned the original and have reprinted it so you can have a new copy that is fresh and durable. The photo of the manual in a three ring binder is of the original for reference. We have reprinted the manual adding the correct pink cardstock covers front and back like the original for durability. We then placed in a retro styled metal long brad folder to keep with the vintage feel and a "realistic" look for a training handout. Learn More
