This is a really cool, rare manual / handout from the estate lot of our SEAL CDR. This 40 page "manual" was a handout given at BUDS to introduce SEALS to the "new" M16 rifle. September 1971 dated. The manual covers parts, operation and trouble shooting with basic parts groups diagrams, etc. This information is all covered in other TM's etc. BUT this was put together in a simple, easy to digest reference handout for SEALS and used in BUDS training. It is not bound and is a simple paper issue with a single staple in the top corner. Unique cover art as well. Overall VG+ to EXC- used condition. It is a paper item that has seen use and shows wear and shows it's age. In the realm of M16 retro collecting as well as SEAL items, this is a cool piece!
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.
