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.
