The idea was that a comic book would be easier to relate to than a technical manual. The comic covered basic operation and field maintenance of the M16A1. 30 pages in full color vs the normal black and white. Training and Field Manual Learn More

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
