the mechanical operation of the M1 rifle.Itincludes a detailed description of the rifle and itsgeneral characteristics;procedures for disassem-bly and assembly;methods of loading;an ex-planation of functioning;a discussion of stop-pages and immediate action;a description of theammunition;and instructions on the care andcleaning of both the weapon and ammunition.The material presented is applicable,withoutmodification,to both nuclear and nonnuclearwarfare.  \nb.Marksmanship training is covered in FM23-71.  \nc.Users of this manual are encouraged to sub-mit recommended changes or comments to im-prove the manual.Comments should be keyed tothe specific page,paragraph,and line of the textin which the change is recommended.Reasonsshould be provided for each comment to insureunderstanding and complete evaluation.Com-ments should be forwarded direct to the Com-mandant,U.S.Army Infantry School,Fort Ben-ning,Ga.  \n## 2.Importance of Mechanical Training\n\nThe rifle is the soldier's basic weapon.It giveshim an individual and powerful capability forcombat.To get the most out of his individualcombat capability,the soldier must develop twoskills to an equal degree:he must be able to firehis weapon well enough to get hits on battlefieldtargets,and he must know enough about itsworking parts to keep them operating smoothlyso the rifle will not fail him.The soldier gets hisfiring skill on marksmanship training ranges andhe learns how to keep his rifle in firing condition  \nfrom the mechanical training that is outlined inthis manual.  \n## 3.Description of the Rifle\n\nThe U.S.rifle caliber .30,M1,(fig.1)is anair-cooled,gas-operated,clip-fed,and semiauto-matic shoulder weapon.This means that the aircools the barrel;that the power to cock the rifleand chamber the succeeding round comes fromthe expanding gas of the round fired previously;that it is loaded by inserting a metal clip(con-taining a maximum of eight rounds)into the re-ceiver;and that the rifle fires one round each timethe trigger is pulled.  \n## 4.General Data\n\nWeight:  \nComplete with sling,eight-round clip and cleaningequipment(approximate)_11%pounds.  \nLength:  \nOverall
