Armorers Handbook


Recommended Posts

I was given this file when I took the armorers course for my unit. Thought it could be of use for anyone that works on an AR, 92FS, or just any weapon. It discusses ammo and weapons in general besides specific military issue ones. It also covers types of tools used and how to use them.

Its less than a MB so cant hurt ^^.

Also, if anyone has a host other than rapidshare that would be cool to post a link.

the US Army Reserve in MOS 12B3H (Combat Engineer Instructor).

Currently a member of the NY Air National Guard, he serves as an Air Force

Security Police Officer, specializing in weapons instruction.

His experience includes virtually everything related to firearms. He is a

qualified instructor with rifles, shotguns, revolvers, pistols, sub-machineguns,

grenade launchers, machineguns, rocket launchers, flame weapons, mortars,

demolitions and pyrotechnics. He has worked at the Organizational, Direct

Support and General Support levels of maintenance as a weapons specialist. He
