    No dramas! Upper buttplate screw, yes? Juuust making sure....

    Rick, a couple of "officious" refs:

    Colt Manual No. CM101 M16A1 Rifle Operation and Maintenance

    TM 9-1005-249-24&P ---- (US Army) M16icon and M16A1
    TM 05538C-23&P/2 ------ (USMC) M16A2

    All oldish, but except possibly for the Colt manual, relatively easily available, I should think. The TMs are possibly more info than required at this point, but since you ARE "the Librarian"....

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Mike Pannone's book on the M16icon family of weapons is a real "handbook" and made for privates/corporal level of general info. While it's written for a grunt, the basic info is sound and it's in an easy to follow format. Only runs about $20.

    Is an example.
