Another useful manual to look for is TM 9-2200 "Small Arms Material and associated equipment". It was updated and republished periodically. (i have copies from 1943 and 1949.

This book does not gor into the detail thet the other twoo manuals do but its essentially a catalog of what was available to the troops along with illustations and basic facts.

Regards,

Jim
