M1D Armourer Instructions, anyone have them?

when I find the document I will post it - never say never

I look forward to seeing what you’ve got. Maybe you are thinking of the so called USMC 1952 (or whatever you want to call it), which is just a regular M1C with a Kollmorgan scope and different mount.

No, it was a procedure with ordering info for parts drills and taps

it is in one of the many boxes in the basement somewhere

[Mark in Rochester]

There was an additional document that specified how to acquire the drill and tap. Have not found that yet. I doubt any collector would accept a USMC modified Receiver as legitimate unless there was a video of Col Puller him self with his black and decker.


See Sec. 7.2

INSTALLATION OF TELESCOPE MOUNT ON UNDRILLED AND UNTAPPED RECEIVERS

Mark, that's not a document, it's a technical manual. A complete instruction on how to. A document would suggest a direction to undertake conversions. It's better than just a document, which could be taken as read and left to rot. With this to light, collectors can re-examine their rifles...this would have been used.

Yes, that is interesting. Apparently Nicolaus Associates sells that set.
