TO ASSEMBLE FRAME :- Insert trunnion end of safety lever into
its seat in frame, front end of safety lever at right angle to frame. Turn safety lever
forward parallel with frame and into slot. Insert assembled safety lever plunger, frame
cap lock spring and frame cap lock into hole near rear end of frame on left side.
With the thumb push rear end of frame cap lock forward until the head strikes
the end of hole, turn frame cap lock into engagement with holding slot to secure
it in place. Hold frame horizontal, bottom up, rear and toward right and insert
slide until rear end of slide is flush with rear end of frame. See that sear lever pin
is flush with sides of sear. Grasp assembled sear lever with sear between thumb
and index finger of right hand, holding these parts so that the bevel cut at bottom
front end of sear lever is in alignment with front face of sear. With tail of sear
lever extending at right angle to frame, place the semi-circular recess of the sear
over the sear hinge pin in frame. Turn tail of sear lever toward the rear end and
into slot in bottom lug of frame and hold in this position with left hand. Pull
slide rearward as far as it will go. Insert rear end of disconnector into its slot and
hook its semi-circular recess over the disconnector hinge pin. Turn front end of
disconnector forward and inward to hold tail of sear lever in place. While holding
front end of disconnector depressed, insert firing pin into its bore, lug on firing pin
occupying keyway in slide, then move the slide forward until its rear end is again
flush with rear end of frame. This secures the disconnector in place. With buffer
spring, slide spring and firing pin spring assembled to piston assembly, seat the
buffer spring and piston into the frame cap. Grasp frame cap and insert front end
of firing pin spring into its seat in firing pin, holding all in alignment with frame,
allowing slide to move forward. Carefully push frame cap onto rear end of frame,
compressing the springs, screw frame cap into place. Turn frame cap lock until
it is released from its holding slot and snaps back into notch on frame cap thus
locking the latter in place.
The pistol will now be in a cocked position and the firing pin must be uncocked or
snapped before the bolt can be inserted into the rifle receiver.

SEE PLATE VI.
TO UNCOCK OR SNAP THE FIRING PIN : - Push forward on
shoulder of sear lever until firing pin snaps forward. Use corner on locking plate of
magazine or other instrument in the right hand, holding the frame in left hand. Do not
rest the barrel of the pistol against any object while doing this.
CHAPTER III.
TO INSERT PISTOLIN U.S. RIFLE
MODEL 1903 - MARK I.
SEE PLATES I, II, & V.
First see that the pistol is not cocked; this can be readily seen by
drawing the slide back about one - half inch so as to expose the front end of slide
through the ejection port. If point of firing pin is not visible through front end of slide
in this position, the firing pin must be snapped as above. NOTE: - The pistol should
habitually be carried uncocked in its scabbard, as it can not be inserted, if cocked, into
the rifle.
Hold rifle with butt against shoulder, muzzle inclined downward, right
hand grasping small of stock, thumb along the side. With left hand turn cut-off of
rifle to its central position. Then grasp bolt handle with left hand, unlock bolt, draw
it out to the rear, and place bolt in hand bolt case, which is hooked to left side of
cartridge belt. Snap down the flap of hand bolt case to secure in place.
With left hand unclasp and open cap of scabbard which is hooked to
left side of cartridge belt and draw out pistol, grasping it over the top of slide handle
with the whole hand. While pulling rifle trigger with right hand, rifle held as before,
insert barrel of pistol in bolt hole of receiver, push it forward to the proper position
and turn down the rifle cut-off to lock pistol in place. Close and latch the scabbard cap.
NOTE: - Unless cut-off is turned down to lock pistol in place, the slide cannot be
retracted to load same.
ADJUSTMENT OF PISTOL TO RIFLE: - When locked to rifle,
cut-off turned down, the pistol should be snug, with very little or no end play. When
issued to the soldier, and occasionally thereafter, the end adjustment should be made
or checked, using a pair of special wrenches for the purpose of adjustment. To adjust,
loosen barrel nut at front end of frame by means of spanner end of one wrench, the
opposite end of the other wrench having been previously placed in holding position
near front end of ribs on frame. When barrel nut is loosened (ordinary right hand
thread) screw barrel in or out as may be required and then lightly tighten up barrel
nut. Insert the pistol into rifle and turn down the cut-off to lock same in place. Repeat
this until a snug end adjustment is obtained and then FIRMLY tighten the barrel
nut to secure the barrel. After tightening the barrel nut FIRMLY, try the pistol again
in the rifle to prove the correctness of the end adjustment. When correct, the cut-off
in the down position holds the frame of the pistol from moving rearward and the
shoulder on the barrel of the pistol is snug against the ramp at the rear end of the rifle
barrel. Firmly grasping rear end of frame of the pistol and alternately pushing and
pulling in and out of the rifle receiver will show whether or not end play exists.

SEE PLATE II.
TO REMOVE PISTOL FROM RIFLE: - First - Detach magazine from
pistol, empty the chamber by retracting the slide to eject the cartridge and then snap
the firing pin by pulling the trigger. The pistol cannot be normally removed from the
rifle when the firing pin is cocked.
Grasp rifle with right hand at small of stock, right thumb along side,
butt plate at right shoulder, muzzle inclined downward. Hold trigger back during
removal. With left hand turn cut-off to mid or open position, then grasp handle of
slide across to with all fingers of left hand, thumb back of rear end of frame cap. Pull
slide back in frame a short distance by squeezing the left hand and while maintaining
this grasp withdraw pistol rearward out of receiver. Open the scabbard and place pistol
in same. Close and latch the scabbard. Draw hand bolt out of its case and insert into
rifle with left hand. Turn cut-off to “ON” or “OFF” position as desired.
NOTE: - It may infrequently happen that the firing pin cannot be
snapped by pulling the trigger, due to derangement of the firing mechanism or to
faulty adjustment of the barrel. If this occurs the pistol cannot be removed from the
rifle in the normal manner, as the firing pin will remain cocked.
TO REMOVE THE PISTOL FROM THE RIFLE WHEN THE
FIRING PIN IS COCKED: - Unscrew the frame cap and remove with piston
assembly and three springs. While holding the slide securely forward in the frame,
elevate the muzzle of the rifle to the vertical position and strike the butt plate with
the right hand to shake out the firing pin. When firing pin is out, hold the rifle as
above for the normal removal of the pistol, unlock the cut-off and withdraw the pistol
while holding the trigger back.
CHAPTER IV,
TO CHARGE MAGAZINE - BY HAND
SEE PLATES I & III.
Hold magazine in left hand, feeding end up, rear side of magazine
under knuckles, thumb across feeding end. With right hand lay a cartridge in the
feeding opening and press same down into magazine with left thumb while reaching
for another cartridge with the right hand. Capacity of magazine — 40 cartridges.
Be sure to charge magazine with the base of all cartridges toward the rear side of
magazine. The rear side of magazine carries indicator slots and numerals to indicate
the number of cartridges in the magazine.
PACKING OF CARTRIDGES FOR PISTOL
Magazines are carried in canvas magazine cases, hooked to the
cartridge belt. Magazines when charged are inserted into the case, feeding end
down, rear side of magazine inward. When emptied, the magazines are returned to
the magazine case, but with the feeding end up, to distinguish the empty from the
charged magazines.
Cartridges for the pistol are packed in cardboard boxes - 40 cartridges
in a box, 5 boxes or 200 cartridges in a paper carton, 3 cartons or 600 cartridges in a
canvas bandoleer, 5 bandoleers or 3000 cartridges in a wooden packing case.
The bandoleer is designed to carry if desired its 600 cartridges when
these are charged into magazines.
The wooden packing case is also designed to hold its 5 bandoleers when
these are filled with charged magazines.
Thus all the cartridges in the packing case can be charged into the
magazines at the rear, repacked in the original case and forwarded to the firing line
ready for immediate use.
CHAPTER V.
SEE PLATE: Ib
TO ATTACH MAGAZINE FOR PISTOL: - Hold rifle with left
hand on forestock, muzzle depressed, butt of rifle against right shoulder. Draw
magazine from its case with right hand and slip the right hand down on magazine
until near the feeding end, the rear side of the magazine toward the rear. ( Rear side of
magazine has numbers stamped on it.) While slanting the upper end of magazine well
back over the wrist, engage the two rear locking shoulders on lower end of magazine
under both magazine latches of the pistol. Holding this position of the magazine,
pull it straight toward the rear to draw back the magazine latches. Then swing upper
end of magazine forward until the two front locking shoulders are in position to go
under the two fixed claws on the frame and push the magazine forward until its front
shoulders go forward under these claws. NOTE: - If the lower or first cartridge in
the magazine should be displaced forward during this operation in such a manner
as to prevent locking the front shoulders of the magazine under the fixed claws, the
magazine should be removed from the frame and the displaced cartridge pushed back
as far as it will go in the magazine. The first cartridge in the magazine will sometimes
be displaced while attaching, if the upper end of magazine is not slanted well back
over the wrist while drawing back the magazine latches. Before attaching magazine,
see that first cartridge is back in magazine as far as it will go, also that the slide is fully
forward.
TO LOAD FIRST CARTRIDGE INTO CHAMBER: - Before firing
the first cartridge in the magazine it must be transferred to the chamber. Grasp
the slide handle with the two first fingers of the right hand, draw the slide smartly
to the rear, and let it fly forward. This will carry a cartridge from the magazine to
the chamber and the rifle is now ready to fire. NOTE:- Should the slide not go
completely forward, due to slow release when retracted by hand, the slide should be
again retracted a short distance only, and then urged completely forward by hand.
CAUTION - The rifle is now ready to fire. Pulling the trigger will fire
one shot. To fire again, release trigger and pull again, one trigger pull for each shot
until magazine is emptied. -- REMEMBER -- Rifle is always loaded and cocked after
firing until magazine is emptied. Always work slide and pull trigger after removing
magazine.
SEE PLATE II.
TO DETACH MAGAZINE: - Grasp magazine down as low as
possible with right hand and pull straight to the rear at the bottom while holding top of
magazine forward until front locking shoulders on magazine are disengaged from fixed
claws on frame. Then swing the top of magazine back and lift magazine out.
CHAPTER VI.
CARE AND PRESERVATION: - The pistol should be cleaned and oiled as soon as
possible after firing. To do this thoroughly the frame cap should be unscrewed and
the slide and firing pin, disconnector and sear lever assembly should be removed. The
frame and slide may now be wiped clean inside and out and the other parts cleaned
as well. Pay particular attention to cleaning the dirt from around the fixed claws at
the front end of the frame and from around the rear end of the barrel. Washing with
gasoline will aid the removal of caked powder residue. The barrel should be cleaned
and oiled with the same care and attention given to the rifle barrel. Coat all parts
lightly but thoroughly with light oil and assemble. It is not necessary to remove the
magazine latches for cleaning except at infrequent intervals. Ordinarily the magazine
latches should be oiled with a squirt can without removal from frame.
If the pistol is not to be used for a considerable time, it should be
completely protected with a coat of cosmic grease in the same manner as it is prepared
for packing and storing.
es
SEE PLATE XII.
TO DISASSEMBLE MAGAZINE: - Simultaneously press in on the
exposed ends of both legs of the magazine bottom plate, at the same time checking the
magazine bottom plate with the hand to prevent it flying off.
Remove magazine bottom plate in line with magazine tube, while holding the hand
around the magazine spring to prevent it buckling. Remove magazine spring and
follower. The interior of the magazine tube, follower and spring can now be cleaned
and oiled. Gasoline or kerosene will aid in removing the encrusted powder residue
from the interior of the magazine near the feeding end.

SEE PLATE XII.
TO ASSEMBLE THE MAGAZINE: - Drop the follower into the
magazine tube and insert the spring , holding magazine in left hand near the upper or
open end. Holding magazine bottom plate in right hand place magazine bottom plate
over free end of magazine spring, the legs on magazine bottom plate straddling the
spring, and the thumb and forefinger of right hand supporting the legs. Extend the
thumb and finger of the left hand to support the magazine spring against buckling and
push the magazine bottom plate into the open or upper end of the magazine, squeezing
in the legs of the magazine bottom plate to permit their going inside the magazine.
Force the magazine bottom plate home until both of its legs snap outward into their
proper locked position in the holes at the upper end of the magazine tube.
CHAPTER VII.
DETAILED ACTION (BACKWARD MOTION
STARTING WITH THE CARTRIDGE FIRED.)
The recoil of the cartridge case, applied to the face of the slide,
drives the slide rearward, compressing the slide spring and the firing pin spring.
The extractor draws the cartridge case out of the chamber, holding it on the face of
the slide. As the slide starts its rear movement, the back end of the slide rides over
the rear end of the disconnector to depress the disconnector. This forces the front
end of the disconnector upward and carries with it the tail of the sear lever, thus
disconnecting the shoulder on the sear lever from the trigger lever mounted in the rifle
sear. Operative connection between the shoulder on the sear lever and the trigger lever
of the rifle is not again restored until the slide is in its complete forward position.
The disconnection of the sear lever from the trigger lever of the rifle prevents more
than one shot being fired at each pull of the trigger and also prevents firing the pistol
unless the slide is in its forward or home position. Just before the front end of the slide
has moved back far enough to uncover the cartridge in the magazine, the rearward
movement of the firing pin is arrested by the front end of the firing pin spring guide
coming in contact with the end of the long hole in the firing pin.
The slide continuing back over the firing pin, causes the point of the firing pin to
project through the front end of the slide, and this in connection with the grasp of the
extractor ejects the shell toward the left and through the ejection port.
Also just before the front end of the slide uncovers the cartridge in the
magazine, the cock notch on the firing pin has reached a position back of the similar
cock notch on the sear, and the sear snaps upward into the cocked position.
The slide continues to move backward until its rear end strikes the
bottom of the well hole in the piston, completing the ejecting movement, the face of
the slide uncovering the cartridge in the magazine. Up to this time the front end of
the piston is in contact with the rear end of the frame.
The remaining rearward energy of the slide continues to move back
the slide and piston, compressing the buffer spring until the rear end of the piston
bottoms in the frame cap. This terminates further rearward movement of the slide.
FORWARD MOTION: - The buffer spring now asserts itself to push
the slide and piston forward until the piston comes in contact with the rear end of the
frame. The slide spring during this time also pushes the slide forward, the face of the
slide driving the cartridge from the magazine into the chamber, the front end of the
slide being stopped in its forward movement by coming in contact with the rear end
of the barrel. The firing pin has not followed the slide forward as it is retained in the
cocked position by the notch on the sear.
As the slide reaches its forward or home position, its rear end allows the rear end of
the disconnector to rise, under the influence of the sear lever spring which now swings
the tail of the sear lever and the front end of the disconnector downward. This re-
establishes connection between the shoulder on the sear lever and the trigger lever,
when the trigger is released, so that the trigger lever may move back of the shoulder
on the sear lever. The arm is now loaded and ready for firing. Pulling the trigger
moves the top end of the trigger lever forward, (the trigger lever being mounted in
the rifle sear). The trigger lever engaging the shoulder on the sear lever pushes the
sear lever forward endwise. The front end of the sear lever being pivoted to the sear,
swings the cock notch on the sear downward and out of engagement with the notch
on the firing pin. This releases the firing pin and allows it to be driven forward by the
firing pin spring to fire the cartridge in the chamber.
CHAPTER VIII.
STOPPAGES AND MALFUNCTIONS.
