TO REMOVE MAGAZINE LATCH: - (Seldom Necessary) Separate spring from frame cap lock and use the stem of latter as a tool for the removal of the magazine latch. Insert frame partway into rifle receiver and while holding the disconnector against the rear end of the receiver to block the front end of the magazine latch, push frame forward, compressing magazine latch spring until small hole in magazine latch plunger is opposite hole in rear end of magazine/ latch. Insert pointed end of frame cap lock through these holes to secure the frame and plunger. Partly withdraw frame from receiver and lift out the magazine latch from frame. Hold rear end of magazine latch firmly against a block of wood to prevent spring and plunger from “shooting” away, and pull out frame cap lock. NOTE: - This spring is very strong and should not be released carelessly as it may become lost or might strike the operator. Remove other magazine latch in similar manner. TO ASSEMBLE. SEE PLATES VI, VIII, IX, & X. TO ASSEMBLE MAGAZINE LATCH: - Insert frame completely into receiver, put muzzle of rifle on floor and hold rifle between knees with butt upward. Place magazine latch spring and plunger into magazine latch and then straddle the notch at front end of plunger over the outer wall of the frame cap lock hole in frame, the magazine latch parallel with frame. Apply considerable force to push the magazine latch toward the muzzle in order to compress the spring. When the holes in latch and plunger are opposite, insert pointed end of frame cap lock to secure the spring in the magazine latch. Remove frame from rifle receiver and drop latch into its seat in frame. While holding latch toward the rear and inward strongly, pull out frame cap lock to release spring and let magazine latch move slowly forward to its normal position.

TO ASSEMBLE EXTRACTOR TO SLIDE : - Start rear end of extractor into its seat in the slide and push toward the rear until stud on extractor brings up against face of slide. Spring the front end of extractor outward until extractor stud clears slide and then push extractor backward until flush with front end of slide. The extractor should now snap inward to proper place. Test extractor to see that it has proper spring tension inward. - ee we we ee ee ee ee eee reser e cece eteecwrececeoaegeene ee -- ee we ee ew eee SEE PLATES VII, & VIII. 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. eee eo ee we ew ewe ee ee -- --- ee we - - id eee ee oe 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. en ee ee eo a a oe ol 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. FOO FPO MD O EOE A BAAS OOS DSO FSCS SHOE CEH HHS KO PFE wares eavsertagsdiedowsconreoewaena 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. r POSITION - Slide all way forward. (a) Misfire - Defective ammunition (if primer is properly indented. ) (b) Failure to fire. 1. Broken or gummed firing pin. 2. Weak or gummed firing pin spring. 3. Obstruction in firing pin hole in slide. 4. Faulty end adjustment of barrel. 5. Imperfect rocker bar assembly, timing lever or rifle sear parts. (c) Failure to feed - 1. Weak cartridge did not complete reloading of chamber. 2. Magazine improperly charged. 3. Action gummed or dry. Immediate action: - Retract slide by hand and let it fly forward. If malfunctions occur in succession see that the slide is properly oiled. If this does not correct the trouble, remove pistol from rifle, dismount mechanism and put in order. If stress of battle or firing conditions do not allow sufficient time to dismount the pistol and put in order, the soldier may restore the hand bolt to his rifle and proceed with magazine fire using the regular (Model ’06) cartridges. 24 POSITION :- Slide partly open (a) Failure to eject : 1. Broken or weak extractor. 2. Weak buffer spring. 3. Action gummed or dry. (b) Jammed Cartridge : 1. Imperfect or battered cartridge. 2. Defective or bent magazine mouth. 3. Cartridge charged backwards in magazine. 4. Weak slide spring or action gummed. 5. Failure to extract fired shell from chamber. ( Weak or broken extractor ). 6. Burrs on slide or slideway in frame. Immediate action: - Grasp slide handle with left hand and pull slightly to rear to relieve tension on jammed cartridge. Holding slide in this position, remove magazine with right hand. Now with right hand hold slide open while pushing obstructing cartridge of shell toward left and out through ejection port with tips of fingers of left hand, palm of left hand supporting rifle under receiver. See that all is clear, then remove fingers from slideway and let slide fly forward. Arrange first cartridge in magazine, rejecting if deformed. Attach magazine, pull slide back to reload chamber and resume firing. If malfunctions occur in succession see that slide is properly oiled. If this does not correct the trouble, remove pistol from rifle, dismount mechanism and put in order. If stress of battle or firing conditions do not allow sufficient time in which to dismount the pistol and put in order, the soldier may restore the hand bolt to his rifle and proceed with magazine fire using the regular ( Model ’06 ) cartridges. *@TITHY I ALeM ut peysesuyz T°OVStd QT6T FO Tepow O£* AEqTTeO Z 838Tg TOVstd eRe 09 eTITyY SOTAIES CO6T petsytpoy TOU8TT QT6T TepopR o¢* *“T8p peTquessy PBPTIZIED GDTAIES QO6T TepoK xepuyt JeqstTZe.a Zutsous ouTzeszey TOTP FUNMMY TOISTE QT6T Tepow of "Te SSBD oUuTzesey aspT Iz, Ie5 TOUStg 9T6T FO Tepow O£* AeqtTeg pue o8ppaqien 906T J° Tepow O£* teqttTeg Jo ezts PAT Te IeEduoy a» ST SRS RTT te en RTE ayy fm | F im a, | | ” ey | ed i we i liimammmedss call | PO¢TOSUT YT PLEPUeIS YITM STITH COST FO TepoN *z yaey % ©38Td euTzesey ape fobabsbebete t=) \e}cjmeleietalat: | = “ WAre 4 wan and ee we. rr { ! reererrrriy aa) | bLLAAL Li k (92) YU3ty - yore], oUuTzeZey (uMOySsS JOU) Ies3taza4 uo (uMOyS JOU) *TeAST Ie33T14% ustsep (q) peppe atTputds gyo=-gno uaZtseap (q) pezteqyTe Teves = YOTS ARes usyysusetT OF (0) FFO-eND UT (q) uotyoefa 2ogy septs 4YyeT Jeataoes (vy) ®PTS puey YseT = eTITY JO 4007s TO¢sStd eRey OF OTITY UO epeM se3uURYD T°YSFd QT6T FO TEPOW CFTED SOL PETIEPON STITH FO6T FO TepoH (pTetsZutadg) eremmeiecme!
