So I came across this neat little book not long ago, but in my opninion what makes it extra cool is the fact that it is stamped "1st Recruit Training Battalion, Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island SC! I assume most likely these were used to train Marine recruits during the early/mid stages of WW2 when Springfields were still being issued as training rifles. Opinions are welcome.

Love how it's restricted and serialized. Before the Internet, I suppose that was possible. Now you can download all the FMs and TMs online
