AR-15 Owner's Guide

The AR-15 Owner's Guide (2000) by Walt Kuleck and Scott A. Duff. - History, development, selecting the rifle, disassembly, assembly, inspection, cleaning, zeroing, and much, much more.

The AR-15 Complete Owner's Guide is intended to provide the prospective, new or experienced AR-15® owner with the in-depth knowledge he or she needs to configure, select, operate, maintain and troubleshoot his or her rifle. The Guide covers the history, applications, details of components and subassemblies, operating, cleaning maintenance, and future of perhaps the most versatile rifle system ever produced. A comprehensive Colt model number table and pre-/post-ban serial number information are included.

Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Co. began producing AR-15s for the civilian market circa 1963, with 25 rifles produced that year. As of this writing, the AR-15 and its clones have been in constant production for over 35 years!

The AR-15-type rifle is almost certainly the last US Martial Arm that will be available to US Citizens. While the AR-15-type rifle is not a true US Martial Arm, it is as close as most of us will be able to get to the real thing. The AR-15 is suitable for use for all: male, female, young and old. It's safe to say that you are much more likely to be shooting your AR-15 than a Garand when you approach age 80!

Join us as we explore the world of the AR-15, the "Swiss Army Knife®" of rifles!

American Military Bayonets of the Twentieth Century

American Military Bayonets of the 20th Century (1997) by Gary M. Cunningham. - A single reference book that chronicles the U.S. knife bayonet from those used on the M1892 Krag rifle to the M16.

The cry "Fix Bayonets!" has caused a rush of adrenaline for 350 years. Early muzzle-loading flintlock muskets were fired from one to several times as opposing lines of infantry closed. Then after firing his last possible shot, the socket-bayonet-mounted musket became a short pike; at that instant infantry combat regressed several centuries.

The development of magazine-fed rapid-firing rifles in the late 19th century diminished the importance of the bayonet charge. It became not quite a thing of the past, though nearly so. Yet the knife-type bayonet was still deemed a useful combination of weapon and tool.

No military rifle is truly complete without its matching bayonet and scabbard. Combining bayonet and rifle not only enhances the appearance of the ensemble but also more closely represents its use by the infantryman.

Until now no single reference book has chronicled U.S. military knife bayonets of the 20 century. Gary Cunningham, a bayonet historian and collector since 1960, has written this book as a culmination of his studies and his acquisitions. In the author's words, "A guide for collectors, including notes on makers, markings, finishes, variations, scabbards, and production data." Covered are bayonets from the Model of 1892 used on the Krag rifle to the current issue M9 for the M16.

The layout and text is "user-friendly" to beginning and advanced collectors alike. Bayonets and scabbards are addressed in the orider that tehy were adopted. The computer-generated line drawings are of outstanding clarity. A detailed "Specifications Box" is included on each model to guide the reader through the variations.
