Appendix D
Manual of Arms—M1903 or M1917 Rifle
The manual of arms with the M1903 or M1917 rifle (see figure D-1) is executed in the same manner as the manual of arms for the M16-series rifle (see appendix B) except for minor differences with Order Arms, Port Arms, Left and Right Shoulder Arms, Inspection Arms, and Present Arms. For ease of understanding, the movements are fully described.
Note. The term “at the balance” refers to where the trailing edge of the top handguard meets the front edge of the breech. The trailing edge of the hand is placed in this area. Figure D-1 shows the location of the balance.
