US Army FM 23-72 Carbine Marksmanship Courses Trainfire I Field Manual 1958

Original U.S. Army Field Manual FM 23-72 titled Carbine Marksmanship Courses Trainfire I, dated June 1958. This manual outlines structured marksmanship training programs for the U.S. carbine, including course progression, firing positions, target engagement, and range procedures. It also includes detailed lesson plans covering mechanical training, zeroing, field firing, and advancing target scenarios. This example is complete at 207 pages and remains a solid, usable copy. The cover shows age-related wear with staining, spotting, and discoloration throughout. Interior pages are intact and legible with typical toning from age, and the binding remains secure. Staples show expected oxidation but are holding. A very cool Cold War era training manual with direct ties to mid-century U.S. Army small arms instruction. Ideal for collectors of firearms manuals, Korean War to early Vietnam era training material, or anyone building a reference library on U.S. military marksmanship doctrine.
