US Army FM 23-92 Field Manual | 4.2-Inch Mortar M30 | Dated June 1970 | Unit Stamped
Description
"The Four-Deuce." This manual covers the operation of the M30 4.2-inch Mortar, the heavy hitter of the infantry battalion during the Vietnam War. Published by the Department of the Army in June 1970, this FM 23-92 is packed with technical data, firing tables, and maintenance procedures. A unique feature of this copy is the purple property stamp: "COMBINED SUPPORT MAINTENANCE SHOP, ANNVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA". This adds excellent provenance, linking the item to US domestic military support facilities (likely associated with the PA National Guard at Fort Indiantown Gap) during the war era. The manual is in good vintage condition, clean and legible, with standard 3-hole punch configuration. A must-have for heavy weapons collectors.
