A highly desirable Technical Manual (TM 9-1005-249-14) dated August 1966. This manual is a treasure trove for early Vietnam War collectors. It covers the maintenance and repair of the M16 and XM16E1 rifles, but its primary value lies in the inclusion of the XM148 40mm Grenade Launcher. The XM148 was an experimental, failure-prone predecessor to the M203, used briefly by US Special Forces. Original documentation for the XM148 is extremely scarce.

M1 helmet liner with DUI 104th Cavalry Regiment decals on both sides. The original sweatband and straps are replaced with a simplified plastic liner. The liner has a dark green gloss lacquer finish.
