NEW, U.S. Knife Bayonets &amp; Scabbards - A Collector's Guide"by Gary M. Cunningham, with Foreword by Scott A. Duff. This new book is a collector's guide that chronicles U.S. knife bayonets &amp; their scabbards from those used on the M1892 Krag rifle through M16 rifle. No military rifle is truly complete without its matching bayonet and scabbard. Combining bayonet with rifle not only enhances the appearance of the ensemble, but more closely represents its use by the infantryman. Those who collect military rifles often gravitate towards collecting bayonets. Thus, the study and acquisition of U.S. bayonets and their scabbards have grown into an important collecting discipline in its own right. This book with its new, updated and expanded content replaces Gary Cunningham's earlier work. Gary's diligent research continued after publication of his first book in 1997 and U.S. Knife Bayonets &amp; Scabbards, A Collector's Guide is the result. Included in this book is detailed information on the following bayonets and their scabbards: Model 1892, M1905 (1906-1922), M1917, M1905 (1942-1943), M1, M4, M5, M6, M7, M9, and much, much more. The layout and text of Mr. Cunningham's second bayonet book is user-friendly to beginning and advanced collectors alike. Bayonets and scabbards are addressed in the order in which they were adopted. A detailed "Specifications Box" is included on each model to guide the reader through the variations. Overall and close up photographs are presented for each type of bayonet and scabbard. Laminated, Perfect bound with a soft cover, 8-1/2" x 11", of 168 pages, 545 photographs, 8 color pages, and 13 tables of production figures.

NEW The NEW M14 Complete Owner's Guide - How to select, configure, operate, maintain and upgrade your own M1A or other M14-type rifle by Walt Kuleck. WHY A NEW M14 COMPLETE OWNER'S GUIDE? This book is the latest volume in the Scott A. Duff Publications' Guide series. The NEW M14 Complete Owner's Guide is like the other Guides; its purpose is to give the new M1A or M14 owner a head start towards an in-depth understanding of the history, operation, maintenance, upgrading and use of his or her rifle, while providing the experienced owner knowledge that they don't yet have, with the intent of giving even the expert new insights into the M14-type rifle. Imagine that it's December 1941; the US has entered World War II, reluctantly but steadfastly. As Japanese forces storm Wake Island and the Philippines, our troops recognize the inadequacy of the M1903 Springfield and M1 Garand. The GIs in the field clamor for a more effective weapon; in response, the Army begins to retrieve M1888 Trapdoors from War Reserve storage and issues them to the eagerly awaiting infantry. The Trapdoor's hard-hitting .45 caliber 405-grain lead bullet really puts the enemy down the way the .30-'06 can't. Absurd? Of course. Yet, after the infamous attacks of 11 September 2001, something not so different happened. The US Rifle, Cal. 7.62-MM, M14 began to pop up like mushrooms after a summer rain, in both stateside Army units and, as we deployed to Afghanistan and later Iraq, in-theater. The reason? None other than that the M14's hard-hitting .30-caliber 150-grain bullet puts the enemy down the way the 5.56-MM can't! The Purpose of This Book As a consequence of the Global War on Terror, the M14 and its semiautomatic civilian analogues are experiencing a renaissance in popularity, variety and effectiveness.
