Anyone have a copy of TB 23-30-1 for the jig to install
Grenade Launcher Sight, M-15 ?

I might have - somewhere! As a Historian and collector of odd artifacts, I bought one in a beat up plastic bag with an equally beat up set of instructions a few years ago. I will try to locate it.
Surely one of our correspondents here - like me - collects obsolete old manuals, books and instructions too! I even have an Army Air Corps P40 Tomahawk daily check sheet, though I doubt I will ever need it.....
Alternatively, you might ask people for a measurement off of an existing stock that was drilled while in service, from a fixed point, say, the trigger hole or buttplate. CC

Thank you for the reply.

The instructions for installation are cast right into the fixture ! ... all you need is a #29 drill.

I have not found the bulletin you asked about or a copy of it yet and I’ve looked pretty hard.

You can look up any of these military procedures (TB's (army technical bulletins), T.O.'s (air force technical orders), Navairs (navy) if you or someone you know has GIDEP access through work or other sources.
