Materials Specific Details
The SAWS (Small Arms Weapon Systems) folders span from 1960 to 1982 and document the development and deployment of various Army rifles over the course of nearly a half century. Much of the material relates specifically to the M-16 rifle. Col. Hallock began codifying information on the development of the small arms systems of the modern U.S. army while at Fort Ord, but continued to collect and add to the collection for the rest of his life.
