The stuff dreams are made of!
Scan to a pdf and post for sale in classifieds - easy profit
Is there a copyright printed anywhere in the document?
No copyright. It's not even dated, but it's obviously from the early 90's. Published by the Smith &Wesson Academy.
Pages are heavy card, removable, in a 3-ring binder. Excellent condition.
I'm lucky I can even upload cellphone pictures. Creating PDF files are beyond my abilities. I did better with things in the last century.
I'll figure out some things I can use in trade and post it in the Classifieds. You younger guys can figure out how best to disseminate it among those interested.

You are given one for each armory school you attend. Smith and Wesson, two, one Semi auto and Revolver manual for each recert or new gun like when the M&P S/As came out. same for Beretta, Colt whatever. I don't know about copyright, but this is the first page of every manual.
If I had a dollar for every "make me a copy" request from officers, I could have retired early. Never did, mostly because that guy would have sent it out over the computer to all his buddies then they would be calling every 5 minutes asking for explanations on something they read. The best part are the personal notes you write down on the opposing pages anyway. The manuals can leave quite a bit out on how to accomplish a task. The Kuhnhausen books have way more detail.
I have never seen one on fleabay, kind of funny. I always figured the info was out there somewhere if someone really looked.

I have the Kuhnhausen S&W Revolver "Shop Manual." I learned enough to know that I shouldn't fiddle with them. 
Actually, I did learn a little that helped me smooth out the action of my J frame. Mostly how to remove the side plate without buggering the frame.
Too bad he never got to write one on the 2nd or 3rd Gens.

Good legalise to avoid liability for misuse. And it makes sense that it would be given out as text for class and not intended for amateurs. But by now it would probably be treated as historic (obsolete) document relative to sale.
I picked up a 2001 revision of the pistol armorer manual some time ago off Ebay but I have always hesitated to share it with the forum due to possible intellectual property concerns.
