List of the United States Army fire control and sighting material by supply catalog designation

This is a list of United States Army fire control, and sighting material by supply catalog designation, or Standard Nomenclature List (SNL) group "F". The United States Army Ordnance Corps Supply Catalog used an alpha-numeric nomenclature system from about the mid-1920s to about 1958. These designations represent parts catalogs for supply and repair purposes. There can be numerous volumes, changes, and updates under each designation
