Sorry for the late reply...

The Texas Tech University Virtual Vietnam Library (http://www.star.vietnam.ttu.edu/starweb/vva/servlet.starweb#?) has FM 31-73 as a multi-part digital download. I'll post the links to the individual pdfs here (apologies for the massive amounts of unsightly link text), but if you get the chance, check the rest of the library out. You will find a wealth of primary source material.

thank you very much

The Virtual Vietnam Archive is a great resource. It's just a little annoying that the pdf's are divided up piece-meal into little chunks. I do have the ability to cleanly put the pieces together, and I've done that already for those materials I've downloaded that I didn't already have in a single file. So if you are unable to do that, and would prefer a single clean pdf copy of the manual to having it in sections, just PM me with an e-mail address to shoot it off to.
