Pages : 520
Book Description
Here is an assemblage of professional ?know-how,? the likes of which has never before been made available between the covers of one book - or many books. Although highly technical in nature to the point of being the secret art of the professional gunsmithing craft, it is presented in the off-the-cuff manner of friends chewing the fat between themselves in a language anyone can understand and enjoy - and learn new and wondrous procedures in the process.The hundreds and hundreds of kinks are the result of discussions between Bob Brownell and the thousands of gunsmith friends with whom he has corresponded over a period of some 30 years. Every bit of technical information gleaned from this vast storehouse of gunsmithing know-how was squirreled away to be presented as a helping hand to the gunsmith and to those gun lovers who do their own care and repair, building and re-doing...not to mention the serious ?buff? whose thirst for knowledge in this direction is nearly insatiable. Anyone who owns a gun will find this book a delight, a revelation and a life-long friend.The 668 separate titles and their broad subject matter are completely cross-indexed by 1,268 entries. Three hundred and seventeen drawings, photographs and blueprints leave nothing to the imagination. Individual articles and kinks are in the unedited words of each writer, giving the smell, feel and atmosphere of the gunshop...even the jokes he has enjoyed over the years are included to make this truly ?his? book...and after you have read it, ?your? book as well!

Pages : 1057
Book Description
The Encyclopedia of Modern Firearms, Parts and Assembly is, as its name implies, an encyclopedic collection of all information available from American arms manufacturers pertaining to the parts for, assembly and disassembly, repair and maintenance of the firearms of their manufacture as of January 1, 1959. Its purpose is to supply, for the first time in history, to those associated with guns, either professionally or as an avocation, a single source of authoritative information covering the technical and mechanical features of a firearm?s physical components, its repair, replacement, manufacture and care. And, now that most of the firearms covered are no longer in production, the information is even more valuable. What little information was available is out of print, original manuals have been lost, the Encyclopedia is the only place to find information. The Encyclopedia also offers two additional unique advantages to its users. First, it contains the complete specifications of the hundreds of pins, screws and helical springs shown in the many parts lists throughout the book. This information has never before been available in printed form. Second, The Encyclopedia contains in their entirety the four Department of the Army Technical Manuals covering sporting shotguns, the Springfield rifle and the .45 Cal. Automatic pistol. These are replete with precisely written service and repair instructions and accompanying pertinent illustrations of every phase of the work.By combining The Department of the Army Technical Manuals with factory information on the same guns, a complete and rounded picture is given of all phases of service for the gun being discussed.

Guerrilla Gunsmithing

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
There may come a time when government restrictions severely limit not only access to firearms but the tools and means to repair and maintain them, or you may someday find yourself in the boondocks with a busted weapon. That's where the guerrilla gunsmith comes in. Ragnar Benson has had experience fixing "junk" guns in some tough places around the world, and here he shares some innovative ways to patch up, cobble together and otherwise make operational everything from antique rifles still found in remote war zones to modern firearms suffering from appalling abuse. Drawing on lessons and stories from backwoods experts he's worked with under desperate conditions in Africa, the Philippines, Thailand, Pakistan and beyond, Ragnar tells how to employ last-resort but effective techniques to remove hopelessly stuck rounds and other barrel obstructions, straighten bent barrels, replace lost parts, smooth out dented magazines, make repairs to some pretty hopeless stocks, scrounge up workable ammo and more. These are last-ditch, do-it-yourself methods, but they may be all you'll have to fall back on deep in the bush or with your back to the wall, when the only things between you and the enemy are a rifle and the know-how to make it work.
