Overall A Good BooK But Weak In Some Areas
Overall this a good book with some good information, particularly the early chapters on tools, work space setup and the how-to’s on measuring tools. The chapters on metal work are full of good information as are the sections on stock work. Then we come to the chapters on actual firearms and we have some good information on the M1903, M1911 and M14; but most the information seems to be reprinted from the military manuals. Including the M14 sections on selective fire conversions and grenade launching which would be of little to no use to the civilian gunsmith. However, because there are so many 1903’s, 1911’s and semi auto only M1A derivatives of the M14 in the shooting world, the majority of information is still germane. The section on revolvers and revolver problems unfortunately has almost no meat to it. While touching on some revolver problems, there is nothing about how to correct the problems. In fact; the revolver cutaway shown and described is a New Army/Navy from the late 1800’s to early 1900’s and is in no way illustrative of contemporary Colt revolvers. Overall though. It is a decent book with a lot of good information in it although weak in some areas. Not a bad book for a beginner but a more advanced hobby gunsmith or budding professional would find it lacking and not really a complete guide as the title would suggest.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
