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.
