Encyclopedia of Modern Firearms, Parts and Assembly Book by F. R. "Bob" Brownell Pdf

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.

Gunsmithing by Roy F. Dunlap Pdf

2012 Reprint of 1950 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Illustrated with over 100 photos and drawings. Roy F. Dunlap's book is self-described as "a manual of firearms design, construction, alteration and remodeling for amateur and professional gunsmiths and users of modern firearms." What makes Dunlap's book important is its specificity. For example, instead of merely bringing up the need for a bench grinder, he cites why a 1/4- o r 1/3-horsepower, double-shaft model, turning at 1,750 rpm with a wire-brush wheel on one side and a medium-coarse wheel on the other is the best choice. He supports his recommendation by explaining why you'll find wider use for a medium coarse than a finer stone. His chapter entitled "Helpful Gunsmith Knowledge," is absolutely crammed with bits of information, and includes tips that he evidently could find no other place for in his book. In the midst of a general discussion on disassembly, for instance, Dunlap digresses to describe in detail a L-shaped tool he made to simplify reassembly of an L.C. Smith double and how to use it. All in all, Dunlap covers soldering and brazing; welding; heat treatment of metals; making and fitting sights and accessories; making, fitting and heat treatment of parts; cartridge information useful to gunsmiths; rifle barrels; chamber and barrel work; rifle-action work; pistol and revolver work; shotgun work; twenty two rim fire arms; browning, blueing and blacking of metal; fitting commercial metallic sights; mounting telescopic sights; wood for gun stocks; design of gun stocks; stock making; checkering; stock repair and alteration; stock finishing; styling the custom rifle; custom metal work; ornamentation of wood and metal; target rifles; the Garand rifle; testing facilities and apparatus; synthetic bedding; cartridge and chamber drawings; and data sheets. A classic work, profusely illustrated.

With the guidance of top gunsmith Patrick Sweeney, beginners, as well as serious enthusiasts, are able to diagnose handgun problems--for once they're the experts, deciding whether to do their own work or leave it up to the professionals.
