  • A Classic, not alot of pictures
So I was told this is a classic and that it will help with My gunsmithing lessons. Lots to read, lots of info, but if you're a person who likes pictures find another book. Other than that, a good book.

  • Old-school but useful
Just to let folks know that this is an old-school book. Lots of good information, lots of which is still usable, but copyright is from 1962. Ya might wanna look for something newer unless you like history.
