GREAT REFERENCE!
This book presents a great overview of firearms both modern and antique. I've found it to be a great way to quickly locate information on a surprising array of weapons. While usually unable to give a lot of in-depth information on individual arms, it does give a quick overview with very pertinent details included. I've been very impressed by how many firearms, especially antique and ...

This is the Bible for Gun Values!
This reference book is absolutely the definitive guide for gun values. It is the standard by which all other reference works are measured. There is background information on the manufacturers, historical references, grading guides, and a very well constructed set of tables for each gun listed showing current values. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in determining the value of ...
Abc's Of Reloading: The Definitive Guide For Novice To Expert (ABC's of Reloading)

The best place to start
This is the book I used when I got started reloading about 10 years ago, and this book gave me just what I needed. When I first got the itch to load my own ammunition, I was overwhelmed by the amount of information and terminology involved in this fascinating field/hobby. It was very difficult to take all the individual pieces of information that I had and form it into an understandable process. ...

Thoughts on Massad Ayoob's Latest Book
As a long time reader of Massad Ayoob's writings I am always pleased with the way he can take information which he has presented before and present it in an informative, entertaining manner. There is not much that is "new" here but the presentation allows the reader to look at the familiar in a new way. I loaned my copy of "Concealed Carry" to a friend who is a concealed carry instructor and ...

Excellent resource for the price. No pictures and limited descriptions, but the purpose of this book is only to provide prices of firearms and it accomplishes that very well.

Gun Digest 2009
A brilliant way to keep up with what is happening in shooting in America. I have most editions from the early 50's and find it compulsive reading.

A wonderful read
This is not the first book to examine Americans and their relationship with guns but the well known scandal souroundingArming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture means that a new book was needed. This book is not about all of the gun culture in the U.S or the second amendment, that can be found elsewhere, this is about the American rifle, a weapon that many readers will be surprised ...

Flayderman's Guide RULES!
I have an old Flayderman's from the 1980s that has been a great source of information over the years on antique firearms. The sheer amount of information gathered in it is incredible and the latest edition is, believe it or not, even better! More information on many of the firearms and more entries makes this edition the best yet. Flayderman's in an invaluable resource for those interested in ...

A Keeper
My Dad and I shot with Roy in my preteen years. I was impressed with him as a shooter then, and as a gunsmith now. Someone mentioned "out of date" photos and dead authors. This issues are NOT relevant, as the knowledge encompassed in the book are not dependent on photos...... This book is a necessity in the library of any good riflesmith.
Shotgunning: The Art and the Science, Second Edition

Bob Brister
Skyhorse Publishing
, 2008
A classic introduction to the sport.
I thought Brsiter's work was very well written and showed how dedicated he was to the sport. For me, a person relatively new to shotgun sports and wing-shooting, this book is an excellent introduction to shotgunning fundamentals and why shooting a shotgun is so different than any other type of firearm. In addition, Brister takes the time to provide perspective on various types of shotguns, ...

Ms. Keller's Bad Book
I bought this book assuming that it it was a biography revealing details of how Gatling's life developed to lead him toward his many accomplishments. it is not; rather it is nine tenths sociological asides. There errors of fact misunderstandings of analysis, poor and inadequate illustrations and in general was a disappointing and frustrating read. I did read it but not happily.

Excellent Resource Tool
This book is full of useful information and tips for owners of an AR-15. The photographs are also helpful for identification of parts and accessories. This book is a valuable reference and worth the purchase price, if only for checking yourself when breaking down your rifle.

a wealth of information at a very small price
"Gunsmithing: Rifles offers an abundance of quality, useful information in the form of specific instruction for home shop projects. I'm not suggesting the book's contents are simplistic, but rather the range of information spans from detail to conceptual, which provides a good foundation of knowledge before projects are attempted. There are virtually no chapters that would not be of value to ...
The Great Book of Guns: An Illustrated History of Military, Sporting, and Antique Firearms

Great Book of Guns, Indeed!
This book looks sweet on our coffee table. The pictures are beautiful- especially the ones of antique rifles. My knowledge of firearms has greatly increased just by reading it in my spare time. There is fascinating history about guns that I had never heard of previously. I like the way the book is organized by firearm type and country of origin. I'm truly glad I purchased this book.

The Best
This book is by far the best of its kind. Of course you will need a lathe and milling machine to make this firearm... it would be pure fantasy to expect to build a reliable submachine gun without them. This book is metric which is great for those of us in rational countries which adopted it long ago, for those who aren't... 1 inch equals 2.54 cm - it's not that hard guys. I've never ...
