5.0 out of 5 stars Super reference for building and tuning black power guns., April 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Black Powder Hobby Gunsmithing (Paperback)
This book is a complete step by step reference for building, tuning, and repairing black powder rifles, pistols, and revolvers. The section on tuning cap and ball revolvers immediately paid for my book. It also has a great historical introduction on the frontier gunsmith, with sections on tools and safety.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK book but not enough detail on some projects, July 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Black Powder Hobby Gunsmithing (Paperback)
The author covers all the important steps and gives a few tips. The problem is the instructions that come with gun kits has better detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, November 20, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black Powder Hobby Gunsmithing (Paperback)
Unfortunately this book is now out of print and its content out of date. I can not find one of the kit models which it covers still in production.

But no matter. The information stands on its own. You can benefit allot from the pictures and overall skills that can be mastered by applying what can be gleaned to similar projects.

Thanks Sam!
