Book Description

Series: Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly: Part 3 Rimfire Rifles | Publication Date: January 1994

The increasing cost of gunsmithing services has caused enthusiasts to perform minor repairs, refinishing, and deep cleaning on their own firearms. This updated edition shows how to easily disassemble and reassemble centerfire rifles and the correct tools needed. Sixty-six popular guns are taken apart and individually photographed. The cross-reference index identifies more than 400 similar or identical rifle patterns that also follow these disassembly and reassembly directions. It covers the Argentine Mauser to Marlin Model 9 to Russian AK-47 to U.S. M-1 Garand to Winchester Model 1894.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you own a shotgun, you should have this book., November 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly / Disassembly, Part 5: Shotguns, Revised Edition (Paperback)

If you own a shotgun, you should have this book. Well written, detailed procedures for accomplishing minor repairs on your own shotgun. This book will not make you a gunsmith, but it will save you money by giving you the confidence to make many minor repairs yourself. Covers most popular shotguns. Only negative, is that the photos are frequently too dark and lack detail.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great step by step pictures, August 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly: Part IV : Centerfire Rifles Revised Edition (Pt. 4) (Paperback)

This manual covers over 50 rifles and includes variation for simular rifles . It does not have exploded parts views or part numbers . For this you are going to need the factory manual . The step by step pictures are accompied with instructions . This book shows the various steps of disassembly in order . It is a great help getting a firearm apart , but sometimes fails to mention that some parts could be assembled backwards and fails to show the part as should be . Overall this book will help you disassemble a firearm , and reassemble it !

5.0 out of 5 stars has disassembly manuals of every shotgun made, November 11, 1998

This review is from: The Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly / Disassembly, Part 5: Shotguns, Revised Edition (Paperback)

This book has most, if not every disassembly instuctions for any shotgun made this century or before. I have used this manual for my Remingtons: a 1100 and Sportsman 48 which was discontined in the late 60's. This book is the only one of it's kind which has so much information on so many different models without directly writing to each different manufacturer one needs.
