How many homemade gun books have you read, only to discover that to make the thing work you needed a metal lathe or a milling machine?

No matter where you may live in the world or under what regime, the knowledge represented in this book offers you a chance to cope. It offers hope, not in nice wishes and goodwill, but in tangible fact and step-by-step illustrated instructions. For Information Purposes Only.

At first look at the cover this may look like a rehash of the homemade shotgun in the Improvised Munitions Black Book but just take at the index! Everything is their. Instructions on making a rifle or shotgun in about every available caliber, assembly of same, testing and variations in types of the guns. If ammunition is a problem-not to worry! As long as you have a cartridge case the book brings you through making all types of gunpowders, primers, and moulding new bullets. The thing is what really struck me was his method of reloading a .22 cartridge with an electric drill to provide the centrifugal force. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOMEMADE GUNS, PRIMERS OR GUNPOWDERS(EVEN SHOWS HOW TO MAKE SODIUM CHLORATE FROM SALT USING ELECTROLISIS). ITS THE MOST EXCELLENT BOOK I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS!

I made a double barrel 12-gauge gun with the information in this book. All from parts found at local hardware stores. Total price was a little under forty dollars. Also has lots of information on making powders, primers, and loading old shells. This might be a problem if you don't have any old casings or shells but never fear, build a muzzleloader! The book has a section on making a musket which I might build after I finish my 30.06 rifle. That's right, it has a section that explains what size hardware and drill bits to use for most any size ammo. Remember to remote test fire each weapon you make a few times and if noise is a problem with the neighbors you could build a noise suppressor for it. The beginning of the book explains the different types of guns and the different sizes of bullets for those of you like me who might not know all that much about the subject. I've bought a few books on this subject recently and if you want something that you can actually make with only hand tools stop looking. It doesn?t take long at all to put these together but I suggest you take your time and enjoy this great do it yourself project.
