4.0 out of 5 stars A Firearms library "must-have" book., January 25, 2001

By	Mark Freburg (Beavercreek, OH, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If one owns, collects, or works with firearms one needs to be able to take them apart and put them back together. A surprising large number of handguns, rifles, and shotguns can be found within the covers of this NRA publication. The book includes exploded views which show precisely how parts fit together, and some basic instruction on disassembly/reassembly. Despite the amazing amounts of negative publicity NRA gets in the news media, this is what they do best, provide unquestionable authority on firearms. If you need step by step instructions complete with photos you would be better served by the multi-part Gun Digest series on Firearms Assembly/Disassembly by J.B.Wood. But as outstanding and helpful as those books are, they simply can't cover the sheer number and variety of guns that you will find within the pages of this book from NRA. After all, they've been covering this topic in-depth for a long time. It shows.
