Gunsmithing by Patrick Sweeney (1999, Paperback)

I first encountered this book in our public library and liked it so much I wanted to add it to my collection of gunsmithing books. Sweeney writes very well with clear, understandable explanations and useful and interesting background information on various guns and methods. The photographs are well done and very helpful. Some of the jobs he explains are well beyond the scope and abilities of the hobby gunsmith, but the articles are very helpful in deciding whether or not to use the services of a professional and what to expect from him/her. I have been working on a Scout Rifle project and two chapters specifically targeted this area and were very helpful. Very worthwhile.

excellent informative book covering all aspects of rifle smithing. easy to understand for beginners.
