About this title

Synopsis

Professionals and amateurs looking for a complete, one-book reference will find Gunsmithing is made to order. Beginning with a guided tour of the standard workshop, Dunlap leads gun fixers and improvers to and through 36 chapters on basic and special tools, sources for supplies, and shop practice. It's all here: how to fix, modify, repair, restore, rebuild and customise firearms of all kinds. Tables, chamber drawings, cartridge data, testing facilities, and data sheets complete this encyclopaedic volume.

Review

This is a welcome reprint of the 1950s classic text on all aspects of gunsmithing ...full of sound advice and craftsmanship tips that are timeless. Although mainly aimed at gunsmiths working on sporting firearms, it is equally valuable for collectors of antique guns who enjoy conducting their own repairs and restoration work... Its appeal lies in its ability to provide enough helpful information for all levels of knowledge. It is equally valuable for the novice whose projects are much less ambitious. It would make a wonderful present for any student undertaking practical design and technology work.' Classic Arms and Militaria
