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

Store Description

We are in an older house right on Hwy 26/85, approximately 2 miles west of town, right on the route to Fort Laramie National Historic site. Some new, mostly used, we are always looking to buy or trade for good western history, mountain man, weapons and especially Wyoming history titles. If you get to Torrington stop in but please call to verify we are in as we are both retired and hours are inconsistent. My cell is 307-401-3033 or 307-220-7337
