    Overall A Good BooK But Weak In Some Areas

    Overall this a good book with some good information, particularly the early chapters on tools, work space setup and the how-to’s on measuring tools. The chapters on metal work are full of good information as are the sections on stock work.

  • Over 50

    The author of this book died over 50 years ago so if your wanting a gunsmithing book to work on guns this is probably not what you want. Wish I had known that before purchasing
