Great reading, educational beyond measure.
Good Reading
So far, what I have read these books are fun.and have some great insight into gunsmithing. These are not training manuals, but still good.
good reading with nuggets of info
Anyone who shoots and has an interest in firearms will like these books. Their very interesting with some nuggets of very helpful gun smithing spread through out. Some of the information in the first volume is a little dated. But one can easily take that information and adapt it to what is available today and apply it so. The information is not just hard core machinist gun smithing there is a good deal of just every day common sense stuff for cleaning and light gun smithing that doesn't require a machine shop set up, common hand tools will suffice. It's a good set of books worth the money.
Gunsmith Kinks
Knowledge at your finger tips. Theres a ton of info of how to. Brownells certainly put together many years of experience in their 4 volume set.
Get these 4 books if you want great info
I am not a gunsmith: But I can use the info in these books to not rely on one. That said, there is a time that you do need an experienced gun smiths knowledge to help you.
Kinks 4 Volume Set
Just received the 4 Volume Set and I have flipped through them reading small pieces and a page here and there. I found them to be very interesting and I'm sure there will be useful tips in all the books. Looking forward to reading more as time passes.
Educational and some laughs
Great books with a lot of information and you will get a laugh with some of the Stories. A must have for all gun enthusiast.
Well Worth the Price!
I purchased the four volume set about two weeks ago and they are now my favorite evening reading material once the day winds down. The tips and tricks are great time savers and some make you want to smack yourself on the forehead and say to yourself "wish I would have known that six months ago." Even if you don't use any of the tips, the jokes, stories and anecdotes are injected at just the right interval to keep the reading light and a pleasant experience. I was so impressed with Kinks that I purchased a second set to give to my brother for his birthday. Waiting for Volume V to be published.
OUTSTANDING
I wish I had bought this years ago. Great for a an expert or a newbee.
