This is going to be multiple posts with lots and lots and lots of pics.

The pics are just a sample of the info available in this book.

I have only spent about 20 minutes looking though it and the amount of info it contains is almost overwhelming.

I have taken copious pictures to try to share at least some of the knowledge found in these pages.

Should you desire a copy of your own eBay is your best bet. Copies range from $20 to $100. There were at least 5 printings from what I can tell.

Here we go...

Even with the number of pictures I've posted here it's not everything this book has to offer.

I hope someone benefits from this sampling of the info within these pages.

Enjoy.

It’s enjoyable to page through the old Gunsmithing books. I picked up a couple of copies of Modern Gunsmithing by Clyde Baker off of eBay. One of them is a 1928 edition.
