### ⭐⭐ Familiarization not instruction
*by J***D on July 1, 2000*

For a novice who would like to get a grasp of firearms gunsmithing vocabulary, or get a very superficial understanding of tasks a person might encounter while taking a firearm into a shop for service or repair, the  book does an adequate job. There is no section, other than firearm  cleaning, that provides enough detailed information to actually accomplish  any of the tasks covered.There is a section that defines the general  process of hot bluing, including the fact you would need to disassemble the  firearm, clean and polish it, tank it and finish it. It does not mention  several thousand dollars of tank equipment, caustic out gasing, facility  environmental consideration, how to disassemble, or even how to polish the  parts being blued. The references to chemicals and process are less than  the steps outlined on chemical containers. But if you read the section, you  would know what hot bluing is.There is a section on trigger work,  including references to stoning camming surfaces, but there is no reference  to stoning alignment fixtures, grades of stones, cut angles, dimensions,  etc. But if you read the section you would know generally what constitutes  a trigger job.The section on stock making dedicates three pages to types  of wood, two pages on forend and grip cap trim, three pages on tools - then  half a page on stock shaping.If you're a novice and you are looking for  definitions, the book is okay. If you are experienced and looking for  actual instruction for a task, you won't find it here. There are much  better listings to select.

Product  okay, but looking for something more informative.  Look for true gunsmith  reference, showing barrel threading, and customizing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product and service!

Great product and service!
