Brownells Gunsmith Kinks Volume II Book

The second installment in the Gunsmith Kinks Series is a must-have for enthusiasts, potentially surpassing the original Gunsmith Kinks in value. This volume offers an expanded collection of Kinks, providing numerous practical solutions to workshop challenges, along with a wealth of time-saving jigs, fixtures and drawings. It adheres to the successful format of its predecessor by compiling all Kinks, shop suggestions, jokes, cartoons and problem-solving techniques featured in the Newsletter and our catalogs over a 14 years period, as they originally appeared. Additionally, it includes hundreds of previously unpublished Kinks that were omitted from the Newsletter due to space constraints. Each entry is developed and proven in the workshop, authored by experienced gunsmiths in their own vernacular. The ingenuity and creativity of the gunsmithing community are truly remarkable, with some solutions so innovative that they seem obvious in hindsight. With Kinks II, you gain immediate access to practical solutions devised in active gun shops by practicing gunsmiths, akin to having a knowledgeable, confidential advisor at your side, ready to provide effective solutions based on first hand experience. This resource offers unique content, such as a comprehensive interchangeability list of guns from manufacturers of Private Label firearms, modern formulas for traditional chemicals and solutions (including sweet spirits of nitre) and numerous quick fixes for challenging repairs. It also includes tips on stocking, bluing/plating, drilling, tapping, hunting and reloading, along with extensive information on specific firearms, organized and indexed by gun name. This collection is a treasure trove for both professional gunsmiths and hobbyists, featuring 252 detailed photographs and drawings across 504 pages, with 719 distinct subject headings. The deluxe, heavy-duty hardcover edition boasts a sewn binding and a 2400-entry index, cross-referenced with the original Gunsmith Kinks. Additionally, it includes all the renowned jokes from the Newsletter.
