Bob Brownell's Gunsmith Kinks 4

The 4th Volume In The Series; A Much-Needed Shop Tool For Anyone Who Works On Guns; 332 illustrations and photos; 552 pages; 706 Kinks and stories; 5,000 entry index. Continuing the proud tradition of the first three books, this newest member of the family adds more Kinks to help you conquer problems in the shop, new ideas for tools and time-saving fixtures, plus lots of business and shop tips and, of course, all the jokes that have appeared in the Newsletter since Kinks III came out back in 1993. And, we've added many Kinks and jokes that haven't appeared in any Newsletter. You might think that after three previous volumes of Gunsmith Kinks Books there just wouldn't be anything new left to say about gunsmithing. But, you'd be seriously underestimating the ingenuity of your fellow gunsmiths and tinkerers. Matter of fact, we think they're more inventive than anyone else. New guns are introduced which need to be repaired; new games are invented which require different modifications to the guns used; and gun folks don't hesitate to tell their fellow gunsmiths (even if they could be competitors), the incredibly unique Kinks they use to help get the work done, and done right, in their own shops. We've collected 569 all new, original, how-to Kinks, 332 illustrations, plus 64 pages of our latest instructions on a variety of processes - from Color Case Hardening to applying our Bake-On finishes and more, then added in "how-to" articles reprinted from the Bench Talk newsletter and a whole chapter dedicated to advice on running your shop, and increasing profits. You'll find 133 pages with 167 job-specific Kinks for handguns, rifles, and shotguns; a method to keep tiny springs and parts from vaporizing into space, tricks to make your drill press more versatile, some sample dream shop layouts; and that's just a very partial list.
