Pleasantly surprised

As a firearms enthusiast, there are times when disassembly is required for cleaning or minor repair. Unfortunately, it is difficult to locate decent documentation for a partciular rifle, beyond the little postage stamp size booklet that comes with the firearm. This is a BIG book.After buying numerous disassembly books, including the "NRA Firearm Assembly", I can honestly say "Sporting Rifle Take Down and Reassembly" is by far the best.The book covers 52 common rifles and basic variation of the same, including popular military rifles like: German and Swedish Mausers, 1917 Enfield, 1903 Springfield and the M1. There are Winchesters dating back to classic lever actions, H & R, Colt, Marlin, Rugers, Remingtons, Sakos, Savage, Winchesters and Weatherby's. The book opens on Browning.Instructions cover complete disassembly, not just field stripping, and all steps are clearly illustrated with quality black and white photography, parts lists and required tools.With help from this book, and about 15 minutes, I was able to finally reassemble a Nylon 66 from a 20 year old collection of parts in a shoe box. Excellent book.
