Good gun maintenance book

I needed something to help me understand how to clean some new guns I had just acquired. All I had to that point was a .22 pistol and rifle. It taugh me how to disassemble and clean my new purchases.

If You Own a Firearm, This Should Be On Your Bookshelf

So glad I bought this book! Lyons's book is a comprehensive, plain-language guide for keeping any firearm from a revolver to an AR-15 in tip-top shape. I've already found great advice for cleaning up my milsurp rifles.

The Gun Owners Handbook

I enjoyed Larry Lyons book, written as it was from the point of view of long experience. My interest is in routine care of my firearms to prolong their useful/accurate life, and do modest restoration work rather than teaching me to be a gunsmith, so it will form a valuable addition to my library.
