I enjoyed it, even if I'll never do any of the projects
By JW
Let me begin with some quick background info. If you're considering purchasing this book, then you've probably heard of the American Gunsmithing Institute (AGI); and if you're familiar with the AGI catalog and marketing, then you know that this book is one of the bonus items included in their entry-level "Practical Gunsmithing" course. Curiosity is what ultimately led me to purchase this book, to get an "inside preview" (so to speak) of AGI's basic course.
I have to admit I enjoyed reading this book from cover to cover, and I found the procedures simple to follow and understand. I have no doubt I can do any of these projects. Will I ever do any of them? Maybe one or two, but that's about it. The author seems to be more of a hunting cowboy type and an avid Cowboy Action Shooting enthusiast, and many of the projects deal with old lever guns and shotguns. Nothing wrong with that, just not my area of focus. For example, when I saw a project titled "Chamber And Bore Polishing" I thought, "Alright! I can finally fix that feeding problem I have with my [a certain model of combat handgun I own]!" Nope, wrong. The project showed how to polish the chambers on a double-barrel shotgun instead of the "normal" conotation of polishing the chamber on a semi-auto pistol or any sort of rifle. In the entire book there was only one handgun project, and in keeping with the cowboy theme, that project was to replace the trigger return spring on a Ruger single-action revolver.
Overall the project procedures were spot-on, but there is one project in particular that I have to criticize slightly: shortening a barrel. The author assumes (because it's his rifle) that a scope will be mounted on the rifle after the barrel is shortened, but what if you want open sights instead? There was no mention of how to install a new front sight where there was never one before; and depending on whether the rifle had open sights to begin with, a new rear sight might need to be installed from scratch also. He also made sure to use a stainless steel barrel in his example, so no touch-up blueing was required afterward. That's the only project in the book that I feel was left incomplete. Well, actually, now that I think about it, the scope mounting project assumed the receiver was already drilled & tapped, so I guess that project is somewhat incomplete as well, though perhaps drilling & tapping a receiver is a separate project in its own right.
Many of the projects require specialty tools; it'll cost quite a pretty penny to buy all the tools, jigs, fixtures, and materials referenced in this book! And where are you supposed to store all these specialty tools and set up large power tools like drill presses and belt sanders? This book is written for people who live on rural acreage and have a separate home workshop in the backyard; not too practical for people whose "workshop" is a corner of a garage in a high-density Southern California metropolis (especially if they actually use that garage for parking cars instead of setting up a workshop!). It's a catch-22, I think. Anyone who has a home workshop to perform these projects probably already knows how to do them and doesn't need this book, and those of us who need the book also need a shop space.
But like I said earlier, I enjoyed reading every page of this book, and the material is well-presented (if you overlook all the typos). I can understand exactly what's going on and follow what the author is describing... and if *I* can, pretty much anyone can. The book is only 155 pages long but is PACKED with useful information; and when you consider the low price that Amazon charges for it, you just can't go wrong with this book. Even the book itself is high quality, a hardcover edition with thick glossy pages. I'm really glad I bought it, and that's the bottom line. After reading it, I'm also really glad I never bit on AGI's Practical Gunsmithing course for $597! :)
One last item of information. The very last chapter is devoted to building a custom bolt-action rifle from scratch. The author begins with a Mauser action from Charles Daly. Unfortunately, Charles Daly (K.B.I.) went out-of-business early last year (months before the publishing date of this book!), so it might be tough to start "from scratch" anymore; i.e. not many manufacturers sell bare actions. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Remington is selling the Mauser actions now, but I'm not 100% sure of that; they might be selling full rifles based on the actions instead.

A Good Book, Well Worth Reading
By John Tremblay
Oriented for the home shop, I thought the book has some useful information for a beginning gunsmith. This is not an all-inclusive Gunsmithing guide. I have read criticisms of the gunsmithing projects included in the latter section of this book as being very specific to certain makes of firearms. True, however the projects are examples, that when taken as a whole, serve give the reader a glimpse into a common Gunsmithing jobs. Not exactly groundbreaking information, but the book kept my attention with plenty of color pictures and an easy to read writing style. For me the book was enjoyable to read. The author has a self-deprecating style and is not afraid to share in the various Gunsmithing mistakes he has made in the past. In particular, the author gives examples of nearly ruining gunstocks when attempting to glass bed an action.
Although most of the information presented in the book is available from various sources on the internet, the book is concise, well written and worth the cover price. A few of the chapters that I found to be the most thorough and helpful were the sections dealing with the selection of tools and equipment and the setting up of a home workshop. Brownells is mentioned prominently thorough out the book, but what do you expect? Brownells is the premier Gunsmithing tool supplier in the US. Stock bedding is mentioned in detail, including many tricks and tips.
Overall, an interesting book with some basic information that is enjoyable to read. I rated the book four-stars because I enjoyed it. I do feel that it is not in the same class as the more the Kuhnhausen books, which I consider indispensible and five-stars.
I bought and read the book via Amazon's Kindle although I think paying for the hardcover version is a better way to go. For me, it is easier to read a traditional book than it is to sit down in front of the laptop and focus. If I find the hardcover version at my bookstore, I would be willing to spend the money to put it on my bookshelf.

Good - project specific.
By E Rosenquist
I've been shooting a while, but putting tools to my own guns has been something I've been reluctant to do, but as I shoot more. So I bought this looking for a sort of general intro to the basics.
This book offers chapters, each a project the author shows you - like glass-bedding a rifle in one chapter, and a number of other useful projects - recoil pad installation, etc.
What I got from it was a good look at what the rifle looks like dissasembled, which gave me the guts to take apart my rifle and make some minor trigger adjustments with the confidence that I could take it down and put it back together - and an understanding of how those parts related.
I think that the book could use a few more photos but overall, it's a good introduction and his emphasis on safety and using the right tool for the job should get most off on the right foot.
