Brownells
Whether you're a professional gunsmith, an armorer, or a dedicated hobbyist working on your own rifles and shotguns, Brownells Gunsmith Kinks Volume II is a reference book that belongs on your bench. This 504-page hardcover compiles decades of real-world gunsmithing solutions—shop-tested tricks, clever jigs, practical fixes, and time-saving techniques developed by working gunsmiths in actual gun shops. If you're tired of hunting for answers online or guessing your way through a tricky repair or modification, this book puts proven solutions at your fingertips.
Gunsmith Kinks II picks up where the original volume left off, collecting everything that appeared in the Brownells Newsletter and catalogs over a 14-year span, plus hundreds of previously unpublished techniques that never made it into print before. You'll find hundreds of quick cures for difficult repairs, practical advice on drilling and tapping, bluing and plating tips, detailed information on gun interchangeability (including hard-to-find "private label" cross-reference lists), modern substitutes for old chemicals and solutions, and indexed guidance on specific firearms by name. The writing is by gunsmiths, for gunsmiths—straightforward, practical language from people who actually do the work every day.
The book includes 252 detailed photographs and drawings spread across its pages, backed by 719 separate subject headings to help you find exactly what you need. A 2,400-entry index cross-references both this volume and the original Gunsmith Kinks, so building a complete library is seamless. The deluxe hardcover features a sturdy sewn binding built to withstand daily bench use. This is the kind of resource that pays for itself the first time you solve a problem that would have otherwise cost you hours or sent you to a paid gunsmith.
