Best By Far 30/09/2017
I've purchased many gunsmithing books but this, by far, has the best explanation for rifle re-barreling and chambering.
Processes explained clearly and, most importantly, are accompanied by clear diagrams.
A great book 11/05/2015
Very well-written and detailed book on barrel-fitting. Everything in the description is true and accurate. Pretty helpful if you've never fit a bolt-action barrel before, and VERY informative if you're used to just doing one type.
