Brownells Volume IV Gunsmith Kinks Book

Continuing the esteemed tradition of the first three volumes, the fourth installment in the series introduces additional Kinks to assist you in overcoming challenges in the workshop. It offers innovative ideas for tools and time-saving fixtures, along with numerous business and shop tips. Additionally, it includes all the jokes featured in the Newsletter since the release of Kinks III in 1993, as well as many new Kinks and jokes not previously published in any Newsletter. One might assume that after three prior volumes of Gunsmith kinks books, there would be nothing new to discuss regarding gunsmithing. However, this would be a significant underestimation of the ingenuity of fellow gunsmiths and tinkerers. In fact, we believe they are more inventive than anyone else. New firearms are introduced that require repairs and new games are developed that necessitate different modifications to the guns used. Gun enthusiasts readily share their unique Kinks with fellow gunsmiths, even potential competitors, to ensure tasks are completed efficiently and accurately in their own workshops. We have compiled 569 original how-to Kinks, 332 illustrations and 64 pages of the latest instructions on various processes-from color case hardening to applying our bake-on finishes and more. Additionally, we have included how-to articles reprinted from the Brownells BenchTalk newsletter and an entire chapter dedicated to advice on managing your shop and increasing profits. The book contains 133 pages with 167 job-specific Kinks for handguns, rifles and shotguns, methods to prevent small springs and parts from disappearing, techniques to enhance the versatility of your drill press, sample dream shop layouts and much more. This comprehensive collection would not have been possible without the invaluable contributions of our dedicated customers. No single gunsmith or even a dozen across twelve shops, could encounter all the tasks or issues for which solutions are provided in Gunsmith Kinks IV. The collective expertise contained within is truly astounding. You have the opportunity to access the job files of the world's best gunsmiths and benefit from the hours they spent devising solutions to the problems you face. If just one of the 569 Kinks in this book saves you one or two hours of troubleshooting or if a business tip attracts a new customer, the cost of Kinks IV is justified-and everything else it helps you achieve is an added bonus.
