Hey Yukon glad that helped you out. I guess it might be a first edition book, but I am not sure. I have not seen any second or third editions of this takedown book I have that I used to send you pics and info from,
( "Sporting Rifle Takedown and Reassembly Guide" by J. B. Wood), although there may be out some out there to be had. There are a few takedown books that are in a series, many of which I still need to buy. Gun books are like guns, tools and money, there's no such thing as having too much of them hahaha. :lol:
I know there are a series of take down books put out by Gun Digest but they are mostly Schematics blueprints, exploded drawings etc. The NRA put out a series also of firearms assembly.
The way I started collecting books inexspensively is by joing OutdoorLife book club and the Military book club yearsssss ago back in high school. Not sure if they even still have that same bookclub goign or not but it's worth looking into. I may re-join the bookclub to see what they have these days if they still have it going.
Give me a shout if ya need anything else, and I will help if I can. I don't have a ton of books, but I do have a few.
Happy Shootin Boys
