Synopsis
Can 11 million rifle shooters be wrong? A recent study by the National Sporting Goods Association showed that more than 11 million people use rifles for target shooting and hunting every year. Now they can turn to noted gunsmith Patrick Sweeney for guidance on rifle repair and improved performance. Sweeney shows rifle shooters the ins and outs of do-it-yourself repair and provides tips on improving accuracy and reducing recoil for hunters and target shooters.
Plenty of photos clearly illustrate each step of every project as Sweeney's latest book gives rifle owners everything they need to finish gunsmithing projects while avoiding the pitfalls. From wood refinishing to smoothing a rough trigger pull, Sweeney guides readers every step of the way. There is no better book for the hobbyist who enjoys working on rifles.
