Before the publication of The Encyclopedia late in 1959, absolutely no service manual encompassing all American-made guns was available for the gunsmith, dealer or hobbyist. What information was to be had, had to be dug out the hard way-and at best it was skimpy. As the guns covered in The Encylopedia get older, the information becomes even more valuable; what little other info was available has long since gone out of print, original manuals have been lost and today's gunsmith might have to pass up repair or restoration work on "Dad's favorite", without The Encylopedia. It answers hundreds (and thousands!) of questions and problems. As so many have told us after getting their copy: "It paid for itself the first day I owned it-just in time saved alone." Here's what you'll find in your Encylopedia:
DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY TECHNICAL MANUALS - Especially released for The Encyclopedia, they cover base repair and maintenance for the '03 Springfield and later modifications; the 1911 pistol, Remington Models 10 and 11; Winchester Models 12 and 97; Stevens 520/620; Savage 720 and Ithaca 37. All with detailed illustrations and nomenclature lists.
NEW GUN INSTRUCTIONS that most manufacturers issue with each new gun, giving assembly and disassembly instructions, PLUS the extensive GUNSMITH MANUALS of Winchester, Remington and Browning up to the date of printing (late 1959).
UNUSUAL ILLUSTRATIONS from the files of the manufacturers showing the functioning of many of the guns. Most are no longer available, many were never publicly released.
ALL AVAILABLE PARTS ILLUSTRATIONS & LISTS -Many of these are either exploded view or schematic, showing where parts go and in what order they are assembled. "Our illustration is worth 10,000 words!"
ILLUSTRATION OF ALL NEW GUNS being manufactured in the U.S. as of Jan. 1,1959, for which information is available... complete specifications given on each number and model.
DETAILED MEASUREMENTS IN CHART FORM of the thousands of pins, screws, and helical springs shown in all the parts lists. Only those of very unusual construction or function are not shown. The information available in printed form nowhere else in the world.

Lt. Col. William S. Brophy. USAR, Ret. 616 pages. 9" X 11". Hardbound. The massive lifetime work of the 1903's premier authority, this is the complete, authoritative masterpiece on the subject. His exhaustive research took Brophy into some of the rarest collection in existence, resulting in more than 1500 first quality photos of all models of the gun, its appendages and accessories. Such excessive documentation makes the book a history classic too. It follows the rifle through both World Wars, tracing its development and detailing accessories, appendages, racks, bayonets, scabbards, sights, various models and much more. In fact, everything about the rifles! With the extreme popularity of the Springfield 1903 rifles through the years-a fascination closely akin to an auto buff's love for classic cars - this book is a monument to these rifles, passionately and wonderfully presented. A must for every gun lover and collector - covering one of our most famous and best loved military rifles in detail and with superb documentation never before attempted or achieved.

James B Meek. THE ART OF ENGRAVING brings to the reader-for the first time ever a complete, authoritative, imaginative and detailed introduction and training in the art of gun engraving. It is a supremely unique book, for not only does it sweep aside the mystery which has surrounded engraving through the centuries, but it factually, simply and in layman's terms tells you how to engrave. Unlike so-called "instruction manuals", THE ART OF ENGRAVING does not assume you know anything about engraving. You start at the beginning by learning to draw scrolls and layouts, then cut practice plates until you are sure enough of your ability to actually proceed to designing a pattern, transferring it to a gun and cutting it into the steel. Whether you want to learn to engrave now...think you might like to in the future...or simply wish to broaden your knowledge of the art to be able to better judge the work of others (as you will learn to tell the good from the bad - and know why), this is the book for you.
Every gunsmith, gun lover or craftsman - no matter what his other calling-has the soul of an artist. This personal, creative urge can be easily directed into the highly remunerative field of gun engraving through the coaching, n-nonsense instructions and technical support in THE ART OF ENGRAVING. Chapters include: Design and Layout; Materials; Anatomy; Lettering; The Camera; Beginning to Engrave; Advanced Engraving and The Gravermeister. Hundreds of original engravings, designs and layouts by the author (plus samples from other master engravers) to explain specific points and techniques. Much of the original work is intended for you to copy and transfer to your own guns to create an engraving job you can be proud of having done.

Bob Brownell used to tell about two old gun nuts watching the world go by and the first remarking, upon viewing a particularly shapely woman's legs, "Boy, don't you wish they could make a gunstock that purty?" His pal replied, "Alvin Linden does". In this combined reprint of the three original Samworth booklets, Linden himself shows, and tells you, how to start from a full blank and create a classic rifle stock; he even includes six, full-size patterns for the Winchester 70, Springfield '03 and 1917 Enfield. With the principles you learn, you'll be able to adapt them to any body action.
