ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FIREARMS PARTS AND ASSEMBLY BY F.R. BROWNELL

This book is rare and difficult to find at a reasonable price – See Info at the Bottom

The Author of this book is:  F.R. Brownell (With other author contributors thru the various editions.)  F.R. Brownell is the son of the Founder of Brownell’s, Inc.

The First Edition of this Encyclopedia was published in 1959.  It states on the first page inside the book that it is Volume 1.  There is NO Volume 2, it was never completed.

My book is the 15th Printing March 1974.

This is the comprehensive service manual which encompasses American-made guns prior to 1959.

It is the Bible of information for the Gunsmith, Dealer and Hobbyist.

As the guns covered in The Encylopedia get older, this 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 or hobbyist might have to pass up repair or restoration work on 'Dad's favorite', without The 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 (15th Printing March 1974).

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


DETAILED MEASUREMENTS IN CHART FORM of the thousands of pins, screws, and helical springs that are shown in all the parts lists. Only those of very unusual construction or function are not shown. This information is available in printed form nowhere else in the world.
