| Quick and Dirty Methods for Fixing Firearms in Desperate Times There may come a time when government restrictions severely limit not only access to firearms but the tools and means to repair and maintain them, or you may someday find yourself in the boondocks with a busted weapon. That's where the guerrilla gunsmith comes in. Ragnar Benson has had experience fixing "junk" guns in some tough places around the world, and here he shares some innovative ways to patch up, cobble together and otherwise make operational everything from antique rifles still found in remote war zones to modern firearms suffering from appalling abuse. Drawing on lessons and stories from backwoods experts he's worked with under desperate conditions in Africa, the Philippines, Thailand, Pakistan and beyond, Ragnar tells how to employ last-resort but effective techniques to remove hopelessly stuck rounds and other barrel obstructions, straighten bent barrels, replace lost parts, smooth out dented magazines, make repairs to some pretty hopeless stocks, scrounge up workable ammo and more. These are last-ditch, do-it-yourself methods, but they may be all you'll have to fall back on deep in the bush or with you back to the wall, when the only things between you and the enemy are a rifle and the know-how to make it work. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, photos, illus., 160pp. | |

| The width
and depth of its information is unprecedented in gun books. Every page is packed with
useful information not found elsewhere. For example, firearms importers have recently introduced several post-ban models of semi-auto battle rifles (e.g., FAL, H&K91, AK47, M1 Garand, etc.) which are made up of American receivers with foreign parts. Are these good rifles and good values? Boston tests them all and gives you the honest scoop. He also thoroughly describes the tricky legal and technical distinctions between pre-and post-ban assault rifles and explains how to avoid making an innocent mistake which could lead to a felony arrest. He scores (from 0-10 by 35 criteria five .308 battle rifles and fifteen .233 battle carbines to scientifically conclude not only which are best, but which are best in our current climate of regulations and availability. None of this has ever been before attempted. The many illustrations are supremely helpful: visible trigger group parts differences between the semi-auto AR15 and the full-auto M16 (so that the reader doesn't ignorantly buy an illegal weapon), sample BATF forms, and technical drawing. Funny cartoons, too. Boston books have become known for their astonishing practicality and street-savvyness, and Boston's Gun Bible is the most practical of them all. In today’s perilous climate, the American gunowner requires real-world information on law, politics, market forces, tactics, and technical matters. No other title explains all these, much less with such clarity. The reader will learn what to choose amongst the bewildering array of guns and gear, how to buy and sell, how to get quality training in safety and tactics, how to avoid BATF stings, how to defend the 2nd Amendment, what the gun laws are in each State, what “gun control to expect and in what sequence, and how to prepare for the eventual day of attempted gun confiscation. Chapter 32 (Letter to a Columbine Student) is one of the most concise and stirring rebuttals to reasonable gun legislation ever written. There is also material by Alan Korwin (author of Gun Laws of America), James Wesley Rawles (author of Patriots), and gun columnist Brian Puckett. Any random 15 chapters would stand alone as a fine gun book, but the 45 chapters truly make for the first real gun encyclopedia for the 21st Century. 5½ X 8½ 726 pp. |
