Thumbs up A Great Book for S&W Revolver Smiths!

I know this book has been mentioned here many times, but I have to give some kudos for "The S&W Revolvers, A Shop Manual" by Jerry Kuhnhausen. I just received my copy of the 5th edition today and it has more info than I dreamed of. Well worth the $35 + shipping. I think I saw someone asking $265 (or something like that) for the same book on Ebay.

Just ordered me one from Brownells too. Along with some endshake bearings. I figure shooting several of my s&w revolvers every single week I am going to need both eventually.

Absolutely the best reference book available on the gunsmithing of the S&W Revolver.

If you like the book, you should watch the movie. Jerry did a DVD titled "Gumsmithing the S&W J,K,L,N Frame Revolvers". Says "This supplimental Companion DVD Program adds a visual chapter to the book". It is very worthwhile purchasing. I learn something new each time I go through it and it is more thorough than the other Jerry's (Miculek) DVD.
