American GunSmith

Hopefully this belongs in this section, sorry if I goofed and it goes elsewhere..

I just received a magazine subscription offer to American Gunsmith. I never even heard of this rag before. It said it was for 6 issues. Anyone on here have any comments or know anything about this company/mag!.

Thanks

It's not a fancy magazine, almost a booklet form.
The articles are written by professional gunsmiths and "most" of them are good.
Once in a while you get one that's a little questionable.

The only problem is, these are generally for pros, and you may wait a while before you see anything that's useful for you.

Awhile back I got a solicitation from some wood working journal. I've got no real interest (it may have been the family trade waaaaay back, but I've got a dust allergy), but some of the articles looked interesting & neat. After seeing it was $140 a year, I tossed it.

I've got a collection of old American Rifleman mags. They were saved because of the technical gunsmithing articles. You don't see those anymore. I guess the lawyers done scared the editors. Somewhere I've got an article by (old timers struck, can't recall who started RCBS), on cutting chambers. Both very informative and highly entertaining.
