This website is awsome but it is not compiled into a format I can refer to one step at a time while working the rifle. By the way how do you guys put up the cool logo images next to your posts? I want a pretty flower to be shown by my name.hinking.gif

The 'AR-15 Sourcebook' is pretty good, despite the fact that it is pretty much a cut and paste affair like most Paladin Press titles. That is what you are after anyways, you just want as much info in one place as possible right? Usually retails for $35-40. I just don't put much faith in a lot of the historical background stuff that is in there. Reportedly a lot of it is heresay.
ETA: If you don't feel like reading, the AGI and Bushmaster videos are pretty good too. |

working ON the AR?
Closest I can think of would be Kuleck or Martin/Tillman's books. Neither really go into serious detail tho, just a lot of assembly, disassembly stuff. M/T's book does discuss customizing to some extent. Long has a bunch of crap out and most of it is just reprints of the military manuals. The TMs are good if you're only working with military grade (inspected at least twice) parts. You'll encounter a lot of problems not covered by the TMs if you use civilian grade parts. Working WITH the AR, Jim Crews has the best book. You get the "cool logo images" when you become (IE send in money for a membership) a Team Member. |

I used the Bushmaster DVD to take my AR apart for giggles, very easy to follow

The only manual I have/use is the Army's 23&P manual. It is a mid-level service/repair book. Plenty of illustrations, step-by-step instructions for all types of repairs/dissasembly, and a pretty good troubleshooting section. You should be able to find one fairly easily. It probably isn't the best for "high-speed" variations but it has the basic model down cold.

If Tweak's troubleshooting topics (and the information therein) was compiled into a book THAT would be the quitessential AR guide book. In fact that would be a book I'd order in a second.

Where does it say that?
SOTA, UC Go to the source man! Also, his CDs are excellent values, you can get all the manuals (his From Behind the Line is awesome) on one CD for cheap. Highly recommended. Mention you're an ARF member or an AR15-L listserve member and IIRC there is, or was, a discount. |
