** The giveaway has ended, but be sure to check the Inside Gun Digest Books blog often for more chances to win great Gun Digest books.**
Sometimes a simple drawing showing the parts of a gun can be incredibly informative, indicating the exact placement and direction of insertion of parts with simple lines on paper. That’s what you get with the Gun Digest Book of Exploded Gun Drawings.
This collection of line drawings showing each piece of a disassembled gun is the perfect aid to anyone looking to identify and order replacement parts, or take a gun apart for cleaning and simple repair. Gun Digest Book of Exploded Gun Drawings presents line drawings of more than 1,000 disassembled guns, with parts identified by number and a key to those numbers.
In addition to the detailed, easy-to-understand drawings of rifles, shotguns and handguns of all types (single-shot, lever action, semi-automatic, bolt action, double, manually-operated repeater, slide action and revolvers), the book also features a resource section containing contact information for buying gun parts and supplies. This book is a must-have for gunsmiths, firearms collectors, shooters, hobbyists, and law enforcement officials – indeed, anyone who wants to be able to take apart a gun and put it back together.
This week, one lucky winner will get a copy of Gun Digest Book of Exploded Gun Drawings. To enter the random drawing, just post a comment below telling us – if you’re willing – whether you’ve ever had to take your gun to a gunsmith to put it back together. Or, as always, you can just say you’d like to win the book.
Entries will be accepted until midnight Monday (June 18, 2012) and we’ll announce the winner Tuesday (June 19).
Good luck!

Sounds great!
These are the only directions I would read!
I would like to win.
GREAT LOKKING BOOK…I OWN A .40 CAL HI-POINT AUTO & NEVER HAVE TAKEN IT APART OR FIRED IT. I NEED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE GUSTORE TO GET INFO ONHO TO TAKE IT APART.
I would definitely take a gun to a professional gunsmith if either I could not diagnose a problem, or if fixing it required a special tool. I’ve been lucky so far!
Definately could use a book like this! Need one!
Just once when I was very young, pre-Internet. I can handle most any most anything now.
This volume would be immensely useful when working on my own guns and those of my friends, some of whom are the kind who like to bring me a box of “can you put this back together?” I also occasionally do some side work for local pawn shops and such. Plus I’m the kind of geek that just like schematic drawings.
Would be a world of help when my friends bring me their guns wondering what’s wrong and even for disassembly/reassembly after cleaning. (I don’t know why I’m doing this, I’ve never won anything that I could actually use.)
I have a number of books and diagrams, but have run into several situations when none of the ones I have are for the gun being worked on. And, I sometimes have to spend quite a bit of time looking for diagrams on the web which, in some cases, does not yield what I’m looking for. I’ve been pretty fortunate that I’ve never had to take a box of parts to a smith. But—-I have had to spend considerable time, on a few, to figure out exactly how certain things come apart and go back together. I also have several other friends/family who call me to see if I can show them how to get one back together, or what missing/broken part they need to acquire. Without good pictures/diagrams, it can sometimes be more than a bit time consuming and frustrating.
Been planning to buy this book at some point. But, hey, if I can get you to send it for free, I’ll be quite tickled!
I have used diagrams like this book has to disassemble and reassemble – so did not need pro help.
A few years ago, I began shooting with my son and am always learning more about guns. What better way than through exploded diagrams?
My last version is from the early 1970s. I’ve fixed many old guns using it, but it needs an update!
Sound like a good book to own, I’m in
Drawings of exploded guns are cool! Put me in!
Never to the gunsmith. The books looks helpful in avoiding doing that in the future.
I would love to win this book!
I have never sent a gun to a gunsmith. With a book like this i hope i will never have to.
Interesting book. Please enter me
What a cool looking book. I’m in!
