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.

No, I have never taken a gun to a gunsmith to be reassembled. I have never taken it completly apart.
I could sure use the Gun Digest Book of Exploded Gun Drawings! I have two handguns not fully reassembled because I don’t know where a few critical parts are supposed to go. I also have another gun that I need to disassemble, but I don’t dare to until I get my hands on a copy of the Gun Digest Book of Exploded Gun Drawings, so I can put it back together properly and without any parts left over!
Technical illustration is as wonderful as maps. It helps me to understand how things work. My spouse has been doing this for 40+ years, and I’m newer to it and am the designated “explainer.” This would help me explain things.
This book would be a fantastic addition for the working library my son, the new Gunsmith, is compiling.
A wonderful gift from you and me.
I have purchased a few manuals for older firearms but having a compilation would be great.
I really enjoy learning how things work.It would be great to have a reference like this to help detail strip my handguns.I also work on watches.Thanks
Yes, unfortunately I’ve been in over my head before. This book would be invaluable in taking care of my firearms. Thanks for the opportunity.
This would be a handy tool to have on hand for the various guns on hand. It would definitely make the disassemble and reassemble easier.
I am currently going to school to become a gunsmith through correspondence. My instructor is Steve Felgenhauer. I am taking the course because I have no knowledge of guns. I have never taken a gun apart by myself. My husband introduced me to guns six years ago. He was in the US Army AD. He knows a lot about guns. However, I just do not understand without being able to see what he is talking about.
I believe that with this book, I will be able to excel in my studies, have a good reference book for my future gunsmithing hobbies/jobs, and be able to talk with my husband about guns easier.
Thank you Gun Digest for this opportunity!
I have had help from other shooters who have had info about guns that I own and I also have had to seek help because I could not find that info myself. It would be nice to have such a book as Gun Digest Book of Exploded Gun Drawings to be able to repay those that have helped me and also be able to offer that same help to other gun owners I meet.
Haven’t had to seek outside help so far. This book would be a highly useful reference.
Thanks for the chance.
I’ve always kept the owner’s manuals for my guns, and they usually are good enough. But a book of this sort would certainly help with any used gun I might get that didn’t come with a manual.
i scoured the inter net once to put a 45 auto together
with no avail a book like that would come in handy
Never had to do this, but I would like to win the book
It would be nice to win this book
being a mechanical engineer and CAD designer I would love this book.
If I’m not familiar with a weapon, I usually will not disassemble it past a point that I am comfortable. With this book that will change.
I’m always a little timid about disassembling a new gun. It would be nice to know there is a handy reference nearby in case I get in over my head.
