Rifles, Conversions & Shotguns
|

|
|
WARNING! Be advised you must obtain a permit from the Bureau of Alcohol,
|
|
Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) to own and use full-auto weapons, silencers and
|
|
other "restricted" weapons, and in some states, to make and use explosives
|
|
and/or explosive devices. BATF requires a separate licensing application.
|
|
BATF guidelines are included in some books that show how to convert or make
|
|
restricted weapons - when BATF regulations apply.
|
|
|
|
Other temporary conversions, may or may not require BATF licensing. If not,
|
|
the author usually mentions that fact. If the author fails to mention it,
|
|
be warned that it might be illegal if you don't have a permit for it!
|
|
Please check with BATF guidelines before you make any conversions. ALSO,
|
|
check your own state laws for licensing requirements.
|
|
|
|
Just because the information is legally available in books by virtue of the
|
|
First Amendment (Freedom of the Press) doesn't mean it's legal to do it,
|
|
make it, or use it! Publishers of such books usually mention in each
|
|
book's description they are for HISTORICAL AND/OR REFERENCE PURPOSES ONLY.
|
|
That lets them off the hook. (You're on your own if you violate any laws!)

SELECT FIRE 10/22, by Wayne Thorbrugh
|
|
The brainchild of a retired military ordnance man, the designs contained
|
|
herein will enable you to convert your Ruger 10/22 to full auto.
|
|
|
|
Having developed the design into a Class II manufacturing business, the
|
|
author knows that they work. After more than 100,000 rounds fired, he has
|
|
yet to encounter a parts failure in his Ruger conversions.
|
|
|
|
Two configurations are described and accompanied by detailed illustrations
|
|
and step-by-step directions; the front-mounted bolt arrestor and the rear
|
|
arrestor. A good drill press is needed to devise either of these two
|
|
methods, but reliability in undeniable.

THE STURM RUGER 10/22 RIFLE AND .44 MAGNUM CARBINE, By Duncan Long.
|
|
Legendary reliability and classic design are the hallmarks of the Ruger
|
|
10/22 rifle and .44 Magnum Carbine. Originally conceived as a practice
|
|
companion for the .44 Carbine, the 10/22 is considerably cheaper to plink
|
|
with than its center-fire brother. But the 10/22's qualities have made it
|
|
one of the most popular .22 rifles in the world.
|
|
|
|
In this in-depth look at both weapons, the author details the elegant
|
|
simplicity of the Ruger design and offers specs, troubleshooting
|
|
procedures, ammunition recommendations, and includes a lengthy chapter on
|
|
on the many aftermarket accessories available. This wealth of add-ons can
|
|
transform the 10/22 into a lightweight camping gun, compact survival rifle
|
|
or even a quasi-assault rifle.

AK47 - The Complete Kalashnikov Family of Assault Rifles, By Duncan Long.
|
|
In the world arena, the Soviet AK47/AKM assault rifle has built a
|
|
reputation as a durable, dependable weapon, able to function reliably while

|
|
Finnish Valmet and the Israeli Galil rifles, and other countries have
|
|
produced their own versions of the AK47. Many of these rifles are now
|
|
available in the U.S., but solid information on them is scarce.
|
|
|
|
The author takes the mystery out of the many AK47 variants, giving you
|
|
essential, hard-to-obtain information, including specifications, field-
|
|
stripping, cleaning, troubleshooting, and ammo and accessory advice. Get

|
|
most trusted firearms writers.

|
|
a shotgun, making it the weapon of choice today among special military
|
|
forces, anti-terrorist units and how owners who are serious about self-
|
|
defense.
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
rotary-cylinder shotguns, plus a chapter on grenade launchers you can mount

SUPER SHOTGUNS, How to Make Your Shotgun into a Do-Everything Weapon,
|
|
by Duncan Long.
|
|
The old saying "Beware the one-gun man" rings especially true when it
|
|
refers to the owner of a super shotgun system designed around the
|
|
specifications in this book. In it, the author does for the shotgun what he
|
|
did in earlier books for the AR-15/16, Mini-14 and AR-7. He provides clear,
|
|
easy-to-follow instructions, photos and diagrams for transforming it into a
|
|
customized one-of-a-kind weapons system that conforms to the owner's body,
|
|
pocket-book and sporting/combat needs.
|
|
|
|
By following the author's recommendations about modifications and
|
|
accessories, you can capitalize on the shotgun's inherent strength - its
|
|
unsurpassed accuracy and lethality within 25 yards while expanding its
|
|
range to more than 100 yards, increasing magazine capacity, speeding up
|
|
reloading and reducing recoil. These modifications are well within the
|
|
range of most shotgun owner's capabilities and budgets. And because
|
|
shotguns have not caught the eye of gun grabbers, you don't have to worry
|
|
about your shotgun being confiscated or outlawed as do owners of handguns
|
|
and combat-style rifles.
