"The Gunsmith's Manual" by J. P. Stelle and Wm. B. Harrison is a comprehensive handbook for American gunsmiths written in the late 19th century. This manual serves as a practical guide to all branches of the gunsmithing trade, covering topics from the history of gun development to detailed instructions on how to make and repair various types of firearms. It is likely aimed at both novice and experienced gunsmiths looking to enhance their craftsmanship or knowledge in the field." "At the start of "The Gunsmith's Manual," the authors introduce the rich history of firearms, tracing their origins from early gunpowder to the development of more modern guns. The opening chapters discuss significant milestones in firearm technology, such as the invention of the first rifles and various firing mechanisms, detailing the advancements that transitioned firearms from rudimentary designs to more sophisticated weapons. The text emphasizes the evolving nature of firearms and hints at the complexities that future gunsmiths must understand, laying a foundation for the subsequent practical guidelines on gun manufacturing and maintenance presented in the following chapters."
