Found a place you get reprints of past manuals and gun books.

This place also:

http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/FIREARMS/

Not all manuals but a fair selection, and they are free to download.

Free is good right? Well most of the time, my M-I-L came free when I married my wife, that wasn't such a good deal[smilie=1:

Found a manual for my Kimber Government 82 here with instructions on adjusting the trigger. That was good.

I’ve used them before. The reprint was definitely usable but didn’t seem as robust as the current Lyman #4 as far as paper stock goes. Definitely usable and nice to get a reprint though of an earlier Lyman manual.

Just remember formulations and testing have changed so compare with newer data.

Didn't find anything there I haven't found elsewhere, but they do have some good stuff. Maybe I shouldn't get so many really old weapons. ;) Thanks for posting this one.

This page will lead you to archived web pages--old pages or pages that no longer exist. You can find stuff that you thought was long lost when companies/web pages folded.

A lot of the old books from the 1920's and earlier are there, too. I've gotten a lot of my machining stuff, and also some good stuff on guns and ammo.

I found Cornell's though ebay. But ordering direct no sales tax.
