Book of the AR-15

[DV8]

I was at Barnes & Noble and picked up a copy. Pretty good read, If you're new to the AR, might be interesting to you.

Walmart has them too. I think they give you 10 or 15 percent off of the cover price as well.

Is this the one put out by Guns and Ammo? Has a an article of the 6.5 and 6.8SPC; an article how it all started when Gen. Curtis Lemay wanted to order 20,000? then it's a great book. If it's not the one I'm talking about can we see the cover?

Thanks

There is a Gun Digest one too that I forgot about. I was referring to the same one you were vrylak. I have no experience with the GD version but the G&A one I thought was pretty good.

Edited to correct my spelling.

Yeah its the guns and ammo one. The gundsmithing and reloading articles gave me a couple more tips I didnt know about...

Yup, lots of ideas on what to put on that CA legal AR. Makes me wish I had more money for more receivers...

I thought it was allright....not that impressed over all though. I wanted a more detailed description of take down,assembly, customizing, etc. Did give info on the major manufacturrers though. I wouldnt have bought it if I would have known what wasnt in it.

I think it is a good starting point for those who know nothing about ARs. I know that when I first read, I was overwhelmed a bit. Reread some articles and with the gained knowledge over the last month or two, some things made more sense.

Pretty good readin, picked one up last week.

I think it was intended for people who are already familiar with the AR. There aren't any articles about how it works, how to maintain it, how to shoot it. Except for the one article about the history of the gun, the articles seem to be more focused on the different variants and accessories that are available for the rifle than the actual rifle itself.

I had been reading and reading on AR15.com and wanted a good resource...I was recommened Some of the Answer: Advanced Urban Carbine and I am DEFINEATELY not disappointed.

It covers everything from basics of the gun to combat tactics. It is easy to read and HIGHLY illustrated.

It is written by Jim Crews and his email is jimcrews@sprynet.com. I think there is a link somewhere on ar15.com but I am too lazy to find it.
