I just wanted to share these with everyone.

I was looking for 1911 gunsmith manuals and the kuhnhausen manuals came highly recommended. So after doing a little searching I was able to find them in PDF format for download on the internet. Here they are enjoy.

EDIT

It has been brought to my attention that this book is in current production; which I was not a where of. The links have been removed to protect the Author.

Thanks, but..
Your second link doesn't work.. :-(
Oops, spoke too soon. It takes a long time to get the actual download..
BTW, if anyone is sick of adobe for pdf files, try foxit pdf viewer. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/reader4.php

It will open a page that will change. Look for the "button" that says "slow download". Click on that and go through the steps. One of which is waiting like 38 seconds. After the 38 second wait you will see a button that says "download" click on that one.

Don't mean to spoil the good times, but this is copyright infringement, plain and simple. Last time I checked, both Kunhausen manuals are still under copyright - the author and countless others worked hard to develop this material, and should be compensated for their efforts. It's not like it's out-of-print or particularly difficult to find, just buy the book!

I did not know they where current books. The links have been removed. Thank you for the heads up.

The Kunhausen Manual is worth the money for anyone learning to work on 1911's. He really put together a through manual.
take care

The books are available here:

Midway and Brownell's list them but they seem to be forever out of stock.

They are works of art and worth far more than what they cost. While you're at it buy the big 1911 wallchart, it's the one you see on the wall in the AGI 1911 DVD series.

In the words of Larry Potterfield, "Kuhnhausen's books are the one's by which all other gunsmithing books should be judged" and that says it all.

I have no association whatsoever with Heritage-VSP, but I have been a customer.

All the best.
