Good Places to Scour for Firearm Manuals
It can be hard to find the best places to get your cordite-covered paws on some gun manuals. However, we though we would scour for your benefit to offer you some advice about the best places to seek reliable manuals within a limited budget. Many of the places we thought were best are online so you’ll at least require a computer and modem, but then this article is online as well, so it shouldn’t be a problem for you!
One of the best internet sites for the publication of firearms schematics and manuals is WeaponsCombat.com. This online site boasts a full range of free-to-access guns manuals as well as advice on the dos and don’ts of home security. There’s also a lot of other interesting and useful e-books and articles about weapons.
A basic look for ‘firearm manuals’ yields some positive results from the larger search engines. One of the most intriguing sites was StevesPages which gives users great free PDF files of a selection of manufacturers’ manuals for weapons including the popular Glock 11. ReloadBench offers a similar service while you have to pay for some items on ArmyMilitaryManuals.
If you have a great computer, you can probably afford the diskspace and try downloading the manuals which can be downloaded in bulk from bit-torrent sites. However, this might not be the best idea as you’ll not be able to inspect the file before downloading and, as with most torrents, you could be downloading corrupted files which often destroy your computer.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to wait around for your ancient computer to get the large files, you could hit your public reference library and ask them to request the books from the nearest copyright library. If you are tired of searching and are willing to pay, you should contact an armory or a weapons manufacturer as they should be able to point you in the direction of a fresh copy for a concession.
One final site you might try is the best which we saved for last, the ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ of firearms manuals, the appropriately named FirearmsManuals. This site has a live community filled with people trading in and selling old and new manuals, not to mention a range of options to let you read manuals for free and you can even buy sections of rare manuals so you only pay for what you want and not for the entire thing which might include a lot of padding. This site is definitely one of the most effective in the genre and although it may be further down in the search lists, it provides exactly what its domain name suggests.
