This is the original book on making a modern gun barrel. The Modern Rifle Barrel was written in 1965, and then I came out with Barrels and Actions, which covered much more. This manual covers the making of the modern button rifled barrel using the button rifle process. It does not cover fitting or turning of the barrel. The process described in this manual was the process that I used for years.

 When I first became interested in how they made Gun barrels, I was a full time gunsmith in Bucklin, Kansas. I was doing a lot of Gunsmithing work, such as chambering and fitting actions. I started to research the subject in all the different books that I could find. One thing that I found out very fast was that there was not any information on the process of making gun barrels. 

This was in 1956, and I was always getting guns in that had damage or pitted barrels that needed repair. Many of the processes and methods used in the shop had to be learned as I went along, as I could find no information on them. In 1962 I gathered all my notes and started putting together a manual on barrel making, and I included every process that I used in the shop. 

What does this book cover? SEE the TOC.
