Second: Check the local City Colleges for classes on gun smithing. Third: Check the American Rifleman and other gun mags for schools on gunsmithing and hints and kinks type books. Check their web site also. A good thing to start with, would be to change the stock springs in your Ruger's with a "Lee Gunsmithing" or "Bunkhouse" spring kit. That's easy to do and makes a big difference. Both are referenced on this web site, the Cowboy Chronicle, and the Dillon web site. That should start you in the right direction. - Cord |

| Posted By: Cisco Houston Posted On: Jan 16, 2003 Views: 469 | RE: working on actions of all cowboy guns I just bought the book "Gunsmithing Guns of the Old West" it has info on pistols, rifles, and shotguns. This book is targeted toward the cowboy action shooter and is a very good reference. I bought mine at Hastings but Amazon and Barnes and Knoble have it also. |
