I know that I've asked it. Maybe I'm the only one who took the 17 step program to being a CRUFFLER (see below) but I think that many others did this too: 1. Get the license 2. Buy a rifle 3. Field strip it, clean it, forget how to put it back togeather 4. Post a question here 5. Finally get it togeather 2 weeks later 6. Shoot it 7. Strip it all the way down, except for the parts that refuse to come apart 8. Post a question here 9. Get it apart, loosing a part 10. Look for the part 11. Order a replacement for the part 12. Find the part by stepping on it barefoot 13. Refinish the rifle 14. Put it half way back togeather; get confused 15. Post a question here 16. Finish putting it back togeather 17. Shoot it some more So what if there were a source of complete Assembly/Disassembly instructions, with plenty of pictures, on all of your favorite C&R rifles... I've found it! (I swear I do not get money from these folks, I am just sharing a resource.) I found "The Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly / Disassembly Part IV: Centerfire Rifles." (c) 1980 by J.B.Wood. It includes complete insutructions for 33 rifles, including: Brit. SMLE No.1 Mk.3 Jap. Arisaka 99 Mouser 98 Mosin-Nagant Schmidt-Rubin 1911 rifle (not the Colt 1911) U.S. Krag-Jorgensen U.S. 1917 Enfield U.S. M1 Carbine U.S. M1 Garand U.S. Springifeld 1903 Winchester 1892, 1894 It also includes modern rifles, but that's off topic here.
