Description
This special gun book and gun video set contains the latest edition of Jerry Kuhnhausen’s bestselling The Colt .45 Automatic shop manual plus his hour long (circa) training DVD which adds a ‘visual chapter’ to the book.
THE BOOK
The Colt .45 automatic: A shop manual by Jerry Kuhnhausen is a detailed book which is extremely practical for every level of gunsmithing knowledge. This manual covers the 1911 from the lanyard loop to the barrel bushing. Contains useful information on inspection, part selection, part installation, troubleshooting and function testing. Also shows tricks the pros use to turn stock 1911s into full-blown carry and race guns. Contains instructions and illustrations on assembly and disassembly, pitfalls to avoid and areas to check for the best performance.
With this expanded 10th edition by Jerry Kuhnhausen, the original and time tested The Colt .45 Automatic: A Shop Manual pistol bench manual is now in its 18th printing and remains the best bench inspection, trouble shooting, repair, hand fitting and basic accurizing manual ever published on the subject.
Readers have commented that the new 10th edition has lots more information and might make earlier editions obsolete. All we can say is we sincerely hope not, because the earlier editions are still full of useful information – The 10th edition just has a whole lot more.
THE DVD
Gunsmithing the Colt .45 Automatic was edited from gunsmith training course materials and was originally available only as a companion video for the Jerry Kuhnhausen Colt .45 Auto Shop Manual.
Although this DVD is still suggested for that purpose the video stands by itself and provides additional practical gunsmithing information.
Run time is approximately 1 hour.
