Gunsmithing the AR-15, Vol. 3: The Bench Manual

Great book, full of information.

A good bench manual for gunsmithes

Excellent

I bought Gunsmithing the AR-15, The Bench Manual by Patrick Sweeney on Amazon. It arrived in a timely manner with no damage. I have volumes 1-4 of The AR-15 and volumes 1 and 2 of Gunsmithing the AR-15 by Patrick Sweeney. This is by far the best of them all. It is listed as a companion volume to Gunsmithing the AR-15 Volumes 1 and 2 but if you don't already have them you don't need them. This book contains more information and in much greater detail than the others. I have always wondered why they never published book like this one with so many people building ARs from parts. This book covers building a custom AR-15 from parts using and comparing some of the most popular brand components side by side. There are step-by-step instructions on replacing and upgrading every single part on the AR-15. He goes into detail about each part and explains not just how, but why. It is well written, easy to understand with a sense of humor.

Good book on understanding the AR platform.
