So glad I bought this book! Lyons's book is a comprehensive, plain-language guide for keeping any firearm from a revolver to an AR-15 in tip-top shape. I've already found great advice for cleaning up my milsurp rifles.
The Gun Owners Handbook

I enjoyed Larry Lyons book, written as it was from the point of view of long experience. My interest is in routine care of my firearms to prolong their useful/accurate life, and do modest restoration work rather than teaching me to be a gunsmith, so it will form a valuable addition to my library.
