The Best Places to Search for Firearm Manuals
It can be hard to find the best places to get your cordite-covered hands on some gun manuals. Yet, we though we would look for your benefit to provide you with some advice about the best places to look for reliable manuals within a limited budget. Many of the places we thought were best are online so you’ll surely require a computer and modem, but then this article is online as well, so it shouldn’t be a problem for you!
One of the best internet sites for the publication of weapons schematics and manuals is WeaponsCombat.com. This internet site boasts a full range of free-to-access weapons manuals as well as advice on the dos and don’ts of home security. There’s also a truckload of other interesting and useful articles and e-books about firearms.
A simple search for ‘firearm manuals’ yields some positive results from the really big search engines. One of the most intriguing finds was StevesPages which gives users great free PDF files of a selection of manufacturers’ manuals for weapons including the popular Glock 11. ReloadBench gives a similar service while you have to pay for some manuals on sites like ArmyMilitaryManuals.
If you’ve got a righteous computer, you can probably afford the diskspace and try downloading the manuals which can be downloaded in bulk from bit-torrent websites. However, this might not be the best idea as you’ll not be able to inspect the file before downloading and, as with most torrents, you could be downloading corrupted files which can destroy your computer.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to wait around for your ancient computer to load the huge files, you could visit a public reference library and ask them to request the books from a copyright library. If you are tired of searching and are able to pay, you could contact an armory or a weapons manufacturer as they should be able to provide you with a fresh copy for a price.
One final site you might try is the best which we saved for last, the ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ of weapons manuals, the aptly named FirearmsManuals. This site has an active community forum filled with people trading in and selling old and new manuals, not to mention a range of options that allow you read manuals for free and you can even buy sections of rare manuals so you only pay for what you want and not for the entire thing which might include a lot of padding. This site is definitely one of the most user-friendly in the genre and although it may be further down in the search lists, it does exactly what its domain name suggests.
