We spoke with leaders in the tool making industry about the things they spend most of their time and effort educating clients about. Contributions from Clymer, Forster, Manson, JGS, PTG, SAAMI and more are all included. There are books for machinists that teach this type of information, but until now there has never been a book for gunsmiths that explains the tools of the trade and how they should be utilized. The idea is simple, answer your questions before you order any tool.
Nomenclature is important, when you talk to a reamer maker, gunsmith or client you want to know the correct terms. This indicates to those you work with that you took the time the understand the tools. It will improve your ability the sell work to customers, buy or rent the right tools for the job. You will save untold hours and dollars, don’t learn at the “School of Hard Knocks”.
When you understand tools, they work better and last much longer. This both saves money and increases profits.

I am at a loss to adequately describe it!” Dennis ‘Mike’ Bellm, Bellm TC’sBook, Hard cover, 256 pages.
Parker Otto Ackley left a wealth of firearms knowledge among those he trained. The eminent gunsmith, ballistician, barrel maker, teacher and writer perhaps had more influence on modern shooting and firearms than any other single man. And now his life and works have been painstakingly detailed in P.O. Ackley: America’s Gunsmith.
Writer and gunsmith Fred Zeglin gives a never-before-seen look at the humble man whose research thrust the firearms industry forward. From improving rifle chambers for use with modern powders to developing superior barrels to designing red-hot cartridges, readers will walk away with a new appreciation for Ackley’s exploration and ideas. And his concepts on reloading, rifle accuracy, safety, cartridge choice, and wildcat use are just as relevant for today’s “gun cranks” as they were in Ackley’s heyday.
Zeglin also delivers the most complete collection of accurate dimensions, loading data and history for the lifetime of cartridges created by P.O. Ackley, the most influential gunsmith in American history. Most shooters today know him because of his “Ackley Improved” cartridge designs. But those cartridges are only the tip of the iceberg. P.O. Ackley: America’s Gunsmith is the whole story.
Bonus: Full-color photo section and an exclusive never-before-printed article by P.O. Ackley.
