Gunsmithing the AR-15, Vol. 2 Kindle Edition

If you love the platform, this is one of the books that needs to be on the shelf with volumes 1, 3 and, 4. Patrick Sweeney does his research and tries parcel out a little more in each tome. I love his writing topically as well as the way he writes. Never overbearing or a passive brag as seen in many gun manuals. These were written as the AR platform was gaining popularity and so it feels like he is parceling out the information as it occurred. Admittedly these should probably be rewritten and condensed into one book but, that wouldn't be as profitable for the publisher, would it? There are sections that are now dated. Be it on particular manufacturers or on products that just don't seem as relevant today as they did then. Additionally, the influx of new calibers and suppression need to be addressed in a depth that just isn't covered in the four volumes to my satisfaction.They are awesome when taken in historical perspective remembering when they were written. Without a doubt, if you are an enthusiast, you will learn from each and every volume!!

Being clear, this is a great book, written by an authority on the subject. You can rely on every smidgen of information. However, it is written for the novice, and is not the continuation of the first volume with new content added. If you want to know about your new rifle, get this book. If you want more detailed information,but volume one. To be fair to the author,he said this in the description, but I just had to have it. Mr Sweeney give excellent advice; follow it and enjoy.

Buy only one of these and you have the information in all three of the series. Good information though.

Pictures are disappointing. I bought this manual to help me assemble an AR-15. Not much help?

Good info, interesting reading. New owner to one of these carbines with mechanical background. With this and with Sweeney's Gunsmithing... Bench Manual book lets owners know what can be done to improve their's or consider assembling parts to build one.

No revelations.

Fantastic guide. Essential for anyone running an AR. I had plenty of experience with the AR platform from years in the military and still found this guide great. It helps you clearly understand how the platform operates and how to properly maintain it for use rather than military inspection.

This is the best book I have come across for working on the AR-15. The author explains everything in simple easy to understand terms along with pictures. A little humor is mixed in as well.
