Ther eis actually a community of gunsmiths on facebook, and we shoot questions to each otehr all the time.... We also use forums like this one and the one on numrich's website for answers.... But mostly I use books and notebooks that I have collected over the years... notes from school, Kunhausen, Gunsmith Kinks, etc.

I usually use a few forums that are set up for gunsmiths, the one I like the best is http://thegunsmiths.com/phpBB2/ its small and has mainly gunsmiths for members. But this forum is one of the best even though many aren't professional smiths their are some very knowledgeable people here.
http://www.homegunsmith.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi also has some good people willing to share.
