I don't know how many of you have been following it, but Shotgun News has been running a series on gunsmithing by Reid Coffield. It is an excellent series, very well written, and allows us to follow step by step as Coffield builds a European style sporting rifle on a VZ-24 action. There is a lot of information for anyone wanting to tackle such a project, and even some tips that working gunsmiths might be able to use.
It can also help the reader understand what is involved, what tools are necessary, and why, perhaps, something like this might not be an easy DIY project.
I don't know about getting back copies (I think there have been 5 or 6 chapters at this point), but I have contacted SGN to see if they might consider reprinting this and some of their other original material in book form, like the Gun Digest Treasury series.
