Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Now the average person can easily make a submachine gun with minimal tools, equipment and material. This nontechnical book walks you through building the receiver, breech block, barrel, trigger assembly, stock, pistol grip, sights and magazine, as well as heat treating and finishing. Must reading for anyone who is concerned about our increasingly restrictive government. For academic study only.

2 out of 5 stars Poor Drawings & Instructions   July 25, 2007
This is the first volume in Bill Holmes "Home Workshop Guns" series and it suffers from poor drawings, illustrations, and instrusctions. Unless you already have a fair idea of what you are doing I doubt you would be able to make a working firearm based on this book.

If you are looking for a clear, complete, and easily understood reference on how to make a firearm I would recommend Gerard Metral's "Do-it-yourself Submachine Gun" book instead. It has much better drawings, illustrations, and instructiions.

Do-It-Yourself Submachine Gun: It's Homemade, 9mm, Lightweight, Durable-And It'll Never Be On Any Import Ban Lists!

The author has an overrated view of his own capabilities.
Insufficient detail to make this publication worthwhile.
Totally unprofessional.

3 out of 5 stars you need access to the mag decribed in this book   July 7, 2001
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I read this book 2 times, and then from the back once because the gun you end up buy trying to make is in the last two pages.There is also no mag in this book ,as long as you have access to the one in the book you should have a good chance at building one.


2 out of 5 stars subpar book   August 24, 2000
 17 out of 18 found this review helpful

Don't waste your money on this book! It does have a few useful bits of info but if you think you could build a gun using this book, think again. The black and white photos were so over exposed that you can't make out any detail, the drawings were so faint that half of them couldn't be seen and nearly all of them didn't have any dimensions.I'd suggest Gerard Metrals book "A Do-it Yourself Submachine Gun" if you have access to machining equipment.It's packed full of prints.Also try Bill Holmes later volumes 3, 4, and 5. He did a much better job on those.
