Figure 13: When you need some specific information on

You should start accumulating all of the litera-
ture that is currently available. Furthermore, you
should keep it arranged so it is readily available
when the need arises. Filing cabinets are ideal,
but cardboard boxes will suffice for the present
time. Just make sure you file the literature so you
can find what you need without going through
the whole pile and arrange the material in alpha-
numerical order: first by manufacturer, then by
model number.
Manufacturers’ service manuals can range
in price from $1 to perhaps as high as $75.
However, some literature is free. Now would be
a good time to inquire as to the availability and
price of service manuals and parts catalogs that
manufacturers offer.
You can find a list of the major firearm manu-
facturers and importers in the United States on-
line at various sites.
