Some of the best areas to get your gun-oiled hands on some firearm blueprints can be hard to find. We thought it would be a good idea for us to search for your benefit and offer you some advice about the best places to seek reliable prints while working within a limited budget. As this article is online, it shouldn’t be a problem for you that many of the places we thought were best for blueprints are online so you’ll at least require a computer and modem!
A basic search for ‘firearm blueprints’ returns some very positive results from the really famous search engines.
One of the best online sites for the publication of firearms blueprints and schematics is WeaponsCombat. This web site boasts a full range of guns blueprints as well as invaluable advice on how to read the prints and how to go about making the gun for yourself. WeaponsCombat also offers and a skipload of other interesting and useful e-books and articles about weapons and tactics.
If you’ve got yourself a great computer, you can probably afford the diskspace and try downloading the blueprints from sites like TorrentReactor which allows you to download in bulk from it and other related bit-torrent websites. However, this might not be the best idea for you if you’re not great with computers as you’ll not be able to inspect the file before downloading and, as with most torrents, you can get corrupted files which will disable your computer.
Alternatively, if you can’t be bothered to wait around for your dinosaur computer to get the large files, you could hit your public reference library and ask them if they have any or if they can run an inter-library loan from a copyright or military library. If you are tired of searching and are ready to pay, you could contact an armory or a weapons manufacturer as they should be able to offer you a fresh or photographed copy for some cash.
One final site you might try is the best which we saved for last, the ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ of guns blueprints and schematics, the well-named FirearmsManuals. This site has a live community filled with people trading in and selling old and new firearms manuals, blueprints, models and ideas. not to mention a range of options that allow you read print schematics for free and you can even buy sections of rare multi-page documents so you only pay for what you wanted and not for useless sections or padding. Probably one of the most useful in the genre, this site does exactly what its domain name suggests.
