I have a dream (maybe a pipe dream) of designing and producing my own firearms and accessories. I'm a gunsmithing student and CNC machinist now learning parts of the trade. I'm also trying to reach myself CAD by modeling parts around the house and blueprints I find on the internet.
I'm looking for recommendations for good books I can read in my downtime. Not necessarily reference or instructional books as much as something you can sit down and read, if that makes sense.
I don't have much of a book budget right now, so starting with books I have a good chance of finding at my local library is good. Books on firearm design, triggers, basic engineering, manufacturing techniques, machining, automation, metallurgy etc. If you recommend it from a place of experience and I can find it at my library, I'll read it and see what I can learn.
These are separate from the required books for my gunsmithing classes which include the Brownells Gunsmithing Kinks
Thanks
