Our take on the Gunsmithing the Ar-15, Vol. 3: The Bench Manual

This is Patrick Sweeney's third volume on the AR-15 platform, subtitled The Bench Manual and published by Gun Digest Books in 2016. It is a paperback bench reference aimed at owners who want to build, maintain, troubleshoot or accurize their rifle rather than just read about its history. Sweeney is a longtime gun writer and armorer, and the book leans on hands-on procedure and component detail. Where general AR-15 guides cover the platform broadly, this one is written to sit on the workbench next to the rifle.

Pros

Cons

  • Paperback format wears with heavy bench use
  • Some material overlaps earlier volumes in the series
  • Not a beginner's step-by-step first build guide
