Derrick:
It depends on how far back you want to go. I think the M'sH goes back to the '40s. I am sure there are other publications that predate that.
The most complete work on Gunsmthing that I have ever read is James Howe's "The Modern Gunsmith". It is a two volume set orignially published in the '30s and updated a couple of times, my copy in '54. This work does tell you how it was done, right down to how to build the tooling and grind the cutters for rifling a barrel. It is the last gunsmithing book I would part with.
