I have the 5th edition somewhere down in my workshop. I think it is up to 7th or 8th by now. The explanations on measurement techniques were what made this book an icon. It is amazing that a book written in the 1930's has a lot of relevant info today.
Colvin also had a book printed in 1916 or so, about the making of the Model of 1903 U.S. Rifle, Cal. .30-06, available at your finer internet archive locations. https://archive.org/details/cu31924012809897 If you d/l get the .pdf version scanned and conversion to other formats causes an inordinate amount of garbles.
