bumped into this website. unfortunately it requires a $30 yearly membership fee to get access to the meaty stuff, but browse around the freebies to see if it's worth your while.any good books that basically teaches about firearms?? ie ammuniton, calibers, maintenance, general stuff about firearms

it was also recommended to me to look into buying the book Cartridges of the World and that the yearly issue of Gun Digest is good to buy (currently available for $21 pre-order at www.chapters.ca).
as for cleaning and maintenance, it's my understanding that each firearm comes with a manual that tells you what you need to know...tho getting an 'idea' of what goes on would be useful, if there was a nice all-in-one manual!

Check at used book stores for rifle maintenence books. I think some put out by Outdoor life or some other hunting mag. They came in a series. Excellent and handy reference books.
Firearms books are usually kept in the sporting section or ask the counter person for hunting/firearms books.
Cheers

One good set of general information books are the DBI assembly/disassembly ones for pistol, rifle, military, etc. If you want to really get in depth with military guns look at the Collector Grade series of books, I have about 11 so far and can highly recommend them.

Thanks. I just went to Chapters online and spent $100 on gun books
Still waiting for my PAL so I can't buy ammo might as well read about guns
For learning about cartriges I can wholeheartedly recommend the lyman reloading manual. I pais like $30 for it at LeBaron's but it is a great read. I'm not relolading yet, but I will be eventually. But even without reloading, it really teaches you everything you need to know about Cartridges;bullets, primers,powders, casings, chambers and accuracy.
