Literally nothing? It’s just a bunch of empty pages?

Yes, I am expressively using "literally" to mean figuratively....

However, this book may as well be empty. It would be more useful if it was actually blank...then one could use it as a notebook or memo pad.
There are many vaucuous gun books out there but this one really takes the cake. Check it out if you don't believe me. Its amazing the writer has the nerve to offer it for sale.
 
A gentleman by the name of Brian Rau, has been very successful in putting together parts consisting of shims of high grade materials, cork gaskets, and canvas barrel wraps.
These kits will improve the accuracy of your Mosin Nagants. Sometimes by a lot. All depending on barrel condition etc.
I personally have seen just how great of a difference they can make.
The instructions are excellent.

He researched how the Finns and Russians accurized Mosin Nagants during the war, and simply provided the same instructions and materials in ready made shims.

He will be releasing kits for Mauser rifles soon. I have seen the instructions already, and I am very impressed with the details in the instructions.

I have several Swedish Mausers, and other Mausers. They all are very accurate.
Not all are accurate, and will require refitting. It's not a complicated job. However you do need to know what you are doing.
That's where Brian's kits come in. HE has done all the research and work in cutting the shims out, as well as gathering all the correct information.

Just to clarify, I have been playing around with Swedes since about 1983 and have owned many dozens, far too many to remember all of them ...modified some...restored some...just cleaned up and shot a lot of them...hunted with some.. still have a few...and I do know a lot about them...I already own the serious Swede collector books (like Crown Jewels) but I checked out that book (The M96 M38 M41 Swedish Mauser Performance Tuning Manual: Gunsmithing tips for modifying your Swedish Mauser rifles by David Watson ) just in case it covered something I had missed...I was really shocked at how little was covered...There is nothing in it. Even for a rookie. it is a blatant rip off aimed directly at those with little to no experience. ...be warned.

I know we are living in the golden age of Trump/BS...but I still think that if you are going to set yourself up as an authority on something (e.g. Swedes) by publishing and selling a book, it would help if you actually know something about the subject.

I remember a how-to-hunt book that you used to see around for sale at gunshows, written by some hunting authority in Quebec...half-way through the book, after dispensing all sorts of deer hunting wisdom, the author casually mentioned that he had never shot a deer in his life...not one...ever.
