Anyone have/read this book? I heard it was like the Bible for all things AR, wanted to see if it's worth dropping the 30-some-odd bucks on it...

It is an excellent reference but I would not label it the bible for all things AR. It is certainly worth the $30 IMO.

Ditto what Chris said - dunno if I'd call it "the bible" for all things AR, but it's a very good book. IMHO the book was a little short on details at times. But it's an excellent book and worth getting.

 

I've heard that the M16/M4 Handbook - by Mike Pannone is another very good book on ARs, but I haven't had a chance to pick it up yet.

The Handbooks best quality is its convenient size and can be easily carried to the range in a pocket or in your range bag. Other than that, some of the info is dated IMO and it is also short on details. It is still a worthwhile investment for $16.

one of my own gripes about 'green eyes black rifles' is the quality of the paper it's printed on... it's coated paper but, very very light.

 

(granted, this is coming from a printing background)
