Looking for a good quality air gun book, with quality pictures, diagrams, technical data. If you need to make or find a piece that the parent company no longer makes it's a crap shoot on the size or even where the part might go. I have bought several older guns in the hopes of getting them to work but it appears most companies haven't bothered to keep any records or even pictures of what the gun looked like.
Is there a quality air gun book out there that has good pictures, diagrams, and data.

If the guns in question are Crosmans or Sheridans, you're in luck. There are pdf files out there that cover pretty much all of the older ones.
The Crosman web-site has manuals and exploded part diagrams that you can download for free.

FX is superb at keeping records, providing links on their website to diagrams and parts lists as well having parts available for their guns
There is also a wealth of quality info and repair videos on the net.
Search "Ernest Rowe" for starters
FWIW
Daystate, a laggard in this area , has begun a workshop series of videos/texts about disassembly/reassembly of a few of their guns.
The videos are very well produced and informative IMO
As mentioned by @Treefrog The Crosman archives run deep
Access to their parts lists also makes it possible to order parts by model and part number by phoning the usually knowledgeable staff in upstate NY
Hope this helps

Have to make your browser translate it, but you might find at least a little of what you're looking for here:
mirrorzeta.altervista.org Might also try talking to someone like Rick at Precision Pellet. If nothing else, he may be able to point you in the right direction:

There's just not that much demand for the type of tome that the OP here seeks, unfortunately.
Youtube (again, unfortunately) seems to be the go-to for airgun knowledge.
The vintage comprehensive Crosman repair manual is out there for those that seek it. The Sheridan manual as well.

You might enjoy these two books by Ron Robinson (AirNGasman). They don't address most of the new stuff out there but there's good info on a lot of classic guns and the photography is tops. I doubt if you'll find these in bookstores, so contact him directly.
