Long before the Internet I spent a lot of time in libraries and bookstores, and it was difficult back then to find much beyond basic information about almost anything unless it was somewhat mainstream.

When you did find something unusual or highly detailed, it was cause for celebration.

So no, I don’t feel overwhelmed. It’s a welcome feeling that I can get better answers than ever.

For me lately, the wealth of information on various firearms is immensely useful. Other than having someone in your personal circle, or going somewhere with a concentration of people who know what they're talking about and bothering them, there wasn't detailed information that was easily accessible on the topic. Sure, books existed. But you can only fit so many diagrams in a book.

Now, with web articles, and YouTube, it's so much easier to fully understand what you're operating, and how to maintain it.
