The Gunsmith Kinks series by Brownell offers many field expedient firearms repairs. For those with acreage I'd recommend Homemade Contrivances and How to Make Them, Handy Farm Equipment and How to Use It and Farm Conveniences and How to Make Them (from the late 1800's). And for those who don't want to reinvent the wheel there is 507 Mechanical Movements.
