ISBN: 9780595357963 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. "In the early transition from the long-lived flintlock system, handgun development closely paralleled that of the long arms. With the advent of the revolving pistols, however; came patents that created monopolies in revolver production and the through-bored cylinder necessary for self-contained metallic cartridges.

Double-Barreled Rifles: Fascination in Wood and Steel
ISBN: 9780764327483 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. The fascination of a traditionally built, double-barreled gun can scarcely fail to attract a passionate hunter. For one thing, there is the perfection of handiwork in making clean-shooting guns, but also the spirit that emanates from these weapons. The double-barreled gun is part of hunting, and when you hold an old English gun in your hand, your mind's eye almost automatically conjures up visions of elephants, buffalos, or lions, great antelopes in the African scrub or rain forest, even if you are just hunting deer or wild boar back home. With the detailed engraving, beautiful grain,...

Gunsmoke and Saddle Leather: Firearms in the Nineteenth-Century American West
ISBN: 9780826335937 / Angielski / Twarda / 522 str. The gun, like the axe and the plow, was an essential tool in the exploration and settlement of the trans-Mississippi West. It provided food for the cooking pot as well as protection against two- or four-legged marauders. As the century progressed, firearms also provided various forms of recreation for both men and women, primarily target and competition shooting. Of course the employment of the gun, whether for good or evil, depended upon the user. The men and women who lived the nineteenth-century western experience sometimes described in detail the role firearms played in their lives. Such...

Cartridge Drawings Now and Then from the Pen of Ken
ISBN: 9781845492137 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. The breech loading shotgun would have been no use without its cartridges.

It also includes some overseas cartridges as well as many others of the British Isles not previously published. This is, in part, a history of shotgun cartridges and it should bring back...
