Book Description
Before purchasing a modern sporting rifle there are many things to consider.
This updated and expanded edition of Bolt Action Rifles contains the
information readers need to speak intelligently to gunsmiths, and understand
their suggestions and objections. Contains years of thoroughly researched
information, such as technical descriptions, instructions for takedown/disassembly,
hints for reworking, and dimensional specifications of every major design
manufactured since the Mauser of 1871.
This massive reference also contains a remarkable
amount of historical and general information clearly written, not without
an occasional touch of humor, and detailed assembly drawings of featured
rifles with individual reviews of the action, safety, and firing mechanism.
Suitable not only for the professional and amateur gunsmith, but also
for any hunter or collector who wishes to gain a more thorough understanding
of his gun, and anyone who contemplates acquiring a new one.
