I found this old book at a gun show. A pretty good read and another good book recommended by Mr. Taffin. Can y'all recommend any good books?  |

Slick cover. What year was it published? Speaking of old books, my dad just gave me his old Handloaders Digests, Guns Illustrated, Gun Digests, and Shooters Bibles to name a few. Most are from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. It's really neat to see write-ups on "new" cartridges like the 22 Jet, 10mm Auto, 401 PowerMag, 225 Win, 6.5 Rem Mag, 7mm-08, 8mm Rem Mag, 350 Rem Mag, etc, etc. There're also articles on a couple of young gunsmiths by the names of John Linebaugh and Dick Casull  -Lee www.singleactions.com |

JT,
I would have bet you have the originals. I have all but the rifle in original editions. Recently bought the set of reprints. Interestingly, the reprints have an intro written by Thell Reed.
Great reading.

Great reading. Jayhawker Bob I DO AND THEY RE-PRINTED THEM ALL AFTER THEY READ MY CAMPFIRE TALES ABOUT COL. COOPER. |
