Vintage Guns for the Modern Shot

At the back of many a gun cabinet lurks a neglected old shotgun. This book will encourage its owner to bring it back into service. A beautiful, fully-illustrated volume, Vintage Guns offers expert advice on collecting guns and restoring them to firing condition on a reasonable budget. It provides practical tips on buying the right gun for restoration, and gives an honest description of the steps and potential pitfalls on the path to renovation. Written for the shooter rather than the historian or engineer, it covers the subject in a lively, informative manner, always with an eye toward heading to the field. Topics covered include safety, servicing and maintenance, ribs and chokes, sidelocks and boxlocks, proofing, ejectors, ammunition, and much more. 50 b/w photos, 215 color photosHadoke, Diggory is the author of 'Vintage Guns for the Modern Shot ', published 2008 under ISBN 9781602391987 and ISBN 160239198X.
