An Essay On Shooting: Containing The Various Methods Of Forging, Boring, And Dressing Gun Barrels - Softcover
Synopsis
An Essay On Shooting: Containing The Various Methods Of Forging, Boring, And Dressing Gun Barrels by Magné De Marolles. This comprehensive treatise surveys the art and science of firearms production and use. It opens with a Preface and Contents that lead into detailed chapters on forging, boring, and dressing gun barrels, as well as the proofs, recoil, range, and the means of loading and firing. The work compares European methods for barrel manufacture (English, French, Spanish), describing tools, heat treatment, welding, twisting, and finishing techniques, and it discusses the relative merits and dangers of various approaches, including twisted and ribbon barrels and multiple proofs. Beyond manufacture, the manual extends to practical shooting guidance: selecting powder and shot, wadding, loading technique, and maintenance for fowling pieces. It also provides extensive instruction on game handling—from hare and rabbit to partridge, pheasant, grouse, woodcock, snipe, and wild ducks—and on training pointers for pointers and other hunting dogs. Throughout, it aims to serve as a thorough reference for gunsmiths and sporting gentlemen.
