About this title

Synopsis

Few draftsmen have so clearly and economically delineated firearms mechanisms. The drawings exemplify the study; they are done by working from the guns, not factory drawings, old blueprints or catalogs. In this book you will find lock times, spring rates and cam angles plus considerable historical content.
