Add to basketVolume Four covers the same basic topics as the three previous volumes, but from the exclusive standpoint of the .50 caliber Browning, which has been in continuous service longer than any other weapon in the U.S. arsenal, and is still in use today in the inventories of 86 countries worldwide. 2008 marks the 90th anniversary of John Browning's first .50 caliber prototype, which, after a shaky start, came into its own with the introduction of the M2 'universal receiver' in 1933. A total of eight prime contractors - three of them divisions of the General Motors Corporation which had never produced a firearm of any kind before - manufactured nearly two million .50 caliber Brownings, of six basic types, during WWII. By the late 1970s U.S. Army requirements had exceeded available stocks, and today a number of modern contractors are again producing standard and enhanced versions of the venerable M2 in the U.S., Britain and elsewhere. 8 1/2 X 11 inches, hardcover with dust jacket with dust jacket, illus, 415 pages.

All our books are brand new, never sold books, unless otherwise noted.
We are proud to say we package "bulletproof" - you won't find a vendor who packages better than us! Our books are tightly wrapped first in a plastic bag for moisture protection, and then in a box, never an envelope. We provide sufficient cushioning to protect the collectibility of our products.
We think you will find our shipping rates to be reasonable and fair, especially as compared to other vendors.
We do our best to package and ship your order within 24 hours of ordering, except for U.S. Postal holidays and Sundays. The estimated arrival date is an estimate, not a guarantee, of when your package will arrive and it can be affected by a number of factors including time of day your order was placed, time of day your order was packaged, whether there are unswered communications about your order, how busy the post office is due to manpower shortages or holiday shipping, to name a few.
Please email us with any questions you may have about our shipping policies.
