Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. 416 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Hundreds of detailed photographs (mostly in color), drawings and charts. THE SECOND VOLUME ON THE ROOK RIFLES. In this volume we complete our study of the British Rook Rabbit and Miniature Rifles. As this story is so larg…e and there is such a variety of these interesting rifles this could never be a book that covers each and every facet. We illustrate and detail the hammerless rifles that are true gems of the gunmaker's art. We continue with the diminutive and rare falling blocks in the rook size. A couple of pages are also devoted to some of the American rifles that were imported for this sport. A large section covers the small action Martinis that captured so much of the market and became important both for short range and gallery target use. A selection of the rare rook-size and miniature double rifles are shown. Ammunition that was used in these rifles as well as loading data and how to maker cartridges from currently available brass in discussed. Also the adapters to be used to allow military rifles to use low-power, rook type cartridges. Also included is a chapter that shows the beautifully made reloading tools that accompanied these rifles. Finally, a section is devoted to shooting these rifles today, both in the u.K. and the U.S. Loading information and the types of matches held. A wonderful book.

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 265 pages. Westley Richards was the leader in British breechloading single shot development. Their early designs predated both the paper cartridge and coil case forms of the 1850-1860 period. The book describes Westley Richards designs in great detail during this important e…arly breechloading period and shows how they were to influence subsequent firearms development. These designs evolved into the various hinged block similar to the Martini and falling block actions with which we are familiar. The Model of 1881 sidelever falling block and the underlever Model of 1887, a development from the 1881, were particularly important to the big game hunter. Much attention is given to the text, and hundreds of photos and drawings of the rifles, sights, reloading tools and cartridges for all models are contained in the book. The book also illustrates the whole range of single shot production to cover rook, sporting, military breechloaders and match rifles from the Monkey Tail to the .600 Nitros Westley Richards produced. Further the book chronicles the supply of Westley Richards military rifles to the Boer Republics. Westley Richards developments in black powder and nitro cartridges are also given extensive coverage with detailed information on their history, original loads, acceptance in the market and modern reloading information.

The Farquharson Action made by Gibbs is one of the great legends in the history of the worlds' gunmakers. Of all the British single shots, it is the best known. The work…manship exhibited in these rifles is truly British Best! Gibbs rifles were made in match, military, rook and sporting styles. The match rifles, for ranges up to 1000 yards were the uncontested winners in England. The military rifles, used in military competitions were as fine as a match rifle. The rook rifles were delicate masterpieces on a small scale. Sporting rifles participated in the stalking hunts of Scotland but more importantly saw the big game fields of India and Africa. The famous hunter Selous used Gibbs rifles on some of his African hunts. This book will tell you the history and development and show you, in detailed photos and drawings, these famous Gibbs rifles.
