Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. 311 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. In this volume we cover the Webley company, its history and the companies that were combined to make the firm. Also covered in detail are the rifles produced: the Scott-Field, Webley-Wyley, Model of 1897 and the famous Mo…del of 1902. Webley was, during the 1800s and early 19090s the largest British manufacturer of sporting arms. This is not widely known because Webley was a wholesale maker and most of their production carries a retailer's name. This story and various models of single shot rifles that Webley produced will be studied in detail. The remaining sections of this volume will cover a little known rifle, the Ingram-Coster of 1897 of which only one is known. The history of the two major makers of British ammunition, Eley and Kynoch as well as their activities and developments from black powder days, through Cordite and its problems and the development of Nitro for black loads, comprises the balance of the book. Also included is a large section devoted to additional information and corrections of material covered in previous books in this series. Excellent. Language: eng Language: eng.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. JUST PUBLISHED! 349 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. The very latest volume in the British Single Shot Rifle series by Wal Winfer and Rowe Publications. The saga of the sporting British single shot rifle continues with this story of the various hinged block…actions. Included are the primary types such as the Snider, Soper and sporting Martinis but also included are the lesser known rifles using variations of this system. Some of the variants of the Martini were the Harston, Tranter and Swinburn designs which which saw some production. Winfer goes on to cover obscure types, some of which were the MacNaughton Martini, Dougal, Walker & Money and many others, which were patented, but production was very limited often with just a handful of examples made. On to the Snider which has very interesting history as the military rifle which bridged the gap between the muzzle loaders and the cartridge era. Civilian versions were produced and large numbers were made. Finally the Soper, a really interesting design that never gained wide acceptance. As with so many other makers Soper pinned his hopes on the holy grail: the big military contract that never came. Both military and civilian versions were made, in very limited numbers. Loaded with hundreds of illustrations, many in full color. An outstanding new book.

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.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. 404 page. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Large volume. Very well illustrated. In this volume we cover the single shot rifles that were made in the greatest quantity in England - more than all other single shots combined. These are the small caliber rifles known a…s Rook Rifles. A previous book by colin Greenwoood has been published, which is excellent, but we are going to delve into much more detail with a lot more examples photographed. As nothing has been done previously on their larger brothers the Miniature Rifles, and there is so much overlap, we are including them also. When we started this project we weren't aware of how historically important these little rifles were. In this book we cover the early percussion and air rifle types and then get into the fascinating story of the needle fires. Why these were so important to the British trade as well as future cartridge design is covered in detail. We then cover the various developments in more traditional cartridge rifles through the center hammer break open designs. Also included is a large section devoted to additional information and corrections of material covered in previous books in this series as well as a few pages devoted to simple photography techniques. As this story is so large we have had to make two volumes. Volume 8 (to be published) will conclude the story. That book covers the hammerless rifles, ammunition and reloading and shooting the rook rifle today. We have also included a few recipes for those that would like to prepare a rook dinner.

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. A very limited reprint of a book that has been out of print and very scarce.
