About this title

Synopsis

The completion of a two volume study of the British Rook, Rabbit & Miniature rifles. These rifles were the most common of all British rifles but have been little known until now. They were made in all grades from the cheapest models made on the continent to true gems of the gun maker's art. This volume covers the later types including the hammerless models, double rifles in rook calibers and Martinis. Also included are the ammunition and loading tools used in these rifles as well as reloading and shooting the Rook rifle today. 8.5 inches x 11 inches. Numerous color photographs.
