The Remington-Lee Rifle by Gene Myszkowski is a specialized historical reference book that chronicles the development, technical mechanics, and contract histories of the world's first successful detachable-box-magazine repeating rifle. The book serves as an indispensable guide for military historians and firearms collectors. It focuses extensively on the work of inventor James Paris Lee and his manufacturing partnership with E. Remington & Sons. The book covers the complete timeline of the Remington-Lee rifle family, tracking its evolution from a black-powder naval firearm to a modern, smokeless-powder small-bore rifle. Myszkowski documents the technical breakthroughs that occurred between the late 1870s and the early 1900s. He details how James Paris Lee's innovative detachable box magazine forever changed military infantry tactics by allowing rapid reloads. A Fine copy with only the very lightest use.
