Book Description
Creating game guns of the highest quality requires exquisite craftsmanship and extreme patience, which results in unparalleled balance, responsiveness, and handling. This book is a study of appreciation for the leading game guns of yesterday and today, including the Parkers, Foxes, L.C. Smiths, and Lefevers of America's golden age of gunmaking, and the Purdeys, Holland & Hollands, Piottis, Garbis, and other fine doubles still being made in Europe.
Essential easy-to-understand instructions provide readers a working knowledge for creating game guns, from making stocks and barrels to the finishing touches of engraving, checkering, and gun fit.
