Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: 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 early 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.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. Second Printing, 199 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Alexander Henry's total production was approximately 2500 rifles. He was the first prominent British maker to promote the falling block and was also the most successful. Henry's craftsmanship was unsurpassed and the many surviving examples, which we will illustrate, attest to this. He was a true experimenter and his developmental work in rifling and cartridge design was very significant. Henry also explored the development, somewhat unsuccessfully, of hammerless action designs which will be covered in detail in this book. The book also covers loading techniques and common problems encountered. An excellent reference. A very limited reprint of a book that has been long out of print and very scarce.

Libro Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. First Printing, 260 pages. In this third volume, Wal Winfer relates the intriguing story of W.J. Jeffery and the Trade Farquharsons. He chronicles Jeffery's reintroduction of the Farquharson in England. The Trade Farquharsons cover all the Farquharson rifles made by the many firms excepting Gibbs. These rifles enjoyed a very short period of importance from about the mid 1880s until 1905. Trade Farquharsons filled a void that no other firearms of the day could. They were the poor man's big game rifle.They were the work horse big game rifles, used to hunt the largest animals in both Africa and India.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. Second Printing, 177 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Hundreds of detailed black & white photographs. 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 workmanship 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.

Libro Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: 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 Model 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.

Libro Prima edizione
Condizione: new. (Hardcover, 2023). 2023 1st edition. Folio (223 x 288mm). Ppx,349. Colour photographs throughout, b/w illustrations. Dark blue-green cloth, spine & upper board titled in gilt. Fine new copy in dust-wrapper. Covering the Sniders and Martinis which saw service in the hands of Queen Victoria's troops, and Sopers, which were a contemporary rifle style. The gunmaker's of the day incorporated these actions in sporting rifles for the civilian market and this is a story that hasn't been told until now. Sopers firearms are little known today and although of great interest to collectors almost nothing has been written on them previously. Sopers were made in both military and civilian styles with probably only just over 800 produced: they were known for their rapid fire capability. As usual, with Wal Winfer's books, similar but little-known designs, accessories, mechanical details and loading data are covered. The publisher states that this edition is limited to 500 copies only. .
