This first volume of Burrard's monumental three?part study is the foundation stone of modern shotgun scholarship. It is not a manual in the casual sense but a deep technical anatomy of the sporting shotgun?its design, metallurgy, proofing, ballistics, and mechanical philosophy. Burrard writes with the authority of a soldier, sportsman, and meticulous experimenter, and the result is a work that shaped British gunmaking discourse for decades. The 1969 printing is part of the later reissues that kept the text in circulation after Herbert Jenkins merged into Barrie & Jenkins. These later printings are valued for their durability and for preserving Burrard's diagrams and tables with good clarity. Ref AA 5.
