Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. JUST PUBLISHED! 349 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. The very latest volume in the British Single Shot Rifle series by Wal Winfer and Rowe Publications. The saga of the sporting British single shot rifle continues with this story of the various hinged block actions. Included are the primary types such as the Snider, Soper and sporting Martinis but also included are the lesser known rifles using variations of this system. Some of the variants of the Martini were the Harston, Tranter and Swinburn designs which which saw some production. Winfer goes on to cover obscure types, some of which were the MacNaughton Martini, Dougal, Walker & Money and many others, which were patented, but production was very limited often with just a handful of examples made. On to the Snider which has very interesting history as the military rifle which bridged the gap between the muzzle loaders and the cartridge era. Civilian versions were produced and large numbers were made. Finally the Soper, a really interesting design that never gained wide acceptance. As with so many other makers Soper pinned his hopes on the holy grail: the big military contract that never came. Both military and civilian versions were made, in very limited numbers. Loaded with hundreds of illustrations, many in full color. An outstanding new book.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. 404 page. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Large volume. Very well illustrated. In this volume we cover the single shot rifles that were made in the greatest quantity in England - more than all other single shots combined. These are the small caliber rifles known as Rook Rifles. A previous book by colin Greenwoood has been published, which is excellent, but we are going to delve into much more detail with a lot more examples photographed. As nothing has been done previously on their larger brothers the Miniature Rifles, and there is so much overlap, we are including them also. When we started this project we weren't aware of how historically important these little rifles were. In this book we cover the early percussion and air rifle types and then get into the fascinating story of the needle fires. Why these were so important to the British trade as well as future cartridge design is covered in detail. We then cover the various developments in more traditional cartridge rifles through the center hammer break open designs. Also included is a large section devoted to additional information and corrections of material covered in previous books in this series as well as a few pages devoted to simple photography techniques. As this story is so large we have had to make two volumes. Volume 8 (to be published) will conclude the story. That book covers the hammerless rifles, ammunition and reloading and shooting the rook rifle today. We have also included a few recipes for those that would like to prepare a rook dinner.
