THE SECOND VOLUME ON THE ROOK RIFLES. In this volume we complete our study of the British Rook Rabbit and Miniature Rifles. As this story is so large and there is such a variety of these interesting rifles this could never be a book that covers each and every facet. We illustrate and detail the hammerless rifles that are true gems of the gunmaker's art. We continue with the diminutive and rare falling blocks in the rook size. A couple of pages are also devoted to some of the American rifles that were imported for this sport. A large section covers the small action Martinis that captured so much of the market and became important both for short range and gallery target use. A selection of the rare rook-size and miniature double rifles are shown. Ammunition that was used in these rifles as well as loading data and how to maker cartridges from currently available brass in discussed. Also the adapters to be used to allow military rifles to use low-power, rook type cartridges. Also included is a chapter that shows the beautifully made reloading tools that accompanied these rifles. Finally, a section is devoted to shooting these rifles today, both in the u.K. and the U.S. Loading information and the types of matches held. A wonderful book.…
