Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Vintage gun expert Diggory Hadoke (author of Vintage Guns for the Modern Shot and The British Boxlock Gun and Rifle) has now produced an accessible work on the subject for which he is best known: the hammer gun.With a fascinating mixture of historical analysis, practical application and pers…onal reflection, he makes a robust case for the Victorian hammer gun as the finest sporting gun available today, just as it was a century ago.The reader will discover all that is worth knowing about the subject: how the guns were devised, crafted and used, how they were perfected and how they work.Modern applications are given equal weight to historical ones and subjects such as the selection of suitable ammunition, stripping, refurbishing and customising will prove invaluable to anyone contemplating taking a hammer gun into the field and using it as they would a modern gun.More than a reference book, this is a clearly-written guide for owners and collectors that will prove invaluable for buying and maintaining Victorian hammer guns. The Hammer gun is a relatively primitive, totally hand-built, unique, supremely elegant and satisfying work of art; but it also has some genuine advantages over all the expensive modern guns used today. They remain, according to the author, the best guns ever made - and today they are still in many ways better than anything else available. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Large hardback in Fine condition, dust wrapper also in Fine condition. First edition, pp224, colour and b&w illustrations. THE PACKED WEIGHT OF THIS BOOK IS OVER 1KG, SO FOR UK FIRST CLASS AND INTERNATIONAL, ADDITIONAL POSTAGE COSTS WILL BE REQUIRED. Old-fashi…oned shotguns are coming back into vogue. This book provides practical advice on buying the right gun for restoration. It describes the steps and potential pitfalls on the path to renovation so that the gun can be used and enjoyed. Diggory Hadoke covers all aspects of collecting and restoring shotguns for use - on an affordable budget. It is written for the shooter rather than the engineer or historian, and covers the subject in a lively, informative manner. The author's passion is for old guns and for their continued use in the field. He argues that the quality of craftsmanship in many old guns, as well as the sheer pleasure of handling them, makes them superior to the machine-made over/unders of the modern shooting field. Topics covered include: * buying vintage guns * over & unders * servicing & maintenance * lightweight guns * customising * damascus/steel barrels * safety considerations * ribs/chokes * barrels/locks/action/woodwork * proofing * sidelocks/boxlocks * extensions/locking bolts * ejectors * operating levers * single triggers * gunstock issues * bore sizes * ammunition for vintage guns and much more.
