Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: 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.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: 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.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: 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.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: 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.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: 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.

Condition: 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. .
