About this title

Synopsis

This authoritative guide to British-made shotguns looks at individual makers, their products, and the selling points of particular guns. In some cases Wieland also notes negative points or product limitations. While the book will be welcomed by gun collectors worldwide, it is particularly useful to those who are curious about British makers whose production was or is substantial enough that their guns would have crossed the pond into North America. Fine shotguns have been made in England and Scotland for more than a century, and many have been imported to the U.S. as new and vintage guns. British gun makers include distinguished, established firms as well as hundreds of lesser-known makers, including small, specialized operations.

About the Author

With a master's of education from UNC-Greensboro, this former teacher now networks for organizations such as Resolution Hope and Not for Sale and raises her voice for victims of sex trafficking across the nation. Susan serves as a catalyst for action among her peers and walks alongside rescued girls as they piece together their shattered lives.
