Book Reviews of Double Guns and Custom Gunsmithing
Book Review: Quality information for select market
Summary: 3 Stars
The prospective buyer should take a good look at the title of this book to ensure that he has reasonable expectations regarding its content. It is not a book for every hunter who owns or wants to own a double. It is a book for the double rifle gunsmith and the tinkerer and it is a good one.
Double rifles have a tendency to grow ill over time if not well-maintained. This book provides the double rifle owner who takes the maintenance and care of his snake-eyed darlings rather seriously with a good deal of information on how to ensure their health. It is an interesting book for the double rifle student in that it also covers some 'post British era' designs from Europe such as the interesting Brothers Rizzini design.
This is not a book which takes the new student of double rifles on a detailed path of information and discovery. It is reasonably specific and not an extensive survey of all double names and designs. What is covered though is covered well, but this could just as well have been a paperback given the absence of truly high quality photography or colour.
For the right reader this is a good book and good value for money, but it is not for everybody.
Summary of Double Guns and Custom Gunsmithing
The burgeoning popularity of double guns (both over/unders and side-by-sides) in the United States is no secret, and few gunmakers know more about them than Steven Dodd Hughes, who has been building, repairing, and customizing these firearms for three decades.Firearms & Weapons Books
