Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 3rd Edition. 203 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. "With uncompromising quality haunting their craft, today's game gun builders offer hunters firearms as efficient in form and function as the game they hunt," Richard Grozik writes in this exploration of why the classic handcrafted side-by-side is still the best gun for bird shooters. This book is a study in appreciation, as Grozik details the sweat and blood and care that goes int the making of a best-quality game gun. The hours of hammering and hand-filing that form the fine tolerances of the barrels. The precision fittings of the bridle, springs, tumblers, and pins that compose the intricate workings of the lock. The carvings and filing and cutting of the stock from a fine piece of walnut. The finishing touches of checkering and engraving. All these elements combine to build into the game gun a balance, responsiveness, and handling that you can't find in machine-made shotguns. The result is a gun that fits the shooter in the field and reacts "almost involuntarily" with his reflexes. But just as the gun is more than the some of its parts, it is also more than its function. The beauty and elegance of a classic game gun enhances a hunter's life in ways that are hard to quantify. This book takes a look at the leading "best" guns of yesterday and today, including the Parkers, Foxes, L.C. Smith, and Lefevers of America's golden age of gunmaing, and the Purdeys, Holland & Holland, Piottis, Garbis, and other fine doubles still being made in Europe. Excellent. Both the Book and the Dust Jacket are in Very Fine As New condition. Artikel-Nr. DP084
