At the back of many a gun cabinet lurks a neglected old shotgun. Vintage Guns is a beautiful, fully illustrated book that not only offers expert advice on collecting guns and restoring them to firing condition, but it also encourages its readers to bring that neglected old shotgun back into service—all on a reasonable budget. It provides practical tips on buying the right gun for restoration, and it gives an honest description of the steps—and potential pitfalls—during the renovation process. Written for the shooter rather than the historian or engineer, it covers the subject in a lively, informative manner, always with the objective that the owner will actually want to use that restored gun. Topics include safety, servicing and maintenance, ribs and chokes, sidelocks and boxlocks, proofing, ejectors, ammunition, and much more. Heading to the field has never been easier. By Diggory Hadoke. 224pp, Color & B&W Photos. Size: 8 x 11, Hardcover with Dustjacket
