At the back of many a gun cabinet lurks a neglected old shotgun. This book will encourage its owner to bring it back into service. A beautiful, fully-illustrated volume, <em>Vintage Guns</em> offers expert advice on collecting guns and restoring them to firing condition-on a reasonable budget. It provides practical tips on buying the right gun for restoration, and gives an honest description of the steps-and potential pitfalls-on the path to renovation. Written for the shooter rather than the historian or engineer, it covers the subject in a lively, informative manner, always with an eye toward heading to the field. Topics covered include safety, servicing and maintenance, ribs and chokes, sidelocks and boxlocks, proofing, ejectors, ammunition, and much more. <strong>Originally published under the title (and identical to) <em>Vintage Guns: Collecting, Restoring & Shooting Classic Firearms</em>.</strong>
