The Gunmith of Grenville County
« on: October 30, 2012, 08:41:01 AM »
Back in the day I read Peter A. Alexander's articles on ML rifle building as they were published in MuzzleLoader magazine I think it was.  I thought they were great works and tried to copy each article so I could have a complete set.  But alas... I missed some.   :-\
 
Sometime along the way it occurred to me to get a copy of his book by the same name, but alack... I found it was out of print and unavailable.   :'(
 
But all y'all long rifle builders or wanna be builders, be of good cheer!   ;D  It is back in print and revised!   :o  I got my copy posthaste and it is just... great!  Makes me want to finish that Golden Age 32 Cal. Flinter...  ;)
