The Gun by Christopher Roads S/H
£7.50
A seminal book based on the 1974 BBC TV series “The Gun” which consisted of ten, fifteen minute programmes covering the development of the gun. Each chapter in the book covers one of the episodes with evocative titles such as “The Great Leveller”, “Riflemen Form” and “Accurate at a Mile”.
Christopher Roads was then the Deputy Director of the Imperial War Museum and also the author of “The British soldiers Firearm 1850 – 1864”.
This interesting and singular work was what inspired me to shoot at a thousand yards and stimulated my interest in collecting, shooting and researching firearms.
I have a few second hand copies of this book, so when they are gone they are gone.
Price £7.50 plus postage.
