Just ordered it. Not sure if this works for everyone but because today and tomorrow is Amazon Prime Day, I got $5.00 for a book purchase which brought it down to $19.32. I also had some other Prime rewards that brought it down to $0.00 with free shipping so the price can't get much better.

Ordered this book for the sole reason I want a definitive answer to what bullet grain and velocity the 1912 Steyr rifles shot...

My book came two days ago. I haven't had a lot of time to look at it but it has plenty of photos. I can't say I agree with his review on at least that part of it. Most every page has something on it. Now a lot of them are photos of various pages, etc but the rifle photos show the markings, different types, etc. Not sure what else you need. Don't need fifty of the same rifle. My one complaint is the paper quality. This is low quality paper.

My copy came a few days ago and it looks very good for the price, from what I've seen so far.

usabaker,
He's probaly a deadly NAVY SEAL or RANGER and doesn't want to give his Enid Blyton side away when story telling, you mustn't knock him cos he looks like Buffalo Bill.

Yeah, more than likely served with Mr. Rogers in the Navy Seals and helped him get a number of his confirmed kills. That would explain the military clothing he wears in his videos.

Good heavens, just because he washed and brushed his hair!
There's no pleasing some people!

Ian McCollum has authored a book on French
Rifles which is due out this fall. It looks incredible and I have one preordered. I've always enjoyed his videos. I just can't say I agree with his review. I tend to enjoy rifle books that fill both sides of what he was describing so this particular book fits me well. I did start reading it late last night and so far, it reads well.
