Críticas:

Plenty of practical advice for shooters who head for the auction house rather than the gunshop. --Sporting Shooter

This book is jam-packed with all manner of useful advice and information. It really struck a chord with me. --Bill Harriman, Shooting Times

Absolutely bursting with information and gun lore, and, even if you are a gun enthusiast only casually wondering about taking up a vintage gun, I am sure you will find much of interest. The number, variety and quality of pictures and Dig s easy-to-read style combine to pass on his knowledge effortlessly. --Sporting Gun

Reseña del editor:

At the back of many a gun cabinet lurks a neglected old shotgun. This book will encourage its owner to bring it back into use. It also provides practical advice on buying the right gun for restoration. It describes the steps and potential pitfalls on the path to renovation so the gun can be used and enjoyed. The author's passion is for old guns and for their continued use in the field. He argues that the quality of craftsmanship in many old guns, as well as the sheer pleasure of handling them, makes them superior to the machine-made over/unders of the modern shooting field. Hadoke covers all aspects of collecting and restoring shotguns for use - on an affordable budget. He writes for the shooter rather than the engineer or historian, and his fascinating book is presented in an easy-to-read style.
