Follow along as Glen Davis builds a single shot, lever action, rifle from scratch, using mostly recycled materials. This book includes a detailed build description of an original rifle, photographs of the actual build process, and scalable drawings. Written in the author's own voice are detailed discussion about the purpose and use of features included in this refile design, including trigger pull, safety mechanisms, the rotating block action, wood stock customization, metal bluing, and wood finish. The entire build uses no complicated tools, and could be reproduced in the average home shop. Glen Davis builds firearms as a hobby. He spends quite a bit of time repairing and restoring antique firearms. While he has made several parts from scratch to use in the repair of antique firearms, this is the first original design to come out of his shop. Aside from firearms, Glen has built canoes, kayaks, guitars, knives, and tools. He spends nearly all of his free time in his shop restoring, musical instruments, cars, motorcycles, and antique machine shop tools.

A “well-researched and very readable new biography” (The Wall Street Journal) of “the Thomas Edison of guns,” a visionary inventor who designed the modern handgun and whose awe-inspiring array of firearms helped ensure victory in numerous American wars and holds a crucial place in world history. Few people are aware that John Moses Browning—a tall, humble, cerebral man born in 1855 and raised as a Mormon in the American West—was the mind behind many of the world-changing firearms that dominated more than a century of conflict. He invented the design used in virtually all modern pistols, created the most popular hunting rifles and shotguns, and conceived the machine guns that proved decisive not just in World Wars I and II but nearly every major military action since. Yet few in America knew his name until he was into his sixties. Now, author Nathan Gorenstein brings firearms inventor John Moses Browning to vivid life in this riveting and revealing biography. Embodying the tradition of self-made, self-educated geniuses (like Lincoln and Edison), Browning was able to think in three dimensions (he never used blueprints) and his gifted mind produced everything from the famous Winchester “30-30” hunting rifle to the awesomely effective machine guns used by every American aircraft and infantry unit in World War II. The British credited Browning’s guns with helping to win the Battle of Britain. His inventions illustrate both the good and bad of weapons. Sweeping, lively, and brilliantly told, this fascinating book that “gun collectors and historians of armaments will cherish” (Kirkus Reviews) introduces a little-known legend whose impact on history ranks with that of the Wright Brothers, Thomas Edison, and Henry Ford.
