It's a great book--and I was turned onto it by Dave Scovill, when he was editor of Handloader and Rifle. Don't know what they're going for these days, but am sure glad to have it in my library.

Incidentally, there's a photo of the prototype rifle Winchester planned to introduce in Europe--and it has a cocking piece like the 1903 Springfield.
Might post a photo here later....
