Home Forums Miscellaneous Topics Movie, Book, and Music Review The Guns of John Moses Browning

Hey guys,

I just finished reading a very, very good book titled, “The Guns of John Moses Browning”, authored by Nathan Gorenstein. The book was published this year and is a must read for firearm enthusiast. It’s an excellent and enjoyable read. The author does an extremely good job portraying details of the life of John Browning and all the firearms he gets credit for inventing including the problems he overcame during the designs. Without boring the reader with nitty-gritty details it touches on the majority of his 128 firearm patents used for plinking, hunting and the various designs used in all the wars and conflicts since WW1 and how the firearms are typically used. As you well know, many are currently in production around the world.

I've been a big fan of John M. Browning for years, like many others. So, my oldest Son got me the book one year for my Birthday, titled; John M.Browning, American Gun maker, printed in 2004, second Edition, 4 th printing. I enjoyed this Book so much that I had to go out and per sue, an original 1879 single shot that was made in his shop! Before, he sold his first patent to Winchester! Crazy! So how is your book any different, or Better?

I have no idea since I have not read the book you referred to.

I appreciate your Honesty! I'll try to find it at the Library before I purchase it! You really should take a look at the one I referred to!

So I found the Book at the local library, and ordered it! I'll read up on it and then report back, my thoughts! I'm sure that I'll enjoy it, and I just want to see if I need to add it to my library, in my office!

I had just gotten thee book and plan on reading it.

Just got the Book from the Library!

Great read!!!

Love it!

Yeah a lot of the same info, but Facts are Facts!

I like them Both, and can't wait till I get upstairs to read myself to sleep!

Great recommendation, will follow up!!!

Moving along in my spare time, and actually going back and re reading especially interesting parts, as to newer info, not shared in the past!
Very good book, and I would recommend to any one interested on knowing more about this exceptionally talented, ingenious Man!

Great Book, even with the Factual similarities, naturally, there was a lot more up to date info, and more Family Stories, with Historical Data that I was unaware of!
Definitely will put it into the Library, as I enjoy going Back and re reading!
Thanks for the Recommend!

Just Received the new American Rifleman Magazine from the NRA, and they have a very nice Article, Highlighting the New Browning Book!

I can not believe that I had this book for almost two years now. It took me a long time to start reading this book. I finished it last week. I enjoyed it very much.
