Anybody interested in American walnut-stocked custom rifles should buy this book! LOTS of great information on their history.

Bump for a great book and also a great person who wrote it. It is among my most favored books.

I received one last Christmas as a gift. It's worth every penny. Interesting read on the elusive Adolph G. Minar.
